California vintners in the Napa Valley area, which primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night. The new wine will be marketed as... PINO MORE |

I'm not a Stella fan. A bit too sweet.
Lagers i'd go for, if on offer are Coors, Miller and a Polish one called Tyskie. All decent lager, slightly better than Carling/Fosters if a little more expensive. Unfortunately it's usually only Carling/Fosters that get the good offers, unless you stoop to buying Carlsberg

If you want strong, try some Leffe. Most supermarkets stock it these days.
Hoegarden is always good, as is Kronenburg Blanc (if you like wheat beers). Not sure how anyone can diss Stella and then recommend muck like Miller (second only to Bud in the "fizzy, watery, amercan crap lager" stakes) and, to a lesser extent, Fosters! San Miguel has been the lager of choice in our household recently. |

Please retitle this thread by removing 'beer' and inserting 'lager'.
There are many fine real beers out there, often depends on how they are kept though. Makes the hunt more fun. |

Duvel or Chimay but of the two I prefer Duvel - it tastes amazing, is strong and although pricier than lager, a much better deal. It's an ale as opposed to a lager I think? It's 8.5% proof either way!
And if you want a good tasting clean and fresh bottled lager you can't go wrong with Nastro Azzurro. |

They do Leffe Blond, Leffe Brun and Leffe Rouge (?), I think Brun is the strongest - and my fave!! Bars that sell Leffee only sell it in half pints as it's bloody expensive and bloody strong (but bloody delish!!) |

Innis & Gunn beer is fantastic, it's matured in malt whisky casks for 60 days which gives it a great taste...and it's pretty powerful stuff too.
![]() My local Asda usually has it in the 3 for £4 offer... |

Budweiser Budvar
Duvel Belhaven Twisted Thistle Belhaven St Andrews Ale Caledonian 80 / Deuchars IPA Fullers ESB Tanglefoot Brains SA Westmalle Tripel Westmalle Dubbel Orval Avoid fake Oriental brews brewed under licence in the UK (Asahi, Sapporo). If you must drink Tiger buy the small bottles as the big ones are brewed in China and taste crap. Also avoid mass produced AB/InBev rubbish (Leffe, Hoegaarden etc.). The last 3 beers on the list are fantastic, genuine Belgian Trappist ales which are available at some supermarkets and quality beer shops/delis. These should be served in the correct glass however to be appreciated at their best. |

Czech pilsner lager.
Tesco's own brand Vratislav brewed in C. Republic very good and cheap. or Boheme 1795 also in Tesco's Also I hardly ever drink canned beer it's usually naff. Bottled beer keeps better. Try the Oxford Bottled Beer database for lot of reviews and recommendations. If you can find it in the UK, a bottle of Keo is always welcome. |

I really like Cobra beer, really smooth tasting and probably the best ive ever tasted. Kronenberg is good too as well as Grolsh, Heineken etc.
Its a little bit more expensive than most bottles of beer though(close to 1 pound a bottle if your buying in bulk) |

Real Ale....... That's the way to go.....
Seriously, there's a vast choice and it's a heck of a change from your common lager. Ok I have the occasional lager based 'beers' but my choice is ale, in particular porters or stout. And when I say stout I don't mean Guinness. Have yourself a look at the Camra website. http://www.camra.org.uk/ There's always the real ciders too. But They can be dangerous..... lol..... You can easily get something which is around 10% or more...... Very nice, but not too many. |
