BEER/LAGER CONNOISSEURS
Just tried a very nice Chinese Lager. Its called HARBIN, came in a 600ml bottle, is 4.8% vol and is imported into the EU by Anheuser-Busch. It has a mild yet distinctive taste and certainly hits the spot. Due to our influx of Polish "friends" I`ve been given many types of Polish lager/beer and this got me into trying different brands rather than the usual Stella/Bud. Anyone else tried anything out of the ordinary?

For a real treat try Spitfire from Shepherd neame,Britains oldest brewery,
this is what beer should taste like,after drinking "real" beer you will struggle to put the run"o"the mill stuff to you lips again.
Most of the supermarkets stock what they call speciality ales and beers,give some a try ,you will not be disappointed

Can't do bottled real ale, love the proper stuff though. For a bottled lager (or tap for that matter) "Nastro Azzuro" is the finest by far 
It's a Peroni (Italian) that is superb, as long as you enjoy a "dry" taste

Spitfire is good stuff, but like most real ales it's spoiled by bottling. I've never really worked out why.
We now brew our own, which means a fresh barrel of real ale on tap at all times - it doesn't get much better than that (I must admit to being partial to the odd bottle of Budweiser Budvar, though - not that American stuff brewed with rice).
