I have moved away from lager generally as I think the IPA you can find in most London pubs now is so good that I don't have to go for mainstream lager.
However, at a push, Peroni, Camden Hells Lager, London Lager from Meantime.
Good lad! I brewed at Camden for two years when it first opened. I'm now at Meantime.However, at a push, Peroni, Camden Hells Lager, London Lager from Meantime.
Glad you enjoy!/@
I tend to drink ale more than lager but on a hot summers day you can't beat :
It envokes memories of sitting on a Cretan beach with the family eating freshly made Spanakopita and sipping my ice cold Mythos in a frozen glass - so I can't guarantee the same impact for others
Give it a whirl though. 4x500ml for £6 in Tescos.

A good lager is made by a beer making company.
Hence Fullers K2 from the 1980's was an excellent lager. You could tell it was about taste rather than alcohol content, as you would expect from an English brewing company not normally associated with lager
You can even still buy it on ebay

Empty, what ! Noooooo
If I remember rightly they sponsered a UK expedition one year to K2, hence the name. I used to drink it in Barnet North London, just opposite the football ground after a 250 mile trip to see my future wife for the weekend. Ice cold lager followed by red hot sex.
Sadly the K2 and the hot sex is now just an ancient memory.

Disappointingly pistonhead lager tastes like any generic lager
My usual choice for stocking the fridge at home would be Keo (Tescos), or Kona Big Wave/Longboard (lucky enough to have a very good wine/beer specialist nearby).
If I'm ever in the pub, it would have to be Kirin or Staropramen, although ended up drinking Zywiec for the first time in a few years on Friday after a few pints of Staropramen, all went down pretty well..

Give Lech a try, at 5.2% ABV its slightly weaker than Zywiec but its lovely stuff. Poland produces some fantastic beer and lager MonkeyMatt said:

Cant beat a nice cold Fosters or a Desperado's
The thread asked for best not worse!I generally go for a Stella or a Becks on draught, or a Meantime Pilsner when in London.

Perla in the green and white cans or with the green and white label on the bottle is my favourite Polish lager. There's a Lithuanian one with a blue can but I can't remember the name of it, also very nice.okgo said:

Ha, I'm working on it. It is probably my favourite of our range.
Yes, I very nearly applied to work at Meantime as I saw they had some business developement/sales role, I love that stuff, reckon I'd flog it into pubs EASY
