lapal_fan Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I saw a guy carry on a normal (non-folding) bike and 2 25kg bags on a Waterloo underground train on Tuesday. I still don't understand how he did anything with it all once he got off the train.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal told me it's made by Carling and basically the old Carling recipe. THis is just the latest "premium lager" that'll be the cool thing to drink until it gets popular. Used to be Peroni, then that got popular, then it was Moretti, that got popular. Now it's Madri I drink them so I can't really complain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly sprung up from out of nowhere. Guinness do a coffee beer now, I've wondered if it's any good but don't want to waste money getting a pack of 4 if it tastes minging. Lidl have got Budvar Dark on at the mo, now that's right up my alley. Edited October 19, 2023 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Madri as replacing San Miguel which really replaced Stella and kronenberg which were the step up from carlsberg, fosters and carling Not sure I'd put it in the posh category, my old local replaced peroni with camden Edited October 19, 2023 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have been available for a while now in a few of the pubs round Cheshire I visit, and yes both just popped up out of nowhere. Is it a case of retiring one shite beer and relaunching it a year or so later with a slight tweak in the recipe but under a different name?

You really can't beat a bottle of Stella on Christmas day, which ironically is what you'll be doing later when you get a bit aggressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I quite like the Cruzcampo Had a lovely pint of it in Seville on a glorious day so there's a good chance there's a bit of the proustian positive association with the drink whenever I've had it. Or maybe it's one of those beers that's nice locally but shite when it travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Googled it and Cruzcampo is brewed by Heineken so you're probably right. They bought it off Guinness, funnily enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm Estrella Galicia is a genuine Spanish beer though. Had it out there in 2018. I first noticed it in the UK last year and now it's everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
