Draught: Caledonian Deuchars IPA is my regular safe choice, but two recent stand-out guest beers at my local Wetherspoon's were Sadler's Hopbomb and Firestone Walker American Independence Pale Ale.
I much prefer light, hoppy beers to dark, malty beers and I'd rather drink cola than lager..
Well that is Lager and I have no idea what the difference between it and beer is?
Anyone care to explain?
Lager is a type of beer. Beer covers lagers, bitters, ales, stouts, porters, wheat beers, fruit beers etc etc.
In terms of lager I prefer Becks. Really into Pale Ales at the moment though some of our local breweries do some nice stuff. Brampton Golden Bud, Thornbridge Kipling and Thornbridge Jaipur are some of my current favourites.
Had a really interesting beer a few weeks ago. Grafton Framboise it was called. It wasn't a fruit beer, it was a Pale Ale, just looked like a regular pint but it had a really strong raspberry taste.
I love beer. so much variety and different tastes and flavours. I've got an app on my phone called UnTappd which has a massive constantly updating database of beers. When you have one you tag it and rate it. It's quite addictive. I've tried just over 60 different beers in the last two and a half months.

Lager is a style of beer, however it is brewed slightly different to bitter and so it isn't the same as bitter, ales, stouts, porters, etc, which are all more or less brewed using the same process.
Ale, bitter, porter, stout, lager etc are all still beers.
I don't drink beer.but
Talking of stout, my Mum often mentions her favourite drink when she was a teen in the mid to late 1960s seems it vanished years ago .. She says it was called Cream Label if there was such a drink and she never dreamt it? I would have liked to have tried it, Mum says I would love it
What have I missed

They're all still types/styles of beer. I'm not sure what you're correcting me on here, I'm aware that they're brewed differently but he didn't ask that, he asked what the difference between lager and beer was to which the answer is that lager is a type of beer.

I wasn't "correcting" anything you said as there is nothing to correct, I was simply expanding your answer to provide additional information on what the differences in style were.

been drinking San Miguel Fresca a lot recently, wouldnt say its my favourite but it is a nice taste.
True but not that practical to have a cask in your house.
It is a beer, it is just made with wheat+spices instead of barley+hops.

Thank you lovely person
Did you try any of the Croatian dark lagers? As a real ale fan they were much more to my taste!

Anyone heard of Cream Label ?

Apologies, I thought you were saying what I'd put was wrong.
