    If it's brewed in the UK than you can't really do a beer battle cuz your not drinking the proper version it's the UK brewed version. So UK brewed Vs UK brewed battle

    Love these comparison videos. I've just had a mad idea......to celebrate Euro 2024 this summer, maybe get a beer from each of the 24 teams that qualified, put them into their 6 groups, and compare a group each day. Then, the top 2 from each group go through, as well as the 4 best 3rd placed beers from the 6 groups. Like the football, then do a straight knockout & see if the beer tournament results are anything like the football results.

    I really enjoy these versus battles (and your videos in general, Simon 🙂) - in my local Sainsbury's, they sell six packs of Dutch-brewed Heineken in cans, which offer a completely different (and much better) taste. Of course, the beer still won't be to everyone's taste, but I'd imagine it'd be a lot more authentic, and like what you previously reviewed on the Blade. Maybe a review of the aforementioned canned version versus a canned non-UK San Miguel would be something to consider (I don't "think" you've previously done this, but I might be wrong)? Anyway, cheers!

    If the Heineken can or bottle says 'brewed in the uk and Netherlands' then its uk brewed. If it only says 'brewed in the Netherlands' then it's brewed in Holland and is usually better. As far as i know its only the 330ml cans that are not uk brewed due to lack of demand, and stores like Waitrose used to actually call the 330ml cans 'Heiniken holland' on their app/website for this reason. Would like to see you do a uk vs Holland Heineken.

  • @alansinclair7659
    @alansinclair7659 2 месяца назад

    I think Heinekin was the first beer I ever had back in 1960. I was 14 but big for my age so could get into the local, plus the landlords didn't care much about underage drinking back then.
    It was in a half pint bottle and I had it with a dash of lime. I don't remember draught lager coming out until a few years later when they served Carling Black Label in my local.
    I never really liked Heinekin and soon switched to proper beers like mild, bitter and porters.
    Lately I've come to detest Heinekin and what they've done to some English brewers. Newcastle Brown Ale is a prime example. It used to be a beer that I really liked but now it's just undrinkable. I don't think being brewed by John Smith helped it either.
    As for San Miguel, I don't care where it's brewed, it's just awful. Too sweet and sickly.
    When I go to Spain, I look for Mahou Maestra Dunkel or Amber Negra. A much better alternative to the usual insipid lagers.

  • @brianwood4483
    @brianwood4483 6 месяцев назад +1

    Try and get hold of some Heineken brewed for the Irish market. It’s 4.3% and in my opinion far superior and balanced compared to the 5% stuff over here. As for San Miguel, awful stuff, rough dirty beer.

  • @Forestgravy90
    @Forestgravy90 7 месяцев назад +1

    I personally find Heineken much better than most UK brewed lagers, it's not a great beer but doesn't have that metallic watery weird taste things like Carling or Madri or Moretti have. I personally think people go in with a negative mindset just because of the brand being scummy macrobeer corpos. It's tolerable for a mass produced lager especially on draught in summer if no other decent option is available. Clearly isn't a quality product with it just using hop extract but at least there's no adjuncts or alternative grains like rice or maize to save costs ie budweiser and peroni. It's ok.

    I decided years ago that if a beer comes in a clear/green glass bottle, I'll buy the can version. No skunkiness. Heineken, brewed here in Cork, Ireland tastes different than the UK I buy in the North of Ireland and it's different from the Dutch Heineken also sold my local off licence.
    Heineken is Irelands best selling lager, but it's 4.3% and very distinctive. It's actually tastier than the 5% UK brewed Heineken for sure. Even on offer, I'd rather buy the Irish Brewed Heineken at a lower ABV, because of the water quality it's brewed in. The same water Murphys and Beamish is brewed in and was for so so long.
    The Dutch canned Heineken in my local off licence is really malty. It's not as crisp as the Irish brew, but it's definitely sweeter but hoppier.
    I'd definitely send you a Dutch Heineken & Irish Heineken to compare with UK Heineken to compare.
