Default Erdinger Lager

A friend introduced me to this a couple of weeks ago, i must say its now my favourite lager .. really nice & no bitter to it at all.
The club we were in had it on Draught @ £4.80 a pint, i have managed to trace 500ml bottles of it & a few wannabee's in my pub have started drinking it as well.
Anyone tried it ?

Tried it in Germany, and they sell it in Tescos and Sainburys for about 1.59 each.

...so hardly a secret Weissbier

Still, yes I've tried it, and I'd not want more than 4 in any sitting.

I enjoy drinking it & its better than Leffe. Trying to get wholesales to get it at a decent price is hard.

Hoegaarden for me ...



Wierdly cheaper if you buy 4 * 330ml (around £4) than the 750ml bottles (£2.50 on offer).

Still expensive, although I thankfully just came home from a work-trip to France via Eurotunnel and they had a special offer of buy 2 get 1 free on the 12 * 250ml bottles. Amazing how much fits in the back of a Focus ST

I can't drink cloudy stuff. It makes me want to barf - psychological I know, but in my head beer should be clear.

I like the taste of Hoegaarden but can't drink more than a couple without feeling a bit bloated/full.

These days I'm drinking less and less beer and go straight for the hard stuff!

Bloody hell.... Something we agree on !!

I do still enjoy a lager as a first beer freshener now and again,but loving the ale nowadays.
Oh and the 750cl Leffe blonde are a nice drink,as are Henry Westons vintage reserve cider









Or when the summertime comes,a sit in the rear garden and take in a nice beer and a good view!!!

Crabbies is my tipple of choice at the moment, with a slice of lemon, or sometimes lime.

It's probably the only reason to go in to Wetherspoons. £2.35 for a 500ml bottle.

I used to like German draught stuff. The light beer was best to me.

Like Erdinger - it's a bit different.

Fave beer is Caledonian IPA though.

I have that on draught at the moment. Sells more with the daytime crew than it does with evening punters.

Erdinger lager????

We have Erdinger Weißbier here and Erdinger Kristallweizen but not heard of Erdinger Lager. It must be specific for export to the lager drinkers of England.

I drink Hefe Weizen here and it is an aquired taste I must admit and it gives me some seriously trippy dreams.

You're selling it for 3 quid a bottle! So where are you getting it from then?

Went for a meal at Cameron House last night and i tried as the waiter said a "local" lager....

http://www.scottishfood.com/i/Schieh...aviestoun.html

Must say, i was really impressed with it. Didn't have a bad after-taste compared to some.....not sure it was worth £5.95 a pint though.
