      thanks a lot for these timestamps. Certainly the best tasting beer in my view is the Marks & Spencer Czech beer. But in terms of best value for money it has to be steinhauser from aldi

    I know it should be the taste that determines the ultimate outcome without label snobbery, I do bulk at paying a £1 a can for Asda, even if it is branded ‘premium’. One of my favourite sayings in a restaurant to the waiter is: - “Why would I choose a £xx bottle of wine to go with my meal when the best wine costs £2000 a bottle and you need to make sure you pick the correct year”. Whereas (before the watering down games currently being played) you can drink the best beers in the world for between four to seven pounds a pint, whether that be Bishops Finger, Abbot Ale, Scrumpy Jack, Old Speckled Hen, Hobgoblin, Pedigree Blue Label, Tanglefoot, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, Erdinger, Leffe Brune, Blue Moon, it is guaranteed to be one of the best beers you can have.

Very refreshing, nice and yeasty and easy to drink, not as dry as some lagers perhaps..
