Strangely though good in a bottle.

Can be ropey in a can, but I once enjoyed a draught Stella.... granted I was in Belgium at the time. Sint Niklaas I think, and as I remember i had quite a few.
Then I tried summat else, Jupiler. Absolutely lovely. Didn’t take another Stella whilst there and brought home 4 yellow cratefuls of jupiler.

A pocketful of cash means only one thing to me....find nastro azzuro. Untouchable.

As for biscuits, Lotus. The best part of the evening when eating out.

I’m not normally a fan of San Miguel but last year I had two or three in Manchester airport, served in a plastic cup. It was brilliant. Tasted so good. Had one since in Boot though and it was awful.

Fair play. I cant enjoy any drink in a plastic pot. If its last resort / festival etc I will drink it. but enjoying its a bit far.

The bottle of Stella with the paper cap when ice cold is a great beer when the weather is hot

Carlsberg is indeed a shocker... sooner not drink at all than drink what is probably the worst lager in the world. (See what I did with that? I swapped it around for much comedic effect)

Lotus are also Belgian I think. There's another Belgian biscuit made of the similar stuff called Koek Bastogne

Rarely drink lager but came back from a 4 hour walk on one of the Greek islands a few years ago, and the Barman presented me with a frosted glass out of the freezer, and proceded to pour an ice-cold bottle of Mythos in front of me .....
I felt like John Mills in the final scene of " Ice cold in Alex " ...... never tasted a better lager in all my days !! :D :D

I'm feeling rather parched all of a sudden. Liquid refreshment imminent...
