Samuel Smith Pure Brewed Organic Lager Review By Samuel Smith Brewery | Yorkshire Lager Review 

Best brewed UK lager from a very traditional brewery,no tv no music mo mobile phones just conversation with friends and strangers

This is the best UK brewed lager by far. I agree, it looks and tastes like a German Helles lager.

What amazes me is that John Smith and Sam Smith were brothers who set up two brewery's on the other side of the River in Tadcaster North Yorkshire. John smiths beer is probably the more well known of the two, but how different these two brewers are when brewing beer, John Smith's I wouldn't even wash the dishes in this tasteless horrible swill they call beer, where on the other hand Sam Smith brews fantastic beer lesser known of the two but chalk and cheese between the to.

Not been in a Smiths pub in years. Since they introduced the no phones, no electronics policy. As good as the beers maybe are and how cheap they are I don't want to be told what I can or can't do while enjoying a pint. Not that I am on my phone loads, but I may want to check the football results and don't want to be marched out of a pub for doing so.

Had this many times, great example of UK brewed lager done right 👍

First saw this lager online recently and liked what I read about it. Fast forward 24 hours and stone the crows you've reviewed it! Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Had in a bottle before years ago and thought it was nice but nothing truly special, but had a pint of it a Samuel Smith's in London and DEAR LORD. One of the most perfect lagers I have ever tasted.

I'm Hungaryan, and i'm drinking this beer in New Jersey! Excellent! Cheers!

I live in the US, Brooklyn, NY. I don't like the U.S. commercial beers. But i found a gem beer specialty store in Brighton Beach Brooklyn, also called Little Russia. I described to the owner what kind of beer i like, flavor profile in general. Then he literally opened the door to the world of beers for me. First, I fell in love with the Andesch's Yellow bottle. Then i would visit from time to time. And I found Samuel Smith, it is so good. Pure and refreshing, no bitterness at all. I would also recommend the Japanese brand, Orion Craft beer if you like this one.

Uk lager at its best. Interesting fact Ayinger brewery taught sam smith how to brew lager late 60s Sam Smith actually sold it under the Ayinger brand name there wheat beer is also fantastic

I'll have to try this. I used to drink in Sam Smiths pubs in central London years ago, particularly the magnificent "Cittie of Yorke" in High Holborn adjacent to the Inns of Court where I was studying. I mainly drank the superb Old Brewery Bitter which has remained a favourite (when I can find a Sam Smiths pub) over 30 years later. I recall back then the only lager they stocked was their "Alpine Lager" which was really rather horrible.

They do make good beer and there's nothing wrong with having policies but it's everything else that goes on with Humphrey Smith that's the problem

I love that stuff. Best lager around

Bloody good brewery Sam Smiths. Quite a few of their pubs, not that far from me where they took over the Melbourn brewery in Stamford, donkey's years ago. Just a shame they only brew one cask ale these days, good though OBB is.

The Water guard pub in Cardiff bay always has this on tap. It's a Sam Smiths pub. Always reliable.

This looks a really good lager, much better than the UK brewed mass produced lager. These speciality lagers brewed by real ale makers are a good way to drink lager in the UK. I'm in the SW, I've tried Sulis lager from Bath Ales, that was delicious.

Haven't had this one in a while. Another example of why we need a craft lager style guideline.

Love this lager 🍺,so much so I got the glass 👍👌🤓😊

If I'm in central London by myself I always go to the Chandos, a big pub on St Martin's Lane. It's close to Trafalgar square so good for meeting people and going to the museums and theatres. I've done most of my beer drinking in Austria so I gravitate to this lager and the wheat beer. I enjoy the familiarity of the taste, I've drunk a lot of Helles bier in my time so that probably explains why I go for it. Because its a big busy pub I think you could get away with a bit of filming and phone use particularly in the snugs. The Cheshire Cheese on Fleet St is another London favourite of mine for drinking this beer. It's a pity that my local Samuel Smiths pub is on the A6 so I have to restrain myself to one if I visit.

Cracking lager this, would highly recommend. If you haven’t tried Samuel Smiths beer you’re in for a treat. Would also strongly recommend their Taddy Porter. But generally speaking, they don’t make a bad beer. Great brewery.

It's excellent, I picked up a four pack of cans. They didn't last long. 👍🍻

There is a non Sam smiths pub called the black lion in Leighton buzzard, Bedfordshire near me that has this on draft. Don't think I've ever seen it in bottle or in another pub on draft.

Occasionally go to The Oyster Bar in Manchester which is a Samuel Smith pub and used to be a oyster bar back in the day. Used to love "taddys" - £2 a pint at 5% and would stay there all afternoon. Most recently I have been enjoying the stout.

Best UK lager, one of the best in the World from the best brewery.

I like Sam Smith, only half of the pubs though have cask Bitter on ( only cask they do) Joseph Holt of Manchester better option for me, brew a good range of cask, lagers, stout, good bottle selection, 120 pubs n still reasonably cheap compared to most...Good review Simon🍺

I like Simon’s jumper….beer looks good too..

Good selection of Samuel smith in beers of europe, love the labels on the bottles

This is nice in Sam Smith's pubs, but the price is insane in London: a pint for nearly £8. Their cheapest lager is their alpine lager at £4.90 a pint but it's only 3.4%. I've been driven to drinking half pints so as to not break the bank... or Wetherspoon's!

Their IPA is nice they also do a couple of decent looking stouts that I have yet to try

Looking great simon was about time for a trim. Glad youre back doing beer reviews.

lovely stuff. Great on draught.

Over 200 pubs, all owned by the Brewery, Sam Smiths inspect all the pubs at regular times, if it's served poorly they are known for moving the pubs staff on within days. It is a step back in time, but the beer is consistent, people in the pub talking and no idiots swearing across the room. Try the stout next time you visit

Went to the windsor castle in victoria recently great underated sam smiths pub in a good part of london.

I’d never buy it their practices are shocking the way they treat landlords and the villages they have pubs in. Massive numbers of their pubs are standing empty. Banning people from using mobile phones and devices in this day and age is just crazy, stopping pubs making money from business customers and the self employed etc. Most of the beer is awful and there’s no choice. The pubs are dead. When the bridge washed away in Tadcaster a few years ago Humphrey Smith refused to have one end of the temporary bridge on his empty land so the locals had a massive detour for months. The guy is an idiot. Pubs forced to pay extortionate prices. Just search RU-vid for Sam Smiths pubs and you’ll see a small part of it.

Geipel shades it for me

Hi Simon, love the channel and always watch the live Stoned Crow feed. Like you I really like Samuel Smiths and I think you should review their Yorkshire bitter - it's in Aldi part of their Specially Selected range. It's superb, lovely malt tones and really good value. Check it out, I'll give it 9/10!

Cracking brewery and lovely beers if you can find them 😢

This stuff is rocket fuel on tap, it keeps on fermenting so the abv is never accurate.

Stinging Nettle bingo 3:15

Humphrey has destroyed sam smiths pubs, in tadcaster and york, he's closed down most of his pubs. Only know of 2 that are open now. No phones, no texting your mates, no laptops/tablets, no TVs, cash only. Right now He may as well put a small mustache on and do a monty python silly walk while glorifying the aryan race if you get what i mean. Shame because the head brewer knows what hes doing. They have some good/excellent beers
