Can't afford those prices sadly
@@kw2142 my mate @craftbeerbasic says "drink less, but drink better". Drink what you enjoy and can afford.
maybe get a time machine, a new hobby or stop moaning...
Iiiiit's Beer O'clock!
Donzoko were brewing at Newbarns in Leith but have now got their own place in Newcastle area. Newbarns tap-room well worth a visit if you're in Edinburgh, plus there's Campervan & Moonwake taprooms nearby
Do people in these comments not drink craft beer? In my personal experience a range from £5-10 a can is what you’d expect from ‘better than supermarket’ beer. Their smaller more independent harder working breweries and thus have more expensive beer. My local craft beer shop has pretty much a minimum cost of about £4/4.50 ranging up to over £10.
For beer behind supermarket and beyond ‘affordable’ it’s normal
Explain how you can pick up a pint of real ale from as little as £3 - £4 seved in a pub? (£1.97 in my local Spoons too but we can ignore that as an outlier).
Going to drink the Pacific Ale from the hard-working, independent Störtebeker brewery for 1£/500ml later this evening. But go enjoy your 8£ craft beer, mate!
@@ElBauldo64 The real ales I see in pubs aren’t as up market as the majority of beers sold in say craft beer bottle shops. I guess you could class real ale as craft beer. I’m just saying I saw some people explaining about the prices of these being too high but that’s why supermarket beer is a thing so that it makes some beer more affordable. I definitely can’t go to a bottle shop weekly and spend over £5 a can nor can the majority of people but it’s often better than the cheap stuff.
@@kosmosfaber6534 you can enjoy whatever you want. I’m surprised by people’s comments on the prices, everything is overpriced these days, beers included. However it’s nice to splash out on an expensive beer now and then.
@@ElBauldo64 Wow a big question. Why is cask ale cheap? Its under-valued. Publicans won't pay over around £70 a cask. So cheap beer is then made to appeal to that market Something like Landlord is very expensive probably £160-200 a cask these days. Cheap cask ale is made by cutting corners. Cheap ingrediants, low levels of hops. Add on to that how badly paid staff are. Thats how you get a cheap pint.
Good review Simon but 14:47 - £56 for 8 lagers and 2 IPA is too expensive for me.
I'm sure these are good beers but sadly compared to European brewed beers for both price and quality, these don't stand a chance.
But as a channel Simon has reviewed all those traditional beers. Gotta give the lad the chance to make new content?
@@SlippersAreOn these are being brewed on a much smaller scale than most German or Czech lagers you’ll get over here, the price is reflective of that and the amount of time they take to make.
The quality is well and truly there
@@HopZine never lol ,he,s already half german due to the amount of beer he,s drank lol 😂🤣
Of course they stand a chance, theirs a big enough market out there for the hardcore craft beer heads who will happily pay these prices for the difference in quality. They're made on a much smaller scale and the ingredients used are of a far far superior quality. You've only got to look at the liquid coming out of the cans/bottles in this video to realise the gulf in quality to the lagers you get in Asda/Tesco. These breweries know there lane and stick to it to protect their identity. You get the odd ones that sell out like Tiny Rebel and Northern Monk but their beer and fandom suffer greatly for it. They do offer an introduction to other craft breweries though which is a good thing. I drink DIPA's from some of the UK's finest breweries in that style, paying £8+ a can for that pleasure is fine. They're made to be enjoyed, not to get smashed on. You will obviously get smashed on them regardless. My only problem with these beers is.. I struggle to go back to shitty supermarket beer, and sometimes I just want a quick, easy couple of cans from the supermarket and after trying these craft beers they just don't do the job for me anymore.
@@unrivaledWF well said
Samuel Smiths organic Lager is up there as one of the best I've had. It's fantastic.🤤
I prefer the shorter vids. The battle vids and the brewery/town tour vids, to be honest. Go to Sheffield. It used to be a fantastic beer town in the early 2000s.
Their prices are extortionate ranging from £5-10 a can. I think the majority of us will be avoiding 'The Fuss Club'
None of these beers are that much? Even for a good British brewed lager you won't pay that much. Those prices are for Double IPAs and imperial stouts. These are expensive beers to make. Ingredients are expensive and the more you use, the more expensive they will be.
Couldn't agree more
Most of the beers in my local craft beer shop are priced like this. If you want cheap beer, go to the supermarket.
@@igotes Who's suggesting anything about cheap beer ,duval £2-60p a bottle you regard that as cheap beers do you ? Belgian beers are the best beers you can get the point being made is why anyone would want to pay £3 more for a can of shit
Great video. A few others you should try Juno Original Bohemian Pilsner (Twice Brewed)
Adder Lager (Allendale)
Kopec (Cheviot)
I’m sure all mash gang beers are 0.5%
Utopian, Lost & grounded, Braybrooke all brew excellent lager styles
I enjoyed the vid but you're missed Lost and Grounded, Utopian and Braybrooke. Easily the 3 best british lager breweries.
Fabulous excuse to drink 10 beers I guess lol. My liver aches whenever I watch these videos
If I opened ten lagers that quality, I couldn't bear to pour them away....the rest of the day would be a write off though!
There are some amazing lagers been brewed by small breweries all over the UK. One thing people might miss, lager is expensive to make. It sits in tanks for a lot longer than ale. If you are conditioning the lager for 3 weeks thats tying the tanks up for the time when they could have turned around 2-3 ales. Making lager for a small producer is a real commitment to making it good and making it right.
@@HopZine what are your top 10 Rob?
Great points here Rob
Utopian Lager is superb, from the guys in Crediton, Devon, not cheap but in my opinion worth every penny. The best English Lager I've tasted so far.
Nice to see you went out of the supermarket for a change, keep it going and actually buy from the multitude of brewers directly with all the sales, discounts vouchers, free delivery offers, and points schemes they have now over the year.
Or if that doesn't work try the local bottle shop or venues who sell cans and stop pretending it still 2019/20 in terms of how much they should be charging for their good to very good produce that as the video says..... You can't GET in the Supermarkets!
British lager, where’s Utopian?
Great video, but ludicrously expensive. I find it's the delivery charge that kills the deal most of the time.
They look cheap price for the beers
Simon, good work but beers are really overpriced for most consumers especially for lagers which are always heavily discounted in supermarkets.
Sounds like you love a similar beer to me then. Have you tried the Hertog Jan Grand pilsner? It's a lovely drop.
Hertog Jan Grand pilsner is a InBev marketing product. Tastes almost the same as regular Hertog Jan Pilsner. In my opinion Grand Pilsner is way too expensive for what you get.
Grand pilsner is nothing like ordinary HJ , in my VERY humble opinion . Totally different gravy .
@@bizzclub8622 Hahaha. It's 18 PENCE per pint more "expensive" 😂 Tastes very different. But each to their own.
@@danmc17 On the internet you can find reviews and comparisons of these pilsners. I am from the Netherlands and compare the prices based on Dutch supermarkets. If you like Grand Pilsner you should keep drinking it. Nothing wrong with this product.
10 beers in the morning?? Ohh man!!! That's what i call a real tasting!
Most of it went down the sink.
Donzoko - started off in Hartlepool moved up to Leith then now down to Ouseburn Newcastle, possibly another location wedged between those moves too.
I went to the tap last weekend. It was fantastic.
Donzoko brewed actually for a while at Newbarns and are now back in England as far as I know. In Leith there are several breweries like Pilot, Campervan and Moonwake. Quite decent stuff …
Please do a side by side with BRAYBROOKE BEERS (Market Harborough) they basically specialise in German Style Beers. The Website is really good 🍺🍺
I had a look too, I will order soon but their Pilsner was out of stock yesterday
This was a fantastic overview!
Love these beer reviews! One thing I’m always curious about is do you drink all the beers after the video? Would be a shame to waste them all!? 🍺😂
Yes absolutely, these were great and not to be wasted.
It's liver'o'clock
That time already! I thought it was kidney oclock.
Guys you're just jelaous, Si is living the dream.
He's Livering the dream....@@sandrobriski3380
You are jealous and it’s called beer o clock
@@louisbeerreviews8964 you re a Man Shitty fan. Please be quiet
Prices are ridiculous
Price is relative. If you pay £3.25 for a beer from the supermarket and its horrible. You pour it down the sink. You pay £4.50 for a British brewed beer, pay £4,50 from a small independent retailer and you love it. Which is better value?
@@HopZine I can get four Duval from Morrisons for about £7 ( four for the price of three ) or Chouffe which do you think is the best ? I certainly wouldn't be paying a £5 for a can of beer that's for sure
Don’t think so
@@lliambunter no one is forcing you to. A lot of people are happy to pay it
@@HopZine In my local Asda, I buy 5 franziskaners for the price of 4. Thier just £2:30 per 500ml bottle at 5% ABV. That works out at just £1.84 per bottle and their quality is far superior over these £5+ beers.
Sadly, to brew anything in the UK costs far too much money because of TAX.
As always though, a brilliant review from Simon.
That Cloudwater is only £3.25, seems like a good price? Just saying 😁
Yep
Just saying! because you can afford them, I rarely see you reviewing anything on your channel that joe average can afford, most of us have to make do with the supermarket offerings and an occasional online order as a treat.
Amazingly expensive beer!
Simon enjoyed himself here. 😂
Top 10 British lagers but nothing from Braybrooke beer Co?
I think we could all add our own favourites, but the video would be 2 days long, and Simon would be a tad drunk lol
Lost and Grounded too.
@@simondlatham5939 he’s always a tad drunk! He had 2 in from newbarns…
@@simondlatham5939 also, yes, braybrooke are a favourite of mine as are they my local brewery but I would say they’re also one of the most if not THE most highly regarding lager makers in the UK amongst the wider craft beer scene
@@JayJames72 genuinely believe that Keller Pils is the best craft beer available in supermarkets currently. Popped up in my local Waitrose and it’s the only beer I’ll by from supermarkets
Expensive eye candy give this lot a miss
But as a piece of content and entertainment, its nice to have a change from supermarket beer? Give Simon than chance to drink something nice.
A great review thanks, some big prices though but compared to a crapft beer bar we have in cleethorpes the prices aren't too bad.
Donzoko are amazing for lagers ! The best pilsner I have had is Beak Dest Pils 👌
I remember being floored the first time I had Dest!
£5.60 a can? They're having a laugh.
Please explain why?
I am not convinced that anyone makes a decent lager in England. So many over priced craft brands just deliver bland fizzy cardboard shite. We also murder every 'brewed under license' lager too. Leave it to the Czechs and Germans.
@@GillinghamSchalke totally agree!
SCHALKE IST MEIN GANZES LEBEN, JA DU BIST MEIN VEREIN! FÜR SCHALKE WÜRD' ICH ALLES GEBEN, IN GELSENKIRCHEN BIN ICH DAHEIM!
Of course there are good Lager brewers in the UK. Wrexham Lager is a good example, Camden too. Hawkstone is excellent. Many independant craft brewers can make good Lager. Get out and find them. As for mainstream industrial supermakets so called Lagers like Coors, Fosters, Carling, Bud lite, all total rubbish. The fake foreign Lagers brewed in the UK are really bad too.
Verdant Festbier was brilliant this year from the keg. Not tried it in cans.
I had STF Super Pils collab beer and it was amazing, please Simon review more of their range ! 👌🙏
I've had some of the Donzoko beers and they were really good. They were German style lagers, a helles and a pilsner I think, and they were much more reasonably priced at my local bottle shop at about £2.80 a can. The bloke who runs it knows I like German beers so he recommended them. Really good stuff, cheers Simon
There are now at least a couple of UK craft breweries that just focus entirely on lager... Utopian and Braybrooke are both fantastic: they'd be right up your street, Simon. Well worth looking into.
When Dan and I visited the Farmer's Dog recently, I had the Hawkstone Pilsner and was really happy with it. Dan was driving so had the 0.3% and was pleased with that too. The only thing we weren't happy with was the cashless bar cos cash is king and queen!
Fiat currency good?🤔😆
Good stuff as per usual bud Aģape 😘
Well how about that for service from you Simon, I commented on a video last night asking for the best UK brewed largers and lo and behold here is the video the next day!
Great video, but you could've done a Euros style 1v1 battle over multiple videos to crown the 'ultimate non supermarket lager' 2024
Because the Scots love their lager and do it better than us Sassanacks ! 😂
Jus back from Canada and their beers were exceptional! .. incredible range of Canadian brewed beers for anything from $1.50 & $5 … all 500ml tins and usually 5% and above.
Mash gang are a amazing low/no alcohol brewery
No they aren’t look at si
Yes the stoop extra dry Japanese lager is outstanding for a n/a beer 🍻
Simon, are you sure the Newbarn/Left Handed Giant collaboration is brewed in Scotland? I think it is brewed at Left Handed Giant in Bristol.
Love the new RGB at the back of the bar, nice touch mate!
Possibly laying it on a bit thick with the alcohol free beer chat, I don't think you're exactly the target audience!
Simon, I'm here in the states and I gravitate toward old school west coast IPAs and pale ales, lagers, porters and stouts. I don't want my beer to look and taste like orange juice.
Mash gang only make 0.5% beers
Good video, best British one I’ve tried and at decent prices online are the Dark Revolution lagers and beers, worth a pay day treat
abv makes a big difference ask and german
Simon wash your mouth out, Manchester is not in Lancashire😏and the water here in Manchester and surrounding areas including Lancashire comes from the Lake District fella, it isn't like that Southern muck you know.
My sincere apologies 🤣🤣🍺🍺
UK lager can be as good as continental, Korev from Cornwall, for example is one of my favourite lagers....
So that makes it even stranger that the big brewers that brew in the UK eg Stella, San Miguel mess it up so much, there's no reason for it.
I would be interested to try some of these, I might be able to get Hawkstone in Waitrose?
Man Korev tasted pretty generic to me when I last tried it, very similar to all the macro lagers. Maybe they've changed the recipe or something since then.
Very pished in the end ! 😂
I love a bit of beak too 😉
I'm surprised Utopia didn't make it on the list
Should try beers from rebellion in marlow
I only ever buy these type of beers. Never bother with supermarket beers anymore
Millionaire lifestyle 💰🍻
Deya is nice but the price is outrageous
Did you record that on Slursday?
just got my Oktoberfest beers from Aldi :) Benediktiner Weissbier , Benediktiner Hell . both Eridinger beers . one being the Weissbier ,Paulaner ,Spaten , after checking the beer isle ,no sign of these beers . it was at the front of the store ,by the tills . just be aware of this . they are not in the normal beer isle :)
Not in my Aldi and they didn’t put it out
@@louisbeerreviews8964 sorry to hear that m8 . did you ask the manager ,as most of the staff are clueless ???
Representing your core audience again Simon, there's no way that you finished those beers unless you've truly slipped into alcoholism, why not just review one or two instead of wasting sixty quids worth of beer that most hardworking people can't afford.
The variety is what makes these his best videos.. watching him review 10 beers and get progressively more bladdered over time is good content
mmm
reassuringly expensive, Stella in the good old days
