Staropramen is good... Used to drink that a while ago.

Stella i used to drink in huge amounts,doing over 2 gallons on many a session,but im sure they brewed it with LSD mixed in.. Some of the things i have done while looned on it dont bare thinking about..

Now im older and my taste has altered..
Really like....

Marstons old empire
Innes and Gunn..

But my absolute favourite is........

Henry Westons vintage reserve cider..

Makes all Lagers taste like eurofizz pish !!

Because when you've drank enough, you want to beat the wife

That'll be the out of date stuff

It must have only just been changed as there was still 5.2% stuff in the pint cans.

Best get it down tonight.

I spotted the offending 5% cans in Morrisons, Letchworth.

I imagine there are a few million cans of the retro 5.2% cans still out there to be enjoyed

It does.

Stella is known for similar effects. I can't drink it, and I hate it if Micky does. Not that he beats me btw.

Is that because you've beaten him first?

No, I like my lager, but just don't like that. I couldn't drink enough to turn me into a maniac.

Saying that, some would say I'm that before a drink.

Stella, rather drink my own p1ss. It probably tastes better and will have a higher ABV!

Its just another cooking lager.

I've bought Super Bock in both Asda and Tesco over here. £3.64 for 6 bottles in both stores at the moment ~60p a bottle.

Tesco are doing the big Bottles of Leffe, 2 for a fiver, thats six point something percent, if you are drinking it based on strength that is, I do sometimes as I get moaned at based on how many cans I have had, so I may as well have something decent, Carling tastes ok but takes too many cans to get a buzz.

I tend to have 2 or 3 then stop nowadays.

Stella for me, used to drink the cans but never again as once you've had the bottled stuff the cans taste rough. The big bottles of Stella they do in Sainsburys are spot on. Will go looking for Super Bock and give that a try.

As for others mentioned here I do not know how anyone can drink Fosters/Budweiser/Becks/Carlsberg it's like drinking water and tastes rank. I'd rather drink alcopops than that p!sswater.

2nd choice to bottled/draught Stella is Kronenberg 1066 If abroad and they aren't available then its Red Stripe, San Miguel or anything German that's +5%
