Spanish beer

[klaatu]

Quite a lot of it is a bit crap, in my opinion, but this stuff isn’t at all bad.

You cannot beat a cold pint of Estrella

 

[Yorick]

I'm supping Tropical right now. It's a Canarian brew and very nice


And they're all OK, if properly chilled

[Chris]

I don’t think I have tried that one.

It’s now on my list

Not tried Dorada either but I will now

I thought Dorada was a fish, but may give it a try if I see it. I’m afraid that the ubiquitous Cruzcampo is one I class as “piss”, if I’m allowed to say that.

My local happens to be owned by my best pal. They sell Cruzcampo and took me a while to appreciate it. But at €1.50, I persevered

And it's about 5.6%

That's from the Canaries not mainland Spain I have a glass in my bar at home from the mid Nineties, it's a Standard 500ml Jara

From what I remember it wasn't to bad a beer but quite light it used to be 3%

 

[Solwaybuggier]

Depends what you want - there’s quite a lot of Spanish craft beers now, some just “badge-engineered” stuff from the big breweries, but quite a few that at least appear to be small-scale local set-ups. Loads of IPAs, etc. Maybe not the stuff for when it’s hot, mind.

I am in the Canaries

And it's 4.7%, the main reason I buy it. The weakest of the crop.

Thats always my concern about traveling around the world....whats the beer gonna be like?
Story Time:
We went to Mexico a few years back, lovely 5 star hotel, fantastic food, but the beer, the one and only beer available was bottled or draught Corona, it was so thin & weak, you could drink it all day and not feel you had any.
Been there over a week, walked toward one of the beach bars, the bartender knew me by then and so he started pulling me a pint of Corona, I said and a large Tequila also please, which he then poured in a separate glass, having taken a gulp of Corona weak P#ss I then proceeded to pour the Large Tiquila into the pint of Corona, to which the bartender called No NO, I said Yes Yes its the only way to get some kick into of this P#ssy beer.

I could not wait to get home and have a decent beer, its the same in the states, weak P#ssy beers like Green Beers & Bud light etc, if they had a real beer it would knock em over!

Dont mind a San Miguel in Spain, large bottles I remember were 1.0 EU a pint, bet they cost more nowadays, even at the supermarket.

I noticed recently that San Miguel is 5.4% in bottles, but only 5.0% in cans.

Obviously the cans are for the southern softies

 

[TinaLes]

Only do the Large Bottles of San Miguel, hoping of course that they are the real Spanish ones, and suspecting that the cans are brewed in Northampton I might be being a touch Naive I know, but I will ask Santa when he comes, he will know
And Yorick your more saaf than me

[Mr B]

Thought this was nice, 5.5% ?

Can also get 5.4 in cans in some shops.

Mercadona do a very acceptable, to us, beer at 65c/litre, Steinburg 4.8%

Draught beers I prefer Mahou green when available, not keen on Cruzcampo.

In Portugal Aldi do a nice Belgian beer, Schulten Brau, 99c/litre 4.7%. In bars always drink 33cl bottles of either Sagres or Super Bock, available in most bars for the same price as an imperial draught at 20 cl, cheapest this year 90c but more normally €1 to €1.20 in the type of bars that I frequent

Just seen you're in Camberley. I used to work there at Travelex. Worst company in the world.

Last time in Fuengirola became partial this.

 

[klaatu]

I appear to be out of beer, not sure how that happened, and the bar on the site here is closed on Tuesdays. So I’m off to Consum on my bike to see what they have.

About 1,20€/litre Estrella in Mercadona

You cannot beat a cold pint of Estrella

You can beat it with a pint of Abbot Ale, all of the Eurofizz seems to taste the same. Sadly after a few weeks I run out of proper beer and have to start drinking eurofizz and the Estrella is one of the better fizzes.

There’s no such thing as bad beer, just overpriced English beer?

English Ale,It may be expensive but it has the flavour, but if you think it's expensive try Norway

I have issues with French beer...
