Well, it's true. There's more variety in a single type of beer (e.g. lager) than there is in all wine.

Staropramen (Czech)
Turbo Dog (New Orleans)
Negra Modelo (Mexico) - stop copying me VNV!

Dos Equis (Mexico)

They're my vices and easily my faves. Lots of decent local stuff round here too. If I want to get pissed quick it's usually Duvel (expensive) or Singha (expensive). I also tried a speciality Mexican thing which is a mix of a spicy Bloody Mary but with beer in it, lovely.

My football team laughed last week when they all ordered Tennents as it's "Britain's favourite beer" apparently, at which point I let them know it's only amongst tramps and the destitute.

Still, I always liked McEwan's so what do I know....

Developed a taste for modelo negro when I lived in Spain. There was a great mexican restaurant on the street where we lived and eating out was as economical as eating in. I left Spain about 9 years ago (about 7 years before joining this board) so not copying

Christ, it used to be I avoided the stuff like the plague (apart from the pound a pint at uni on Thursday nights) but now that I'm outwith Glasgow, Tennents tastes so much sweeter. It's like that old Tennents advert with "Caledonia" in it every time I drink it.

(Bonus points to anyone that can find a video of the ad online)

Thats lovely, but no it wasnt that. the bar tender kept telling me but i still forgot. I'm now seriously craving it. the first time i tried it i took a normal sip as you would any pint, and then another and another. then i took a couple of gulps. I dont know why it was so deliscous, maybe it was laced with LSD or something, but i gulped it down and went back for another straight away! we went back to that pub every night after that.

well, the town where lager was invented is called pilsen (i think)... might be nice for a holiday (well, i've been to prague, i think pilsen is more industrial)

That's Tennents super. Bog standard Tennents is sold in every pub and corner shop in Scotland. I think it says a lot about the Scots that a Lager that is only widely available in Scotland is one of the most popular in Britain.
