Super Bock
Having consumed this king of beers for the last several years whilst enjoying the sunny climate of Portugal, i have consistently scoured super markets and other beverage emporiums in my quest to find this superior liquid alas to no avail, until that is last night when I found it in my local Tesco. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The quandary is now ……
Do I buy it ?
What if its not as good as when consumed abroad (suitably chilled that is )
Can I handle the disappointment

Super Bock rocks 
Bought a bottle back from Lagos that sits proudly next to my monitor.
We sung a little jingle when someone had to go and replenish stocks . . .
<Sung to the Supermatch game tune from Blankety Blank>
Super Bock run, Super Bock run, Super Bock run . . . Super Bock run
We considered releasing the single in Bulgaria. Guess you had to be there

I lived in Portugal for 6 months and consumed many many bottles of the liquid! It's awesome stuff, will be going to my local 24 hour Tesco later to hunt some down

To bring this up to speed
I did indeed buy a 6 pack (purely for research purposes of course).
Let them cool in the fridge for 24hrs
Absolutely fantastic
Only problem now is to leave it alone so as not to become too accustomed to it.

Paul, not sure I know those names, but I'm not one for wandering so that's not an issue. I certainly do enjoy it here!
In the interests of my duties as a public servant, and as I'd like to keep fellow SNetters informed of special offers, I'd just like to say that I was in the El Corte Ingles (The Spanish Shop) supermarket today, and saw them selling Super Bock six-packs which include another four free, so that's 10 33cl bottles @ €2.30, so 23 cents or about 16p a bottle.
My Italian relatives are here and taking advantage of this, they inform me it's considerably better than Italian beer

Now there's all sorts of oddities - Super Bock Tango (I think raspberry flavour? Groselhas), Super Bock Green...
And so that Diablo doesn't get left out, Pierce Brosnan is advertising Sagres Bohemia.
