The best lager on sale in the UK, suggestions please

[Urban Sports]

I enjoy loads of different types of beer and have never been afraid to try anything new but my tipple of choice has always been lager.

I'm quite bored by the standard brands in my local but a few places in Liverpool have some really good choices with estrella damm being one of the best IMO and then there is always Peroni

What are your favourites?

ETA this doesn't have to be off the pump from a pub, just on sale in the UK.

Yes, forgot about this, without doubt the best pint I ever had, in Spain a couple of years ago, 1 o'clock ish 38 degrees and a pint of this in a frozen glass.

Oh my god.

Is Estrella considered a good lager?

Funny how things travel, when I lived in Spain this was just a normal lager struggling to sell itself against all the other normal lagers. Completely unremarkable.

Peroni is fantastic lager.

I like Estrella Damm, I'm not so keen on some of the others like Lavente as to me they are just local beers, but I think Damm has travelled well and always enjoy a pint, it has strength

Heineken is my "go to" lager.

Peroni or Stella if Heineken isn't available.

I'm not a fan of the 4% stuff apart from Becks Vier.

4% isn't a proper drink IMO but yes if I had to Becks would be the one. I really cannot understand how people go into a pub for a few pints and order carling or carlsberg! Some of my friends do this.

I must admit to becoming a big fan of Brahma. I'm sure it is not one for the purists but it tastes damn fine to me......

I like it but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Sapporo lager is clean and nice too but expensive.

With some inspiration from this thread as I intended I am tucking into one of these right now, it's a decent drink, tastes good with a nice strength!

[Urban Sports]

More inspiration from this thread, I bought myself a 4 pack of EFES, chilled them and had a couple tonight. Very crisp and clean tasting. I've had it before but a while ago.

The main lager I buy for home consumption is Sam Adams Boston Lager. Love the stuff and it has happy memories.

Today I tried a bottle of Peroni Gran Reserva Doppio Malto - absolutely lovely stuff. okgo mentioned it in passing before but it deserves being singled out.

Where can you get it?

I was out in Liverpool last night and everybody seemed to be drinking this



I might give it a try next time, didn't have any last night as I was on cocktails with the Mrs.
