If you try it and don't like it then a) you are clearly mad and b) I will PayPal you the purchase price. But only if you send me the rest of the bottle hehe

The best beer, by far, that I have ever tasted was this:



Estrella Inedit. Something like £6 for a 640ml bottle, which came in a cardboard box as if it were a single malt. But my God. A taste sensation.

Only found it once, in Tesco at Earl's Court. I can't even find it in Waitrose near me. Anyone else tried it?
created in collaboration with the brains and chef behind El Bulli, and specifically made to compliment fine dining. Brought some back with me from Barcelona, an acquired taste!

I have a bottle chilling ready for Sunday, it'd better be worth it!

So do I owe you £7 or have your tastebuds died of a broken heart?

One of the nicest lagers I think I've had has been Samuel Smiths. I bought some when I was in Yorkshire, along with a glass, and it was a lovely refreshing lager.

Good beer to like, it's under £2 a pint here and they flog it quite a few places

Dear gents just try this stuff, I can tell you it's the best lager I ever drank in and outside the uk- and I drank a lot of lager. Only problem is you can only order it online in Sussex (Hepworth & Co Brewers).

I had a very nice pint of Andwells Pilsner at the exchequer in Crookham Village on sunday, they also sell a bottled lager which has won numerous awards. The brewery is based near Hook in Hampshire.

Or if anyone can get hold of the standard Alhambra, loved that stuff when I was in Granada last year.
