Video

You could keep to two beer videos a month and two cooking ones. You are a natural behind the camera, so don’t leave us !! X

I missed out on this one However hoping Lidl UK will get this back in when Oktoberfest starts 🇧🇪🥨🍻

Do what suits you Chris, a lot of the craft beers have been mimicked so often that they've become as bland and boring as the macro lagers, I'm 51 now and it's more about quality than quantity for me , there's no harm in mixing things up with the odd cooking/ camping trip videos, best of luck with whichever direction you take the channel.

Hey Chris, I hope you one day go back to reviewing craft Beer one of these days if something new comes along so cheers

I think you have to do what's best for you. Do what you enjoy, if that's an occasional beer people will be here for that. All the best, cheers #Disco

Does this only work with cans that have to 'balls of nitrogen' because I have tried it with a couple of cans that have the nitro widget attached to the bottom of the can and it always sounds like the nitrogen has been released even when left to 'degas' slowly.

Where are you buying this 16% & 20% from ?

Sometimes you just need to step back from reviewing for a few months..

Beers like this make me thankful I make my own beer! Lads and lassies do yourself a favour and buy a Grainfather and some real ingredients 👍

Morning mate, probably your best video, and it wasnt even a beer review! I think the general vibe is we enjoy watching and listening to you, regardless of the content. Lovely to see honest reflection, do what you need to do bud, the channel will look after itself

Definitely interested in camping/cooking videos

Hi Chris - I really enjoy your reviews but your health comes first. Do what you feel you need to do. I’m sure everyone who follows you wishes you well. Incidentally I agree about beer types. I now hanker for lager, best bitters, brown ales etc. the Cheddar Ales you recommend look good. I often get deliveries from a local brewer called Hadrian Border Brewery. Best wishes. Henry

Have you reviewed jever pilsner ?

I think motor caravan, camping material would be really good, something we are really interested in. Cheddar ales are great, I’ve tried a fair few from them courtesy of beers of Europe.

Tbf i think we watch your channel for you mate. The content is secondary. Whatever you want to do we'll still watch !

OK, time to up the game. Chris's Whisky Reviews.

Last round of COVID effected my taste again, this time hoppy beers taste far too bitter, cider and pilsners are fine

I like watching your reviews mainly of Belgium and German beers..I drink far too much when am off work easily every day for about 8 days but when working knock it on head for about 4/5 days but never board of it and have no interest in spirits/ shots/whisky etc but that’s me.

I can fall out of beer in summer and appreciate a smokey barrel cider.

I'm mostly into pilsners, lagers, wheat beer, real ales, dark beers and ones that I get imported from Belgium, France or Germany. I'm not really into craft beer as such now, you just always get that big grapefruit/orange/lemon taste in most not all but it's always the same. Not a big hophead from the modern hops you get, where you get the huge citrus fruit vibes and not really thing for me.

More than happy to watch you review German / Czech & UK traditional beers as that’s where I’m at to be honest. My interest in IPAs has dwindled and it’s down to cost and quality - don’t mind the odd Pale Ale though if at a brewery tap etc. My go-to is cask when I’m out, would rather drink a good, well kept cask ale over anything. I’ve still got an unused gift voucher for Trembling Madness from Christmas! Will Probably keep until the darker / Christmas beers come out! Would also watch any BBQ type vids too if you made them Chris 👍🏼

Hello Chris, I completely understand with taking a break from beer. I have also slow down on purchasing beer. In part some of the new beers just don't interest me. You don't see too many new lagers, pilsners, etc. I have gotten to the point I will probably just review beers that I really like and maybe my homebrews. Just an idea, may be you can do videos on other beer related news. Videos don't have to be long. Anyways, I hope you are doing well. Cheers.

As for your future vlogs film what you like and not what we like as it will work better

I got an order yesterday iv not had bottle shop swag for two months iv been on the supermarket swag thats nice and low abv well 5% the 330s and been happy i think the covid madness time has passed now and cans at £5 to£8 is not sustainable its a treat

Review whatever appeals to you Chris, i'll still watch.

Regarding craft beers, I Sort of went the same way - stopped buying them for ages. Got into imported lager, Pilsners etc. Just do the odd video now and then when it suits, folk will still watch 👍

If you’re not enjoying it then completely agree decreasing your drinking is the only thing to do. Local ale in the UK is outstanding and I’d love to see them getting promoted - they don’t fit the supermarket model but that is no way a bad thing! 🍻

I bought some years ago when it was 9.5 %. A four pack thinking it was tenants extra. After three cans the tv started doing manoeuvres in the living room. I was hammered. Mind you I finished the fourth can after the tv started behaving itself. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Chouffe is an excellent brewery, so your impressions are not a surprise. Try Soleil, if you can find it - great summer, golden beer

They love Tennent's Super in Rome, all the pubs sell it in draught, cans and bottles 😁🇮🇹

Great video, looking at Untappd I’ve always rated Kasteel fractionally higher too but never considered why 🍻

Proper UK lagers beat the pants of the fake ones, my circuit of Brit lager brewers - St Austell, Allsopp’s, Blue Moose, Wrexham and Thornbridge. I rotate these buying on line direct from the brewery. Recently tried Brew Point ( previously Charles Wells) now added to my hit list 👍

I like to add a Oxo cube to my homemade burgers.

That’s a nice glass.

Missed a trick should of mixed them

I thnk I will still keep clear of this one. I am not convinced. 🤣

Great review Chris ! I've always stayed away from these heavy hitters that as you know have always had a bad reputation (sometimes justified) with many descriptions such as wife beater, tramp juice and park benchers, I was surprised to find that it doesn't contain the dreaded GS but that still won't get me to give it a try, I like yourself enjoy the occasional strong Belgian or Impy but to me a lager is just lager, crisp clean and thirst quenching and the German pilsners between 5 and 6% suit me fine.

Well played Chris dropping the Park Bench tag on the Super strength Lagers. Tennents Super I was introduced to in my Teens and it was a 9.5% then when I reviewed it about 12 years ago it dropped to 9 then 8 now 7.5% I've got to admit the Brewers have managed to hold on yo it's unique clean sweet crisp taste. I did a face off against other high strength lagers and it came in first place. It's the number one selling imported lager in Italy 🇮🇹 and I'm told you can get it on draught in Rome.. Top review 👌

Good view mate, little change here n there is good. Good work chap & yh 1.49 you can't grumble Cant go without asking can we do it Sunday

This is the weird thing..... Humans, stigma, association and common misconception.... Those words all go hand in hand with these beers, and when we see someone in the UK drinking one of these ''super strong'' lagers, we instantly think either Alcoholic, poor or both, seriously.... If you are out in the summer and you see two guys in the sun drinking a can of Fosters, nobody would bat an eyelid, you would think ''Yeah, summer day, heat, beer''. But if you walked down the road on the same summer day, and saw someone drinking this, 99.9% of the people would think ''Uh oh, hooligan alert''. What is more strange, is you go and buy some of Northern Monks drinks, they hit the 8% to 9% mark. You drink Brew Dogs Arcade Made or Mr President, and after you few, you think you are fine, then all of a sudden, you are chewing your own face. There are so many more stronger ales, pale ales and lagers than this, and people don't say a word..... As soon as they see this, people judge? Why?

This awful beer was originally 9% abv. It was very sweet with the use of brewers syrup, very cheaply made for the park bench tribes.

I remember Super as being sickly sweet, so they must have reformulated it.

Hooligan soup has definitely come down percentage wise..defo used to be over 8.5%

You’ll need a 4 pack for England v Spain.

I was told by a wine Marchand who olso produced high quality Prosecco wold wide to high end costumers he does not and will not export to uk. Why . Uk government would church him £1 … cork tax … per bottle to import to uk . That’s why bottles have screw tops ………1984 …….

None of the big beer high abv lagers are smooth And as Micky Flanagan said people would have a word if you took that to a party but no one says anything about lasses bringing 15% wine

Yeah i remember Tennents Super being 9 % With Carlsberg Special Brew being the same 9%

It used to be a hefty 9%, I used to prefer Speesh as Trampagnes go

Great Unbiased Review !! Wish I could get them here in the States ! O'Haras too. Originally from Irleand Living in the States 36 years. I really miss European Beer and Bread !! Aint the same here. !!
