Carlsberg Lager
My favourite 'Session Beer' due mostly to it's lowly 3.8% Alcohol Volume and the fact that out of all the other run of the mill Lager's it tastes the least of chemicals and it's relatively hangover free.
Brewed in Northampton it's about as English as lager gets, everywhere else in the World it's known as Carlsberg Export and has a higher 5% ALC VOL.
No great taste to talk of but still scores a respectable 8.0 MWB because it does a great service to mankind i.e me.
The History Bit:- In 1847 J.C. Jacobsen founded Carlsberg, named after his son, Carl and the Danish word for hill, bjerg, on which the brewery was built, and set out to follow his dream to brew the perfect beer.
Jacobsen's journey first started in 1836 when he tasted his first bottle of Bavarian lager. Convinced that this beer would pioneer the market, Jacobsen made the long journey to Munich, successfully returning with a pot of lager yeast in his hat box. Back home he used his mother's bath tub to experiment with making his new style of beer and after many attempts he decided to open the Carlsberg Brewery."
