I find lager too gassy, and also lacking in flavour compared to good real ale. Fortunately, where I live, there is no shortage of locally produced real ales, all served in rather nice country pubs.
However, on a hot summer's day nothing else hits the spot than an ice-cold pint (or pints!) of Pils/lager :)
My favourites include Peroni (Nastro Azzurro), Moretti, Jupiler, and almost anything German :cool:

Hoegaarden is rather sweet. German wheat beer is better and purer. Try Franziskaner or even the one brewed by Grolsch.
Thanks for the tips Steve. Prost!
10 pints of Touborg Larger tonight. Yum Yum...Of to my pit early doors..Being dentist early this morning no time for brekfast or dinner, not a good idea with the Amber nektar
A bottle of this:

2003 'Château La Bernarde', Côtes de Blaye. A 100% Merlot Bordeaux.
Cuvée Blavia:
Le Domaine étend son vignoble sur un terrain agrilo-calcinaire complanté de cépages nobles Bordelais. Blavia est une cuvée spéciale 100% Merlot. Issu d’une sélection rigoureuse, le vin est élevé pendant 12 mois en fûts de chêne merrain. Blavia (ancient nom latin de la ville de Blaye) fait réfrénce au camp Romaine construit en 25 avant J-C à l’emplacement de l’actuelle citadelle.
La vin signé Mähler-Besse, est dense, puissant et complex, laissant percevoir le fruits mûr.
Enjoyed this evening with chicken Kiev, with a garlic, cheese and bacon wrap in breadcrumbs, with mushrooms, braised celery hearts, tender-stem broccoli and sugarsnap peas.
Chicken Kiev, Barry? How very 70s! I wholly approve :)
As we have our main meal during the day, and eat very little at night, today for Sunday lunch we had...
...some Gravadlax with dill sauce, accompanied with a cucumber salad, to start, followed by pan-fried rib-eye of Welsh Black beef in a rich red wine, herb and caper sauce, served with griddled red peppers, champignons farcis, mange-tout and sautéed potatoes, washed down with a bottle of:
Château Dubois Gramont 2007, Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée - £6.99 from Sainsburys, and quite incredible value.
This wine showcases the quality available from les petits châteaux of Bordeaux, often only a few miles from the famous domaines of the region, and of course, as a result, a mere fraction of the price!
Think deep, rich, intensity of flavour with blackberries and damsons to the fore overlaying cherry and a hint of fig. The Merlot contributes the ripe, soft summer fruit character, while the Cabernet Sauvignon brings with it classic structure and body.
This is a wine that can compete favourably with some St-Émilion and Médoc, as it has a similar level of finesse.
Rush now while stocks last! :cheers:
Marco.
