<laugh> true,

i used to drink that s**te when i was younger as i knew a lot of alchies, we had special brew, kestrel super, tennants super,stella etc lol, don't drink that s**te now days though, irony being i am a pot head nowdays even though my old man is an alchie and a lot of my mates are.

have they changed something with carlsberg by the way? used to drink it and it was ok, had a few last night and it went right through me, constantly pissing which was annoying lol.

Not sure. I'll check with my mate. He works in brewing and is privy to all sorts of information about all the main brands. One of the reasons I asked RHC the question I asked him earlier. I've always ask people who like Carling if they like Tennant's, after I once had a long talk with my brewery mate.*

Carling is inexplicably popular in Derby. I've lived in maybe five or six different locations in the UK and Derby is the only place I've lived where Carling is (massively) preferred over other lagers like, say, Carlsberg.

It's like living in the Twilight zone. <laugh>


*My brewery mate says the recipe for Tennent's is practically identical to Carling, and that professional beer tasters have problems distinguishing between the two in most taste tests. I like to see whether people are consistent in their tastes or whether they are unconsciously biased by publicity and advertising. It's usually the latter. Only one person, so far, has admitted to liking both Tennant's and Carling. Interesting. <ok>

Carling is, without doubt, the most popular lager in the North West.
 
Wonder if people in Europe drink Carling because it's British like we have European beers over here, anyone ever seen it offered over there?

Like Heineken actually. Haven't had one for a while as I don't drink lager much.
