What I'm guessing you're thinking of as "lager" is the usual stuff most Americans and continental Europeans drink--the piss-yellow stuff that's mostly pilsners and sometimes pale bocks. And that's true--those are lagers. But lager also encompasses the wonderful world of bocks (dark doppels, mai bocks) and October fest beer. It's a shame to dismiss all lagers based on a limited experience of what they are.

They don't. Enjoy it, that is. They're not drinking for taste. They're only drinking to get drunk, or "to drink beer," with the intention of getting drink, because I don't know how you can get drunk on the stuff either, unless you drink about a case of it in one sitting. It's like water.

One thing that i've always noticed is that,for example,people will always ask for a whiskey and coke even though pepsi is what most people get because pubs get it cheaper and it has become almost the norm.Still,people wont ever ask for a whiskey and pepsi. |

yeah, it's not entirely that bad...i als obuy it from time to time for the same reason as the sierra nevada pale ale...because it's at the convenience store...sometimes i put some orange in there if i have it. usually, all i have on hand is concentrated o.j., so i put a tiny bit of it in there to accentuate the citrus flavor.

come on, it's got to be belgium. they've got to be the best allround. they probably have the widest variety of beers from any country listed in this poll.
dubbels, triples, trappists, white beers, abbeys, lambics... you name it. and their lagers (jupiler!) ain't bad either. i think most of you who are voting in this poll base your opinion on just 1 or 2 brands alone. look at the bigger picture and do what !@#$%! said. |

i must admit i don't know Belgian beers that well, and it's true that i've had some excellent beers there... lots of different kind of beers too, it's true...
in fact, maybe it's the right time for me to admit that i do not have a big knowledge of beers... i just love the czech beers i know, and was surprised not to see that contry included in the list. was also surprised to see Canada: do they have some good beers? |

i'm no beer expert either. most beers i drink would be considered lagers in brit-lingo and are the dutch ones that are most common on tap in holland: grolsch, heineken, amstel, bavaria, dommelsch... not very exotic. but the nicest ones i know are from belgium. the czechs have some great beers indeed; i'm not sure if i've ever had a canadian beer... maybe molson(?) once or twice. i suppose denmark has some internationally known lagers too (carlsberg, tuborg). |

This is very true. Over here, it's more about disliking domestic lager rather than disliking lager period. Unfortunately, the price of a semi-decent lager is likely to involve selling a limb or three, whereas a decent ale is generally cheaper, and more proliferate, than your average pint of generic shite. I've been drinking Cumberland down the local this eve. I forget the brewery.

And while I think about it, that eco-warrior they do in the Foundry ain't too shabby.
