Great video Dave, especially coming into the summer months. I have a basic rule, if a drink has any connection to Heineken, stay clear of it, sadly, I now include Beavertown in that. Beavertown used to do great beer. I went to Malaga earlier this year, was really surprised at the craft beer scene. Had a pint of Victoria Malaga Negra (Estrella Damm brewery). It was fantastic, mix of pilsner and dark chocolate malts. So Spain I feel, is also getting fed up with poor lager.
Estrella is a good brewery Al..their Vol Damn 7.2% is nice. Yes owt to do with Heineken ( coors / carlsberg group sort of similar) stay clear. Cheers Al😊🍺🍺
I was never a lager drinker (I thought it was a woman's drink) except for San Miguel when I was a teenager on holiday in Spain 😉 Then I had German lager at an Oktoberfest tent in Edinburgh 😋 It was a revelation! I love (most) the German lagers. I totally agree with you on football and celebrities 👍 p.s. I'm going to try Mahou to see how bad (or good) it is 🤣
Great video Dave. I like a lager now and again but I would never drink San Miguel it is by far the worst lager I’ve had. The others I could tolerate. Keep up the good work 🍺👍
We just released Estrella Damm today as a Macro Monday review. Not too bad that beer. Always funny how the most popular beer outside of a location is usually the one that no locals drink! Cheers Dave! Great follow up video to your trip! 🍻
Have to say I agree with you about lager Dave! I’m in Aberdeen where tennents is king horrible stuff! Give me a cask ale any day of the week. Keep up the good work cheers.
I used Amstel beer for one of my tasks in Cask master , because I knew it wasn’t a problem wasting the beer 😅. The Paulaner is a good Un , like all German beers . Not had a bad German beer yet . Lager is a craft and them macro lagers you talked about today are in my opinion, instant lager 😂. I used to love San Miguel when I was younger. Think it has changed , but think it’s more me that’s changed . Enjoyed this Dave , and great you backed it up with local opinions. Nice one. Cheers . Speno
Weird me Dave......im a Keg man usually but if weather wise its hot i will have a Lager.....i know where youre coming from,most are like piss😊 Great to see the I.O.M. behind ya,I need to get back over there soon!😊
Some lagers are decent, some are not...defo a beer for hot weather like u say...Great if u got back to the island...TT starts on Monday mate...cheers🍺👍
Slurpy investigates! Cracking idea, the first pint of the holiday tastes amazing but it’s downhill from there quite rapidly. Victoria Malaga is quite a nice drop, bit more malt in it I think, but can’t beat a cask pint 🍻
Great advice at the start of the vid I’m with you 100 % you’ve got to love a customer survey 👍proper effort put in by you Mr Slurpy. Classic quote “ I know what dog s#%t tastes like “ 😂🤪😂🤪another great vid as always love the channel I’m a MASSIVE fan cheers 👍🍻
Yes Rick wasn't just my thoughts on Spanish Lagers but general opinion. Thanks for tuning in once again mate...you're a glutton for punishment 😂cheers pal🍺
Cruzcampo is terrible stuff mate. You're bang on with that observation mate. Terrible stuff. San Miguel is actually a Phillipino beer, brewed under license in Spain.
Hola! Lovely comparison video pal, I find most of the uk brewed Spanish lager far too gassy and don’t enjoy them at all but yeh German Beers i find taste way better especially Marzen…Dunkel…wheat beers 👍🍺😀
I appreciate a man who knows what he likes and sticks with it. Being an American, for many, many years beer over here was almost nothing but lager. Few if any bars offered anything else on tap. Things have changed and we have far more choices. Maybe it has something to do with climate, as many people find cold lager refreshing in warm weather. As always, your vids are interesting with great scenery. Cheers
Aww Dave thanks so much for the mention, Andrew was a bit star struck meeting you the other day - loving the videos as always, keep it up Slurpy!! 🍻 see you’re wearing your new t-shirt, you must be something of a celebrity over there with the amount of free beers you were getting, can’t complain ey 😂 Anyway Cheers Dave glad you enjoyed your trip, and keep them jokes coming! 👍🏻 Andy & Nina P.S - Can’t bloody stand lagers either, although we’ve had a bit of a taste for Desperados and Amigos lately, very very sweet but refreshing in the summer months and the added bonus of a tequila in there does no harm 🤣 cheers
Blimey tequila in ya lager Nina, hardcore😂 yes saw u both in M & S around Xmas but properly met Andy yesterday, another fine mancunian😂👊👊. I only get a few freebies now n then but very welcome!. Thank you so much Nina & Andy for your comments..much appreciated 😊 🍺👍
Spain can do a lot of great things, but they are crap at lagers. I would rather not drink than suffer bloody Spanish lager on holiday. I can empathise with your struggle. I think Estrella is just piss-water, I bought 2 bottles for review and I just couldn't do it. Another good video Dave keep up the good work and stay away from things that sting and lager! 🙂🍻
Estrella was regarded as one of the better lagers by the locals...Jesus doesn't say much for the others😂 fortunately I found lots of other decent slurps away from spanish lagers. Couldn't find a Sam Smith's Nut Brown in Mallorca though 😂cheers Graeme
Another top vid . However larger is pretty crap . Only drank on holiday as that's all they sell . John smiths mot my cup of tea keep up the streaming pal🍻
Lager Lager Lager ......sure that was a song or something like that 😂 I don't mind a proper brewed Lager where you can taste the malts and the carbonation is natural (I'm basically saying German or Czech) I can not stand yellow fizzy water, cheers Dave 🍻
Yellow fizzy water! Sounds like Don's piss😂 in general macro lagers are shite..estrella n hijos de rivera( estrella galicia)breweries produce some decent beers to be fair. German beers pretty reliable beers to fall back on...cheers Mr B🍺👍
You're on the nose about lagers Dave, sunshine and heat hides a multitude of sins, and says a lot about British drinkers who drink it on cold winter days in the UK. Don't know what's happened to Amstel though, at one time I thought it was passable as lagers go. Probably Heineken doing the same to Amstel what they did to Heineken, which Imo once again used to be passable ( only in Holland though )
Drinking lager in the winter, never got that😂 so true. Yes ya right about the heat n sunshine disguising the lager flavour. Cheers for tuning in Ronnie👍🍺😊
I much prefer the dark lager beers Dave like the Bock's and Scharzbiers, used to drink Wrexham lager when I was young. Then in 1982 they brewed a dark lager to the original brew on there centenary it was fantastic beer nothing like the macro brewed crap lagers of today cheers
Yes I like dark lagers, marzens, Dunkeld, books etc...its the macro shite I can't abide. Remember Wreham lager, used to see it in Border Brewery pubs on my canal trips of North Wales back in the 80s..cheers Jon🍺👍
Just say Paulaner in Spanish. LOL Its hard to drink a lager when your local ales are of the same ABV range of a lager. Plus you will never see a lager on cask. I would never drink a lager in that case. LOL
