"Fake" beers.

[Lord Alfred]

As in supermarket own brands. Anyone like any of them? I quite like the St Etienne lager that Aldi do. Tastes like a proper French beer, which tbf it probably is. Anyone know who brews it....i have a vague recollection of tasting something similar in the Brittany area.

They do a really nice German one too. Rheinbacher I think it's called.

Asda Pilsner in the silver cans is decent

 

[Big Sharp Teeth]

I think the trick is finding out which brewery do them, and if it’s a canny brewery the chances are it’ll be a canny beer.

Seem to remember M&S had an own brand Belgian beer that was brewed by the same brewery who do Delerium Tremens. They even stuck a pink elephant on the label as a clue.

Sainsburys Czech is good

Steinhauser? Lovely tipple

Steinhauser is their version of becks... Rheinbacher is another pils they sell in both bottles & cans...

I like St Etienne and Steinhauser from Aldi and Perlenbacher from Lidl. Much prefer them to the cheap branded lagers anyway. The bottles of ipa and stuff for a quid are fine as well.

That is surprisingly nice.

Sainsbury's do a 4.8% French lager in stubbies which is also good but I can't remember the name of it.

I agree, this is nice. I’ve been drinking the small tins of ‘The 1079 Project’ which is great. £2.49 for 4 330ml cans.

I tried this too. Good value for money.

Proper beer.

Maybe I'm being nostalgic . Cant beat sitting outside of a French bar doing a bit of people watching.

So it's shite then

Brewed over here now, isn't it?

All brewed under license I think, it's shite here never mind abroad.

I was thinking the reverse....they don't taste quite the same when brewed in a different country, although a relative of mine who runs a micro brewery in one of his pubs reckons you can make them all but identical wherever they're brewed.
