Lost & Grounded Keller Pils and Donzoko Northern Helles are miles better than a lot of the mass produced lagers and are pretty easy to get hold of.

You do realise lager is beer right?

I know, Real Ale drinkers will be saying you are talking about a drink that should be associated with skunks or mutants. I can't drink Ale though and in my 35 years of drinking have only drank lager. I told myself a couple of years ago that drinking Fosters or Carling was just like drinking recycled pee so I only drink 'Premium' lager. My favorites are:

San Miguel - love it in a bottle or can.
Perroni - again class drink.
Becks - had this once on draught, thought I'd died and gone to heaven, had 6 pints in an hour and half (it was free). Can't remember the journey home (I wasn't driving).
Heineken - realise may not be classed as a 'Premium' but I don't mind it.
Oranjeboom - not often seen in England but a class Dutch drink.
Estrella - had a couple of pints last week, very nice.

Whatever your choice, it's defo not Carlsberg, probably the shitest lager in the world.

How can you leave off Stella Artois the king of lagers followed by Amstel
Strangely enough I had a can of Oranjeboom on Thursday absolutely lush

It'll be one of the German ones. I'm not making the call, can't make the call.

Don't think its the 'best' but Full Circle Brewery do one called Hessen, its a Vienna style lager and absolutely lovely.
 
Carlsberg...probably...

Only ever drink lager on holiday or in Italian or Indian restaurants when I can't get ale or stout.Last I had a few weeks ago were Mythos and Alfa and they are canny in the heat.

LCL was always canny, good carry out with limited cash too. Kronenborg (sp) ok. My lager days were mainly thirty odd years ago so there weren't the Belgian bottles etc that have more taste. I remember Becks arriving on tap at The Traveller's in Cramlington. Soon it was in tiny bottles which cost more per pint and tasted like all of the other gassy lagers but was premium now.

Hilariously, Carlsberg make your #1 on the list. Its almost certainly very similar in method and ingredients.

Corona has almost no taste, you're quite right. Needs the lime to have something about it

Those 2 pretty much invented lager, so you'd imagine they'd be good at it :)

Lost your sense of taste drinking corona

Time ,place ,circumstances
Got my taste early 80s for strong european stuff
Long days ride, find a hotel and that first beer in the nearest bar was devine
Always 5% plus
Bud in a bottle is okay ,Bud in a pint after 5 a side ,another world
Becks in a bottle yuk ,Becks on draught ,little fizz but strong and superb
