Cheap Beer

[THE MIGHTY QUINN]

Sainsbury's doing 3 x18 tin cases of Tennants for £20

[Square Ball]

Wouldnt buy it for a tenner, its muck... its the worst of all the lagers IMHO

[THE MIGHTY QUINN]

Have to disagree there chum. Its my favourite, it and Heiniken which, incidentally is also on offer a 5 litre keg of draught for around £5.50

None of those canned beers are great. Tennents is a great lager on tap (imho). In fairness though, I used to work in a bass house, so it was all we had, but it poured all day and was very very good.

[Square Ball]

Used to drink it years ago, moved onto Harp, now Carlsberg and wouldnt touch Tennents or Harp again, dont mind Heiniken or Stella are decent beers.

[Puckoon]

Interesting. I wouldnt thank you for a carslberg. That said, when I get home, its generally stout all the way. Unless theres a heatwave and I need a couple of shandies.

It's very simple. Anyone who talks about the quality of Carlsberg and the lack of quality of Tennents in the same sentence is nothing more than a victim of marketing. These products are essentially the same thing, i.e. bland, mid-strength lager. Any difference in taste is more likely owed to what you had for dinner than to what what comes out of the pump. It's a bit like describing Evian as a superior water to Ballygowan.

And don't get me wrong, I drink both all the time. But I'm honest enough to admit that it's more for the purposes of drunkenness than 'quality'. Whichever is cheaper would certainly swing my vote... and I have to say 54 tins of mid-strength beer is bloody good value for money.

Heineken is my fave but 8 or 10 cans will blow your lid off!    And dont even mention pints of it... about 5 and i'm done wheras I could drink 8 or so Carlsberg on a night out before feelling a bit sidewards.

[Square Ball]

No doubt at all that it is good value and thanks to TMQ for posting it, but the fact remains that i dont like the stuff, plain and simple, and believe me I can tell the difference, nothing to do with marketing I just think its boggin.. Ones mans meat and all that

[ziggysego]

I think Fosters is nice in a can.

just thinking about this, Royal Dutch is worse

[The Real Laoislad]

I think Fosters is nice in a can.

I agree with Square Ball..There is a massive difference between the lagers and it has nothing to do with the marketing..
I wouldn't drink Heineken(or Heino for posh Dubs)* if my life depended on it,pure phish in my opinion..Same with Tennants pure piss...
Carlsberg tastes completely different it's a grand drink as is Coors,Miller and Corona but they all taste different to me




* Or Dubs who think think they are posh

[amallon]

I can't taste the difference between Harp, Tennents or Carlsberg.  Maybe its because I'm a smoker but I cannot notice the difference. 

[Tankie]

the amount of Gas in Harp is unreal, i had to get winded the last time i drank it

No Beer is cheap, if you factor in the cost to your health, 1 or Pints,fair enough, but some of the quantities being referred to here as a normal session are just crazy and stupid
