    The closet to Spanish lager in England is Madri.

    Peroni in England is **** compared to Italy, and the better beer is Nastro Azzuro, but for some reason the bottle colours are different, Peroni is brown and Nastro is green. In England it's the other way around.

    Can’t recall the name 100% of it when I was in Wales, but think it was black dragon and my god that was amazing.

    local brew from the ringwood brewery is amazing

    Love a Staropramen but it always tastes better in the casino, for whatever reason…

    I've been teetotal for 22 years, so these days it's an ice cold Pepsi Max, or a sugar free Vimto cordial.

    When I did drink, it was any real ale, but my all time favourite was Caffreys. Quite liked a pint of Trophy bitter too!

    Love Vimto.

    Pub in my village when I started going out served either Tenents Extra or Einhorn. Literally each end of the spectrum.

    Carling Premier was a game changer mid to late nineties.

    Now its Peroni, Staropramen or Stella.

    Loved a pint of Exhibition when I was younger. Trophy was decent too.

    Nowadays I'm really into Craft Beers. Unfortunately, Sunderland isn't the best place to go for them. There are some tremendous breweries on Tyneside who are currently knocking the spots off anything brewed on Wearside. Haway Lads, up your game!

    Full Circle, Almasty and Two by Two all produce excellent stuff. I was delighted to pick up Full Circle Revolver cans in Asda in Wembley back in May.

    My Favourites are Full Circle's propeller, Life and Death by Vocation and Green Mountain by Thornbridge.

    For the OP: Thornbridge are producing Jaipur Faith, which is a collaboration with Northern Monk Brewery. Should be worth a try.

    Vaux's Lambton was as smooth a silk as well. Not very strong (3.8% rings a bell) , but a nice tipple

    No mate it’s this, it was pure black. As good as anything I’ve tasted. 7.2 %.

    Titanic Plum Porter.

    Sadly not had one on the 10 years I've lived in this country shaped toilet.

    Stella, Carling worse than piss.

    Tim Taylors landlord if served right, lovely.

    Love a good Porter.

    Guinness...usually a decent option in places where they have no idea what a good beer is <laugh>

    Had a Vanilla Stout once in Shields...can't recall the brewery but was the best ever I ever had. Tasted like alcoholic ice cream

    Now we’re talking for lagers no one does it better than the Germans or the Czechs for me, augustina brau, spaten or steigl are superb, love a budva, staropramen or pravha too

    tend to just go with neck oil on a match day though so easy to sink

    honourable mention to jakehead from wylam too but it absolutely ruins me

    I had a pint of Sapporo in Perth airport a couple of days ago and it was outstanding.
    I also like Madri however it is not available in Perth.
    Out of rhe Aussie lagers I have tried I like Hahn which kind of reminds me of old school LCL which was my favourite.
