Pistonhead Lager

Country of Origin: Sweden
Brewed by: Spendrups Byggeri
Brewed in: Grängesberg, Sweden



The can scared me a tad but nothing to fear as this is a friendly nice and crisp lager with malty hints, well carbonated making it pleasant to drink. 



Good strength at 4.6% ABV, would drink again but reckon the manufacturer would do better with a bit of rebranding as it looks like a novelty drink and it's far better than that - 8.1MWB. 



COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Crafted in our brutal brewing workshop. The Kustom Lager is a smooth, no-nonsense brew. It’s dry hopped with cascade and amarillo hops to offer a spicy citrus edge. Plus it’s organic, and it glows in the dark, need we say more."

Didn't realise it glowed in the dark!!! Would only be fair to prove this, better buy some more.

DIEBELS Alt Beer

Country of Origin: Germany
Brewed in: Issum, Germany
Alc: 4.9% ABV


'Alt' meaning 'old' is a dark beer traditionally served cold. Very malty in taste but this is balanced by the temperature its served at. I'm a great fan of Altbeer as this is the drink served in the 'old town' in Dusseldorf which I visit every couple of years on training courses..... which loosely translates to getting drunk whilst occasionally talking about our product. 
MWB 8.8



COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION"DIEBELS Alt is brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516. Under this "Reinheitsgebot", only four ingredients are allowed: Barley malts, hops, yeast, and water. The dark-roasted special malt lends DIEBELS its unmistakable amber glow.Dark and Delicious. For a dark, flavorful beer, DIEBELS is surprisingly light and drinkable - a beer you can enjoy all night long. It isn't bitter like many ales, and it doesn't have the strong aftertaste of certain
