    New Metrosexual Lagers

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6128008.stm

    Targeted at men who moisturise apparently.

    My initial scorn for such an idea was tempered when I realised that they might be quite useful in some situations - eg when you are already wasted in a club, and just want to maintain things.

    Unfortunately, I suspect the taste will be dismal - normal strength Carling is bad enough, never mind 2% "C2".

    Are you 8 years old? :lol:

    I know one other person like you - he only drinks to get wasted, but there's nothing to beat a cold beer after a hot/hard day imo :love:

    Tasted alot of beers then Alex?

    I dont drink much beer - but theres some amazing ones out there ... Cusquena, Leffe, Duvel, Steigel, Staropramen.

    Its like anything - if all youve had is the dirt quality stuff, you'll tar others with the same brush.

    What a joke :lol:

    I think the reason its big in Australia is because they drink weaker lager through the day then stronger lager at night so they can last drinking all day. It will never take off over here imagine the jip youd get going to the bar and ordering a pint of that :camp:

    Ive tried mixing it with vodka and it didnt taste that nice suprisingly.

    Im not too keen on lager unless its ice cold and out of a bottle, cant drink cans at all they ming. Much prefer cider or snakebite to a normal pint.

    Staropramen in the Cluny: best pint in Newcastle.

    Back to the original point though, I could also see myself having a low alcohol lager at lunchtime - tends to write the afternoon off if I have a real pint :oops:

    Duvel isnt nice but it gets you absolutely trolleyed

    I've gone off Lager since i moved down here, noone knows how to pull a decent pint and the beer isnt very nice

    getting reet Rum-med up is the way forward

    Strong, continental lager is awesome :love:

    I love the taste of the likes of Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, Amstel, Budvar, Cobra, Baltkia etc

    But even weaker versions of lagers that already taste like piss (fosters, Carling, Carlsberg etc) is such a fucking stupid idea.

    As is the increase in shitty beers with a 'twist' of lime

    Urqel is the bad boy - 40p a pint in Prague and it was fantastic.

    Im usually on the Leffe if im on the beers, but 4-5 pints of that on an empty stomach after work is enough to send me down like the titanic.

    Si - aye, duvel is even worse - 8-9% or something insane! Pure Tenants Super territory :lol:

    had all those except cusquena they all ming, the only one i can really manage to drink alot of is corona but it has to have lots of lime.

    Tbh i don't really like the taste of any alcohol, its just a horrible taste, i only drink to get drunk, if they sold any of it without the alcohol in for people to drink day to day, oi would just drink pop its well nicer
