    Is this the one that almost tastes like a white wine?

    I'm a seasonal drinker, I guess

    Guinness - the only and only (here, there or in Dubbers)
    Timothy Taylor's Landlord for an ale, also partial to a Brixton Reliance
    For lager/pilsner it has to be Pilsner Urquell - the real deal. My local cricket club has it on draught which is incredibly handy when the nipper has 6-8pm practice on a Friday evening
    For an off-piste, quite like a dark Kozel, Fullers ESB, a Stiegel or Augustiner Helles if I can find it. If not, I'll default to a Camden Hells, Peroni or Moretti
    For soft drinks it has to be a Gunners in the summer (esp straight after golf), or a blackcurrant and lemonade... loads of ice

    With all these independent / micro breweries the field has changed. I generally have a look what’s on offer and take pot luck. Some you win some you lose!

    but if I had to choose one before I went in the pub it would be Guinness

    There's nothing Spanish about Madri. It's an invented brand, brewed in Tadcaster by Molson Coors.

    It's just Carling with a few more hops in it.

    Cobra isn't Indian either, it's "Indian style lager". Kingfisher is a real Indian lager.

    Stiegl aesthetics make me want to frog march any wrongdoers out of the pub.

    Stopped off there when we got mullered by Leicester at filbert street

    5-2 live on sky

    Heskey & collymore tore is a part like they usually did

    Had an enjoyable few pints in their brewery on way back till the locals

    Started to take umbridge

    I said it was as close as you get in the UK, Carling got the input from their Spanish associates

    Almost right, it's the Coors recipe.

    Pravha is on sale in The Terrace, £3 a pint. It's nice.

    That 1906 in Spain is good as mentioned, but if you get the chance, try mahou negra, better imo.

    For me.

    Kaminetza
    Staropramen dark
    Estrella Galicia.

    Of those more widely available.

    Leffe blonde
    Staropramen
    Murphy's.

    A lot of "European" beers for sale in the UK are actually local versions brewed here, including Staropramen and Estrella Damm (but not Galicia). There are some places that sell the original imported stuff. Surprisingly Lidl is pretty good for that.

    Drink of choice for me is Trophy, from the supporters club here in Hartlepool by the sea. A lager would be LCL another cracking pint.

    Gambrinus is owned by the Pilsner Urquell brewery. Bernard is sold in Czech Republic and surrounding countries, like Hungary and Slovakia.
    I have had Krusovice a few times in Head of Steam in Durham. Budvar is sold in the Bridge Hotel in High Street.
