Tsingtao, Cobra, Peroni, Kirin…some of people’s “favourite beers”. Thing is, read the labels…many are “brewed in the UK under license” and so, whether you like it of not, or however you try to dress it up clubber, they’re all just exercises in marketing. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with drinking lager, but don’t try dressing it up too much. Most of them are pish and if you took them out of a bottle and into a glass without the adverts and labels, most of us would struggle to tell the difference.
All that said, sometimes, there’s nothing to beat a cool crisp lager on a hot day. And the lightweights amongst us are pleased with the advent of the four percenters like Becks Vier, Grolsch Blonde etc.
Curry houses could stock some nice bottled IPA if they wanted to give a different option to lagers.
