Yes, very nice. Also nice is the the 6x500ml bottles of perlenbacher pils for €7

However I worry about the side effects of their really cheap beer, excelsior...

Fajitas!

Oranjeboom is a nice beer, too much isn't fun though. A lot of off licenses are stocking it these days.

Bavaria is alright... but Kerpackie is my new favourite - Fantastic beer for the money.

Your right, I forgot. Perlenbacher is better again and a very good price.

I just got a case of Labatt Ice 20 bottles for 18 euro and think its nice similar to fosters but better quality. It reminds of rolling rock because of the case it in.

Yeah was just going to suggest it, four for a fiver, somewhat similar to bavaria in taste but no metallicness, plus 5%

Don't keep a head at all though.

You would be better off not drinking then

Despite the ads, Stella is very cheap to buy. I can get a crate of 24 bottles (330ml not the small lidl ones) for the grand price of €24 in my local centra. I do like Bavaria crown though.

Nah just drink it quick before it goes flat.

In fairness I don't like gassy beer so I should probably count that as an advantage.

Have you seen the add for the new Kronenbourg 1664 Dynamo? Its selling point is less bubbles.

Sol beer is a good cheap alternative to Corona.

Just bought 6X 500ml "plastic" bottles for €6.99 of this stuff in Tesco.



Its proper Belgian beer and 5% abv. Aldi also sell this beer but its called Schulten Brau and cost €2.99 for 4 X33cl plastic bottles.

Pilsener tasting
Martens Pils performed well in a blindfold tasting at the brewery, for the Belgian magazine Beer Passion. I did not guess that it came from the home team, but I
Gorgeous glasses, beautiful buildings: A Grand Place for a drink.enjoyed its noble hop aroma; firm, rounded, body; and length. It was a tasting of Pilseners available in Belgium. I have long enjoyed Martens' neighbour Pax Pils, and again appreciated its almost stony, austere, dryness. I also liked the robustly, herbal hop flavour of Prosit Pils, though some of my fellow panellists found it just too medicinal.
I also greatly appreciated the flowery, clean, "spring-water" style of Akila Pils, from the Louwaege brewery. It reminded me of the famous Cristal Alken at its best. Cristal Alken was in the tasting, and had the good bitterness I have always enjoyed, but seemed harsher and huskier than I remember. From the same company, Maes Pils still had a touch of its typically "white wine" character, veering toward fruitiness, but not quite the elegance I recall.
Some of my fellow tasters especially liked Bavik Pils, in which I found a very good hop flavour, quite lemony in the lingering finish. I enjoyed the fresh, minty, hop aroma and firm, smooth, maltiness of Golden Kenia, but it fell away somewhat in the finish. Haacht Pils had a leafy, fruity, hop aroma; a light but firm body; but a slightly harsh dryness in the finish. SAS Pils left a lovely Brussels lace, and had a malty aroma and start, but again disappointed in the finish. Bockor Pils also had good lace, and was light, crisp and quenching. Romy Pils had the aroma of fresh green herbs and an enjoyable late dryness.
There will be a fuller report in a future edition of Beer Passion.

XXXX is 1 Euro a can in supervalu, and is a perfectly cromulent lager. Quite tasty and light. Lowish in alcohol, but getting hammered on 4 cans defeats the purpose of beer anyway. That's what shots are for.

spitfireIRL

is that the castlemaine stuff? their cans are unreal. 'At least they cant ban drinking in pubs'

hunter164

Taste like piss though.

Another vote for Prazsky, very smooth taste.

Cans of UK brewed cobra 5% are €25 for 24 in O'Briens at the moment. Have yet to taste it.

Bier D'Or in Tesco. Comes in 250ml bottles. 20 bottles for about 9euro. The surprising thing is that it is pleasant (coming from a bottle), fulfilling on the pallet, and easy to drink quickly (the small bottles) . . . so be careful once you start!

I pay 50 - 70 cent for a 500ml bottle of beer in the local drink market

One of the advantages of living in Germany.

Until you want a stout, a hoppy pale ale, or anything else that isn't lager or wheat beer, right?
