oh yes

Brakspear, good choice!

if the Scrumpy the OP mentions is the proper British grown and produced article rather than the fuzzy syrup concentrate stuff often palmed off as Cider, than all good
and as for that poor excuse of an historical beer style called lager (german for storage, like the english word larder, proper Lager beer is stored for up to 3 months or over before being served) we get over here that is produced in a chemical factory in under a week , well....

I seem to be going through a Pear Cider stage at the moment, and sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Other than that, bitter. Proper stuff or smoothflow. Anything will do. Can't be doing with lager anymore, totally tasteless.

Granted, the generic "lagers" in this country are tasteless fizz, but there is good stuff out there as long as it's been properly lagered / krausened

Either for me - or real ale if it's available.

Quite enjoying pear cider at the moment, and some stuff called Green Goblin that's been on offer on the supermarkets recently smile

I'll retract that. You can find a good lager if you look, but as a generalisation I tend to find lager tastes like overly fizzy beer flavoured water. I don't really enjoy it, not like I do a heavy beer/ale that has kick and flavour. I also struggle to do more than 4 or 5 pints of lager without feeling bloated, whereas 10 pints of Guinness can disappear without any trouble.
