Originally posted by chris123 Bud is neither beer or ale in my book, maybe original Czech Budvar is ok, if one is being very generous. Yes I used to drink Bud as a 'Breakfast Beer' when I was drinking. I needed to skull about 6 to stop the DTs then I could handle the Liquor. Best canned beer for me at the time (especially cold) was McEwans Export Pale Ale Pro USA & Israel

Try an imperial stout. Recommend Fullers. £7 a 500ml bottle. 10.7%. Something that will show you how complex and full of flavour a really good beer can be.

Today kicks off the first but I'll play it safe and sample probably the most famous and internationally known aforementioned Budweiser......the tastes I got from this were fizzy, malty and hoppy....quite inoffensive. A 7 out of 10. Now here is a thread with a future. Budweiser isn’t bad in the UK. Mortlake water is way better than its equivalent in the US Similarly Indian Kingfisher when it was brewed by Shepherd and Neame was great and much better than its Indian parent. Less good now Heineken brews it I agree Tsing Tao is very nice and good value. Also Estrella. In Prague I drank draft Budweiser, a really top brew. In bottles Kozel was best. I also lived in a brew pub in Brno which was brilliant. My favourites are bitter. Locally Westerham and Pilgrim (Reigate) are to die for. Young’s was my favourite but it deteriorated, especially after Charles Wells got hold of it. You can’t go wrong with London Pride or Spitfire. Harvey’s is an acquired taste but to me it’s gorgeous Locally to you it has to be Batemans. Really excellent. Further North Jennings, Timothy Taylor’s and Caledonian stand out. To the West Hook Norton is oh so yummy and Wye Valley is brilliant. So that’s tomorrow sorted out. Edited by Mapletree (23 Dec 2018 11.35pm)

Effes if you fancy a Turkish Edited by Badger11 (23 Dec 2018 9.50pm) Cobra was an English design. It has been brewed in a few places including Bangalore but it’s not really an Indian beer. It’s a great marketing exercise.

They are all brewed and bottled here. It wouldn’t pay to ship them in. Burton is one of the biggest plants in UK. it’s all a marketing ploy. Good game, water sugar glass and a bit of alcohol and we all pay £5+ a bottle. Nice.
