The water quality, soft/hardness and general make up of can make a huge difference to beer flavourQuote:

I drank in the Right Wing pub and I was also a Drayman and delivered their beer regularly, I got a hard time from my mates and locals, I knew it was Carling 😆Quote:

They called me back and said "I'm sorry to have to break the news to you, but your horse has diabetes".
It's astonishing the number of restaurants that don't know the difference between lager, beer and ale. Fortunately tonight I had an ipa of Irish origin in a chain steak restaurant in Newcastle, still not a patch on the Brewdog I had earlier.Quote:

Pilsner Urquell in Prague is top notch.Quote:

Tank beers are worth seeking out too. The beer sits in a huge tank rather than a keg. If you like the hoppiness that you get with Czech pilsner then tank beers just taste a wee bit better.
:agree:Quote:

When I was in Prague I was drinking Staropramen dark, must admit I had never heard of it, but it was a really nice pint or ten 😆Quote:

I've just discovered a golden pale ale called Ossian by the Inveralmond Brewery in Perth. Defo worth buying a few bottles in your next shop.
My favourite thing is seeing places that advertise a great range of "lagers and beers."Quote:

Got a fetish for Blue Moon at the moment, also a nice a IPA from the Campervan Brewery - Leith Juice.
Tennents is sh te of course, and that Guinness Hop House range is mince.
Times were I liked a strong lager like Stella, but the days of sessions are past. I look for something with flavour these days.
I've had a pretty ****ty day at work so I've been trying to stave off leaving a bit early and going via the pub.
But this thread has convinced me it's a great idea - you *******s :greengrin
If that's about the second cheapest lager over there (or was 10 years ago) it's possibly the best I've ever tasted. :agree:Quote:

This. I hear a lot that the likes of Fosters and Carling are crap lagers or pisswater but they seem to be the most popular in the uk so they cant be that bad!Quote:

I posted on another thread that I love finding bars that still serve cask ale using the old Aitken tall founts. I was in the Abbotsford on Saturday and had a stout and a pale ale, both from the Cromarty brewery, out of them and the difference is noticeable from the more popular hand pull. The Bow Bar still uses them as well.
Love a pint of Budweiser. Most others I can give or take.
A good pint of Tennents beats everything else hands down imo.Quote:
