Fosters Lager alcohol content...

It is indeed Scrug. Not a bad place to live to be fair. A1079 can be a bit tedious at times but other than that it’s fine. Good rail links to Brid, Scarbados, London and Sheffield. And the Wolds are a hidden gem.
A pretty racecourse, and historic Minster, what more could you ask for!

I’ve spent a lot of time in the Lincs Wolds (if that’s what you mean) and agree they are very much a hidden gem. Don’t seem to attract as much interest as Lakes/Cotswolds or even Peaks/Moors/Dales. Can’t really work out why.
 
Controversial opinion but… I actually prefer a lager closer to 4%. 4.4% is the sweet spot but also thoroughly enjoy a day on the mid strengths around 3.7%. Like the taste and prefer quantity over quality, your generic Peroni at 5% is too strong for me.

Madri is not remotely Spanish. Rebranded Carling with no connection to Spain, but fantastic branding. Your real Spanish lagers are Estrella, Mahou and Cruzcampo. Even San Miguel is similar to Fosters, which is drunk literally nowhere in Australia (you can get Castlemaine XXXX in Aus but it’s niche and only really found in Queensland, everyone drinks Furphy or Carlton Draught.)

I liked a nice tinny of VB or Tooheys New when I was in Australia.

Both mate, East Yorkshire and Lincs wolds.
They are both beautiful in their own way, with some pretty villages that normally contain a decent pub or two!

Isn't Madri a Coors brand?
It's true its got absolutely no connection to Spain whatsoever 🤣

Molson Coors bought a brewery in Spain and used it to produce their rebranded/improved replacement for Carling. Sell it is a 'Madrid beer' and the people lap it up. It has no history whatsoever in Spain and if it is in on sale there at any point it will purely be for British tourists.

Carling/Fosters brands are now finally almost dead and are both 3.7% now. Weird how long those two brands lasted though, they had an absolute stranglehold on the market for decades.
 
Hoegaarden with orange and coriander is where it is at for me - mind,it HAS to be icey cold. So I always have frozen glasses in the freezer ready. Plus those fruity Ciders - quite partial to a crate of those.


Bought up on Marstons Pedigree and 6X ( 1970;s )- don't think I could face those now
