MrPin Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I believe (from anecdotal evidence) that decent lager exists but is not easily available in the UK. I'm sure I remember reading something about even CAMRA supporting it. Decent lager does exist. It's generally not made in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpectrumFX Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Do terrible things happen to it on its journey here, like with that chicken from Kentucky. Yes and No.Instead of importing many of these foreign brands we brew them here "under licence". So it's not really what it says on the tin.

Read the tin carefully. The "made under licence" thing annoys me immensely. Best ones arrive in bottles, not tins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thombleached Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Read the tin carefully. The "made under licence" thing annoys me immensely. Best ones arrive in bottles, not tins. Depends which bottle. Flint (clear) bottles cause lightstrike, which is a particularly bad 'off' flavour. It supposedly tastes like the smell a skunk emanates when it's a bit frisky. Most of the population aren't sensitive enough to detect it (me included - I always get it confused with kettle hop). No lightstrike in cans though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
