Fred Zepplin Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 is it nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Never tasted it before, I must get a few cans pre festival in the interests of research, i will soon find out if it’s crisp bright and refreshing as they claim or if it’s just pish.

Olshansky Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 As someone who lives in Brooklyn, I will never get used to seeing Brooklyn Lager in the UK and Europe. It's not bad - It's also not my favorite. American beer tends to be sweeter than it should be, if you ask me. Brooklyn isn't one of those American sweet beers. It's a standard middle of the road lager, that I think we all choose when we're unfamiliar with what else is on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma girl Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 I had a few cans of it at the weekend and it's not bad, hopefully it's available on all the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauceageroll Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Whilst not a world beater; it’s very drinkable. Just glad we’ve not landed up with Carlsberg or some other pish water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Its better than Carlsberg and Tuborg. All in, a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoScot Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 This is a win! Much more palatable than the dross they have been serving. Although the ABV seems to be less than the North American version unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Same brewer makes them all - carlsberg, Tuborg and Brooklyn (someone find that Duff Beer pic with the huge brewing vessel piping off into three vats 🤣) but I’m glad they’re sending some of the alright stuff instead of the dreadful pisswater 👍 Edited May 3, 2023 by balti-pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Mouse Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 It's a W. Its not amazing but it's light has a decent hoppy taste. It is significantly better than Tuborg/Carlsberg as said previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukemack Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Never been a fan of Brooklyn Lager, never had the Pilsner version though (if its any different mind😂), got to be better than Tuborg/Carlsberg though, I'd happily bring far less cans with me if ai knew I could get a decent pint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Happy with that, not my favourite but more drinkable than Carlsberg! I like to start with a couple of beers before moving onto cider - its a perfect balance for me, whereas cider too early and I struggle to maintain. I won't touch spirits as I've got no self control... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briddj Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) 4.6% is quite strong for your mass service lager! EDIT: Just seen Tuborg is the same. Edited May 3, 2023 by briddj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiggy553 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) The list of brands they own is endless. I didn’t realise they owned Grimbergen or Wainwright. both of which I’ve enjoyed in the past, not sure if they’re still any good now.
