You can buy it here - http://www.englishwinesgroup.com/shop/default.asp (click Wine List on the left and then select Beer.)

It is CHAMPAGNE LAGER. Consider it.

It is the finest lager I have ever tasted, I love it. One pub in Dawlish sells it.

champagne lager!
expect a splitting head like you've never had before in the morning.

Nope, I have drunk of it several times (although never more than about 4 or 5 bottles) and never been adversely affected the next day.

I drank some amazing lagers in Amsterdam when I visited. I highly recommend Grimbergen.

Grimbergen! I thought of that as soon as I saw this thread title. Tastes beautiful, fucks you up hilariously.

for a straight-up-no-fooling-around lager, i like sam smith. so simple, yet so sublime.

Tombot, very funny to see this from a resident of Colonial Terrace. I think they serve that up at Dremo's.

For my money, Sam Smith's is quite fine. I look forward to trying some of these Dutch lagers when I finally make my way there.

Brooklyn is goooooooooood. Also enjoy anything from the Anchor Steam brewery in California and Goose Island in Chicago. Lagers with flavour - can't beat 'em.

Pretty much all ale as far as I know. I usually go straight for the Pilsner Urquell.

― viborgu, Friday, 14 October 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

grimbergen is an ale

and it's far from fine

― asdfg, Friday, 14 October 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

are you sure? it certainly tasted like a lager.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 14 October 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

It certainly tastes fine. Weirdo.

Thou shalt not hold any mere "normal" lagers over Eisbocks or Doppelbocks. Thus speaks the MIghtiest of The Mighty:

All praise be to beers over 8% by volume.

― Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Friday, 14 October 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

No no no. Anchor Steam's brew pretend to be ales but they're really not. They're a subversion of the lager format into something palettable but you still keep them in the fridge and they still have bubbles which makes 'em lager. Apart from Anchor Porter which is different.

― uptoeleven (uptoeleven), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

I'm not a beer gourmet but the difference between a lager such as the Brooklyn Lager and an ale like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale seems to be somewhat a grey area in my view. Anyone care to educate me on the difference?

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 14 October 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

OK, to answer my own question, apparently it has something to do with top-fermenting vs. bottom-fermenting:

As he mentions, taste can vary with the "hybrids" or just with variances on ingredients.

Sierra Nevada is a superior beer. But then again, so is Brooklyn Lager. But Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' rules them all.
