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. ;) :D
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 :)

Not keen on this,but i do like the OP tipple.

after 25 years on the Lager, I am finding myself drinking bitter/ale much more these days

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

Its different from the norm, but i still like Erdinger, i've ran out in the house & i'm now on Stella ........ the difference is night & day imo

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

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.

Theres a Wetherspoons in the same town as my pub & iirc it doesnt sell it, i think i will mystery shop it tomorrow ;)

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.

Its Erdinger Weißbier, Lager to me!!!!! ;):D

Ah ha and it is £4.80 a pint :o You can get half a crate of the stuff here for that much :D

It is also supposed to be served in half litre glasses not in pints :D

I'm selling it for £3 a 500ml bottle & its doing well.

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

Wholesaler ;)

A mate from work brought me this back from his travels.

Was he working in Aberdeen ?

No but i support them :lol1:

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

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. :(
