Brewing under licence

[Hammer]

Brewdog don’t make yeastie boys beers anymore, do you still notice that aftertaste?

I didn’t notice it in New Zealand.

On my last trip back from Paris the Eurostar ran out of the French 1664 and switched to the English-brewed cans. Massive difference.

The French gear is stronger like. At the end of the day the English market wants cheap cans so we make our own bed. Nice quality beer is out there if people are prepared to pay for it. I think I read that U.K. alcohol duty is very high too which doesn’t help.

Broon ale was class then they shut the S&N brewery down and moved production over the water to Dunston Fed Brewery, and it was worse, and now it's brewed in Tadcaster its crap.

Honestly if you can't tell the difference between original 5.2%stella and they 4.8 the make now .... . Wow

My point was he couldn’t tell the difference despite saying he could given he was and has been drinking the stuff that is brewed under liscence for ages.

Same. Surely if it’s brewed in the same way using the same products it’s the same beer...

I'm no brewer but the large UK brewers jack of all trades ,masters of non are set up how they want to.
These long standing European brewers will have processes passed down through their history .Give me a recipe and all the ingredients and ill still cook crap

The cans of Mahou I was supping on holiday were absolute nectar
Wops San Miguel
Hardly see San Miguel in Spain now

Extremely odd thing to say.

That said their beer isn’t great but the wine angle is very left field.

Spenk.

Spenk.

Eeeh you must have had a couple of shandies last night.

 

[joemcdokes]

Yeah right!

The minerals in the water used can and does a massive impact on the final product.

They say Guinness is best in Ireland as it doesn’t travel well, but fuck knows if that’s true. It did taste nice there mind, as did Murphy’s, as did Beamish...

The Beamish was class when we played over in Cork pre season, under Keane.

Good owld Roy, even the Beamish knew it had to toe the line

I was drinking it and Murphys in Cork March 2008. Only reason I went to Cork was in homage to Roy, but me and the (now) missus loved it.

I’d vouch for the beamish being great in Ireland also the bulmers on draught is something else and pisses over the stuff here

The water is the big factor as it is the main ingredient.
Burtonisation takes place when making some ales ( adding additional stuff to mimic water from Burton) .
I guess lagers have the same issue too but I don’t know what water they use.
Is Guinness still brewed at Park Royal in London? There was talk a few years ago of moving all production back to Ireland and it was partly because of this.

Lidls own lager called Perlenbacher used to be brewed in Germany ‘under German purity laws’ but I noticed a few months back it’s now made in France. Went to aldi on Saturday and they’ve got a German lager brewed in Munich under the same
Purity laws according to the label.
Germany knows lager so at four quid for 6 I wasn’t disappointed.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Some of the beers on the Sub are still brewed in Europe rather than brewed under license in the UK

You know that the Bulmers over there is what we call Magners over here?

UK Bulmers has nothing to do with either.

My limited experience tells me that Heineken in the UK is awful and Heineken in Amsterdam is lush.
