The absence of Becks

What about Michelob, that was another very 90's beer - always advertising in the music magazines like Select & Q back iin the early 90's.

Loved Michelob

Do they still sell Holsten Pils

I saw that for the first time in ages in Morrison's. Morrison's isn't somewhere I go into but I had gone in especially to buy some Lord Marples.

Madri is nearly 2 quid dearer than other lagers and beers in one of the boozers I frequent. Why?

Madri has us all hypnotised..

that guy man.. whoat does he mean? what is he doing to us? some sort of hipster magik

 

[Cambsred]

Who decides what is on the pumps? Is it the brewery that drives the agenda and what we drink or is it demand?

I find the take off of madri surprising but it seems to be the premium lager in a lot of places now.

Cruzcampo is becoming the new Madri I think.

looks like a young Sean Dyche

Cruzcampo is becoming the new Madri I think.

Cruzcampo at least is a huge established beer in Spain. Even if what we get in the UK is from Luton/Northampton/Wherever

Madri was bought by the Coors group looking for a premium beer line... hence the rapid take off as they have spent millions on advertising and dealing with pub companies already supplying Coors

Doesn't most lager taste the same? I mean I'm partial to one on a hot summers day and I might be able to tell the difference between a good German/Czech lager compared to the standard supermarket lagers but genuinely don't think I could tell the difference between Becks, Madri, Heineken, San Miguel etc

 

[Wolfgang_Nutsnbolts]

Love this stuff

 

[London_Boro]

Everyone is on the Madri these days, it's everywhere. A slight step up from Fosters IMO.

 

[Stocktonian]

I used to love a Labatt’s!!

It tastes awful in Spain so haven't bothered with it here.

Yes, the same as how most beers taste the same if you're not a beer lover. Though there's always that time that you fancy one.

Cos it is absolutely gipping.

Oh yeah, he was terrifying.

Always reminded me of Abel Xavier.
