Comment on The love of lagers by Herkybird

I’ve had 3 good lagers in my life; 2 were Czech and the other the gorgeous Scottish Harviestoun Schiehallion.

In Britain, you simply do not get the variety and depth of flavour in a lager that you get from a good bitter. Blonde bitters (eg Golden Pippin) are generally far better than lager. And most national brands of lager are truly dreadful.

I may have to visit the Czech Republic to see if you’re right.

Good article Tom. Your’s is a tough job but I guess someone’s got to do it! You were wondering if the tourists at Cantillon understood you. Luke from Epic told me that he really struggled with your accent when he met you a the New Crown. On that day you were working and stone cold sober! I wonder if any tourists will have problems understanding you when you are working this Sunday?

Chin Chin,, I say to slap yo with your own motto. Spot on with lagers in the Czech Republic are fantastic and the majority of others do pale in comparison. I do find myself dragging by the draft selection as I enter a new establishment, or even my own local to see what there is to offer. So you are not alone…just revel in the fact that you do not live in a beer wasteland.

Can’t beat a good lager. Unfortunately so many people have had bad experiences with overly fizzy, tasteless lout that they won’t try a proper lager either. Tell them it’s not meant to be as fizzy as soda water and they won’t believe you.
