Worst lager in England?

Bwah?!?!? This is physically possible?!?!?!?!?

The rest of the world gets buy on it. Discounting lager as a whole means you are discounting almost everything brewed in Germany and they know a thing or two about brewing.

My current favourite is Windhoek Export from Namibia. It's lovely stuff.

Worst lager? There are too many to mention but that doesn't mean they are all bad.

Can you even still buy this in the U.K.? I've not seen it in ages...

Had to google that, InBev brewed it under license over here till June 2009 when they noticed it was one of the biggest abominations in human history and did us all a favour by not making it any more.

Worse still it was 4.8% in Australia when only 3/7% over here...

All the mainstream Lagers are horrid.

I had something in a pub once called "Crystal" I think, which was probably the worst I'v ever had.

This is the best news I've heard in ages.

It was important to share with everyone!

Oh and this seemed thread appropriate

Ah, a fellow Waitrose shopper

Carling is probably the worst, closely followed by Fosters. I'm pretty inured to Tennents these days though.

Carling or Fosters. I would rather go without than drink those two. I don't drink much beer full stop but those two are guaranteed to make me feel rubbish after 2/3 pint.

Usually drink ale or continental lager if I am on the sauce. There are literally hundreds of top quality ales and lagers in every city if you look for the right pubs. I would rather pay them a little more for something genuinely tasty.

carlsberg, wouldnt drink it if you paid me.

Indeed, but Tesco do it as well and sometimes have it on offer.

You can tell when it's on offer because that's then the Tesco delivery can comes to my house.

I'm only 17 so I have hardly any experience with nice lagers. I only ever get hold of stuff from Asda so thats not going to be exotic! Once im old enough I will try some weird stuff and branch out a bit. Im a fan of Corona though, Becks is nice too.

Luckystrike123 · 2 Apr 2013 at 16:54

Carlsberg / Carling / Fosters are all as bad as each other as they have no taste.

Mark A · 2 Apr 2013 at 16:54

Tesco value stuff would probably take the worst position. It's 2% iirc as well, utterly pointless.

I do like some lagers though. Nice and refreshing in the summer after a hard days work.

tomparker95 · 2 Apr 2013 at 16:55

ASDA's own is horrendous too, tastes vile

FrenchTart · 2 Apr 2013 at 16:57

Can't believe I typed "is great" rather than "isn't great"

gillywibble · 2 Apr 2013 at 16:57

Heineken, then Carlsberg.

Woden · 2 Apr 2013 at 17:00

Carling, can't stand it.

I am more of a bitter (pub) or ale (home) drinker but like the occasional lager. But Carling is just foul.
