As it's Oktoberfest season I got myself a classic Paulaner Oktoberfest beer. Not bad. Malty, nice colour. I'll try and grab a few more from different breweries whilst they're available.

If you want a more unusual German beer give Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock a go, it's a smoked beer and it really really nice.

Just the headline was enough to boil my piss, but strawberry float sakes. We get people who normally drink crap and get them to try specialised beers and give their "opinions"....

Well it is The Sun....

Some of those prices are pretty horrendous though. Though I didn't see the measurements and don't want to click on the link again.

I'd say the most expensive beers I've had in Hamburg are I think 7 euros for 40cl, which I think is quite steep, considering it was a local beer, in their own bar. Buddelship if you're interested.
I'm moving back to London for a few months soon, so am a bit scared how expensive beer has gotten in the 4 years I've been away :dread:

Oh, I'll give that German beer a go. They have it stocked in a nice shop nearby. I don't think I've seen it in the supermarkets, but I may have just missed it as all the beers labels look pretty identical at times.
One of my favourites here is Schneider Weiss Tap6 - Mein Aventinus.

It depends on what goes into it, the beers in that article will cost a lot to make. None of the prices seems that offensive to me, they were all can and bottle so would be 500ml or 330ml.

The Great British Craft Beer Festival at Lidl this weekend: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?id=818&week=1

Some interesting packaging, if nothing else.

Only 3 or 4 of those are craft beer, the rest are just ales.

Wuntu were offering a free six-pack of lager at Majestic Wines stores yesterday, which turned out to be something called King of Hops. I've never liked Lager, but hey, it was free, and you never know when you might find one you like.

I did not find one I like.

:lol: there are some good ones out their but they are a bastard to find.

Brewgooder lager isn't bad, very light in flavour and crisp, you can get it in asda etc and part of the money goes to making wells in Africa.

Picked up a 2l fresh brew of sound wave from Siren craft brew shop, very nice stuff and well priced at £12.20 for 2l.

The offer I used expired yesterday. It was supposed to be for a six-pack of some IPA I don't remember the name of, Curious IPA maybe? But the guy behind the counter gave me something else. Not that I cared enough to point it out, it was free after all.

One of the best places to try unusual beers is Belgium, there's over 1000 different variations brewed there, i'm rather partial to some of the fruit varieties such as this...

It was sorta inbetween both of those types, very fruity and very pleasant, i highly recommend it.

There's also a mango version.

I think I have had the mango one. I love a fruit beer especially a fruit sour.
