Chapel Down Curious Brew

I'd give it a go if I ever saw it in a shop (£1.49 single bottle price according to the website). I'm fairly sceptical though, as in my book there's only a certain level of "good" you can get from a beer, especially from a lager.

They do a porter and an IPA though too.

 

Evidently you've never had Tipopils.

 

Yup, I've had it - it's actually rather nice. It's hopped with NZ varieties, particularly Nelson Sauvignon, so it has an interesting aromatic white grape & melon sort of flavour. Not sure I'd personally consider it the best lager ever, but it's miles ahead of macro stuff. I guess my ideal lager would conform more closely to a true pilsner (hopped with noble varieties).

It is (or was) available in Waitrose, that's where I got mine. They introduced it within the last year or so....

 

I have not.

Apparently one of the main differences is that it uses champagne yeast too.
