Jupiler or Maes are worth seeking out though if that's all that's available. As for Spanish lagers, Italian lagers, Mexican lagers or for that matter any lagers other than Czech or German - why?

Then go for a Duvel and see where it takes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella was a much nicer drink when it was 5.2%, its been watered down to 4.8% and is not as nice now. Jupiler is 5.2% I believe and is a very nice drink, never seen it available over here though which is strange considering the amount of advertising they do at champions league football games. Its interesting as I am not a fan of German lagers at all, yet enjoy Italian lagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
