What's your experience with them? I'm more a vodka or spiced rum man personally but I enjoy an lager in the summer etc, this Russian number was nice, quite sweet tasting:

I like the genuine foreign lagers (not the stuff thats made in the UK using a brand name - next time you are in the supermarket check out where the "authentic" Indian Kingfisher lager is brewed..... They tend to be a bit sweeter than UK stuff. UK brewed lagers also have too much CO2 pumped into them, and can be a couple of percentage ABV points weaker than the genuine equivalents.

When Im abroad I always drink the local stuff - and if I can find a dark lager Im a happy chap. Ive found gorgeous dark lagers in Slovenia, Montenegro, Copenhagen, Bertesgaden & Prague

I travel to Belgium most years and will drink the Chimay monastery beer by default and will drink lager if I am in a foreign bar with nothing else (Czech Republic for example)

In France however there is the option of Pelforth Brune in most places so I choose that.

Wheat beer is OK in small doses.

When abroad, I find out what the locals drink, and then do the same - usually better than the imported stuff and cheaper.

I know mate, always check they are genuinely imported, that Russian one was from St Petersburg after that I tried that Bavarian, sweet and very easy drinking, no bitterness that I don't like, at a christening just now and drinking the local p*ss that is Tenants, its actually not that bad draught and served cold.

I don't like the idea of a mint flavored drink, to me it would be like drinking mouthwash

sonnetpete · Feb 19, 2017

Not Bishops Finger after all...

Ah yes, from the late great Dave Allen, followed up with "No wonder they carry him around in a chair."

And, purely by coincidence mind, I fould our local corner shop now sells Oranjeboom in a can.

It used to be a lager sufficiently different that I would order one whenever I was in Amsterdam, but so few bars sell the stuff these days

( I also delivered the final artwork/video for the brand when I was a despatch rider in the mid 80's).

This particular red/black can is a 7.5% so not like the draught version for potency, is labelled 'imported medium/1761' on the side, but it does not say where it is brewed.

Will report back later, once dinner has been consumed.

Yes, but many of them aren't 'strictly' lagers, are they.

Ghostleader · Feb 21, 2017

This the bad boy? Here:

Close, the one I have is 7.5% on the side.
