Certainly not American Bud, but I enjoy both Budvar, the Czech Bud, and Pilsner Urquell.

Staropramen

Brewed under licence at Burton upon Trent by/for Molson Coors who own Staropramen.
Enough said.

That's disappointing, I hadn't picked up on that... It makes choosing the least-worst option even more difficult now!

No actually beer so don't know if it counts..

Bandito by aldi, beer with tequila.

Copy of desperado, which I find has a tang and prefer the copy Bandito.

Like the elvis juice too. Weird but different.

Thanks for the desperado recommendation, I've been mulling over that.


On the subject of spingo, there is a copy recipe for brewers, apparently the water from s "burtonised" ..making it nowt special, so I'm wondering

Burtonising results in the water in your brew batch holding these characteristics..
Calcium (Ca) - 268 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) - 62 ppm
Sodium (Na) - 30 ppm
Sulfate (SO4) - 638 ppm
Chloride (Cl) - 36 ppm
biCarbonate (HCO3) - 141 ppm
pH - 8.33

They've been brewing Spingo there for centuries, so any changes to the water are recent, and made since I left in 1991. IIRC the brew house was originally part of a monastic settlement, as so many were, and it's certainly fairly ancient, the building itself is probably late medieval from the way it's constructed. The beer recipe changed a bit around the time that Pat and Syd took over the place in the 1970's, when they replaced a lot of the brewing equipment and put in modern tanks, although they kept the old copper used for boiling the water.

Brewdog Punk IPA at the Dogtap in Ellon.

Don’t often drink beer, this afternoon seemed like a good one to re-start though. We’re blessed with many small breweries around us.

My favourite is Exmoor Gold - as it states, a bright, golden hoppy beer. Great on draught, better from the barrel without gas, ok, as it was this afternoon, in bottle.

4 for £6 in the local Tesco

Sounds lovely! I love beer & cider, also a glass of red but no spirits really. The silk road sampler today was epic as was Hop Tiger. Here's the brewery today for those who like Brewdog yet are on a geographic. The journey there and back was completed on the morning sunshine. How epic is that?

Oh, we have plenty of Cider down here. Some of it nice

Seriously, on a hot summers afternoon, a glass of proper job cider is lovely.
