That's something that now seems to have disappeared from the standard lager market - even Becks Vier doesn't really seem to have it.<br /><br />Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-8204763509618635842013-05-09T14:35:26.033+01:002013-05-09T14:35:26.033+01:00I definitely agree with you that Carling is the be...I definitely agree with you that Carling is the better of three followed by Fosters.

Not that cold dulls the grog, as some beards might say. Like red or white wine, the former is better at room temp, the latter chilled. A dash of lime cordial and on a hot day after a bit of effort in the garden it slip down in one and not even touches the sides. Cooking lager is a beautiful thing but suffers a lack of respect among beer geeks. It is time for cooking lager to be an established and recognised beer style like craft beer and afforded appreciation and respect.<br /><br />Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-32225863176473617732013-05-09T13:00:51.691+01:002013-05-09T13:00:51.691+01:00I reckon a pint of 'standard' lager is alm...I reckon a pint of 'standard' lager is almost certainly better for your health than a pint of coca cola.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393611989380622061noreply@blogger.com
