Re: Beer

A much better offering than previously in my opinion, but let’s be honest the amount of 12:30 kick offs will reduce the potential increase in sales. The closer to the season I get, the less I’m looking forward to it due to these early KO’s.

It's a marketing success in masquerading as Spanish.

Allegedly, Madri is the original stronger carling black label recipe. Carling recently was brewed to 3.7% and advertised as 4%.

Interestingly South African carling black label is 5.5%.

I believe most British lagers are weaker than you get abroad.
This started in the "package tour boom" of the 60s/70s. You could rarely get lager in the UK (thankfully!) but brits abroad lapped it up and wanted it when they came back, but it was watered down.
This, in turn, led to the demise of real beer and the emergence of keg beer, including the vile Watneys Red Barrel, which was so bad it led to the formation of CAMRA.

I can see my go to beer Staropramen at 5%, not being available to the masses in the Canton and Ninian.

Re: Beer

I got a free pint of Madri in the harvester down the bay yesterday, thought it was a pretty crisp pint, it certainly won't be replacing Corona or Desperados as my bottle of choice, though have been enjoying thatchers blood orange in the hot weather, a pint with a few ice cubes, lovely stuff

Re: Beer

I'm off the booze at the moment (so will miss a Staropramen if they have it in the Canton/Ninian corner on Saturday).

Staropramen one of the best 5% beers out there.

But I was in the pub tonight and had two pints of Guinness 0.0

I couldn't tell that it wasn't 'real' beer. Really impressed.
