The water is so hard where I live it’s asked me for a fight twice
Mahou in a frozen glass with a bit of tapas , one of life's absolute pleasures
Yeh mahou probably the best. I used to live in granada so i have a soft spot for alhambra especial too
Mahou definitely the best for me in Spain
If it is not brewed in Spain it is not Spanish.
Agree my friend. It’s 💩 if it’s brewed in England and I am English..
Spanish lager is one of the best.
Qué?
Always think these type of comparison should be done blindfold to completely eradicate any preconceptions
Agreed. ALAW 💛💙🤍
@@JustifiedAncient Spot on. MOT
Why don't you set up your own RUclips channel and do exactly that. It would be easy, right?
@@nigelwatson2750 calm down billy bob.
That would be so much better
I remember drinking Victoria 20 years ago near Malaga, and only found a few bars that served it, it was exceptional back then, and to my delight i found in Lidl and it never disappointed, excellent Spanish larger ….also for sale in B&M and only £1.85 a bottle, grab them while you can
It's big again in Andalucia
Whatever you drink it tastes better on a Spanish beach in the sunshine….
Great review… enjoyed the pronunciation. I really like Estrella Galicia, it is very good quality.
Simon that was entertaining. I sat through the video and got educated. I will drink anything if I enjoy it. I have 20 bottles of McEwan's Champion in my shed thought you would like to know that. I shall definitely be looking for those two Spanish brewed lagers this week end. I really didn't drink beers till I found your channel about five years ago . Well I thank you for introducing me to a fantastic world of different beers . If we ever meet one day the beer is on me. Thanks for your honest reviews you have never let me down . I even enjoy the Tramp juice I love the terminology. Keep up the good work. Colin.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Simon!
Glad you mentioned Tropical. Its big in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura......took our lad to Lanzarote last July. We found a lovely bar with stunning views where it was €1.50 a pint. Enjoyed sinking 4 or 5 in the afternoon
Your lager comparisons are my fav videos thanks
And mine 👍
There are better things in life.
This guy doesn't know how hilarious he is 😂 brilliant review, I'm going to give Victoria Málaga a try 😎
Was in Seville last week and the cruzcampo was nothing like the piss over here. The especial was a cracking pint too
Same here when my wife and I went there, had an Estrella in the big gardens from a little cafe that was less than €2 and it was amazing. Same as the San Miguel I tried from a hut on the river, completely different to the crap we get over here.
Curious! Cruzcampo is deemed as one of the worst beers here in Spain. It's the butt of many jokes.
The most popular ones in Spain are Alhambra, Mahou and Estrella Galicia
@@sirPUNKsirto be fair I mostly drank the especial which I thought was great for the price. The standard stuff was still not bad but much better than what’s brewed over here
@@sirPUNKsir I wasn't that fussed on the Cruzcampo.
@@sirPUNKsir I find the authentic Cruzcampo very metallic as well, so it probably wasn't just the can in the video, but the recipe regardless.
I like an Alhambra Reserva.
Great video Simon! I'm Spanish and I totally agree with you. All these beers (except Madrí) are widely consumed in Spain
You’ve probably already tried it but just in case you haven’t get hold of a bottle of Estrella Damm Inedit. It’s a Spanish wheat beer and is absolutely delicious, probably my fave beer. It’s sold in some supermarkets.
An excellent winner 🏆 The brewery is on the outskirts of Malaga and if you’ve not been to that city a great craft beer scene and a wonderful spot 👏
Great reviews and comparisons. I’ve ended up buying beer based on your best one out of a group. Thanks, you’re a friendly gent too, super channel.
Another man speaking for the corporate industry or WHAT ?
Really good video Simon, well done. Definitely more in the series please? Italy next?
A man speaking for the corporate industry or WHAT ?
Explain
Great video Simon. I love a good beer battle.
I'm leaving Spain as u drop this video Simon and Malaga Vic is my go-to spanish beer in the UK and here in Spain is no different,solid beer and 6 cans for 3.99 euro! Had a few mahou un filtered that was quality! Having arrived at Gibraltar for port I'm drinking an old spec hen ands it's nice to have something not so carbonated! Time and place for everything haha
Great review Simon ! Usually pick up an estrella myself 🍻, Caroline Ireland
Aguila on tap... Was drinking that a few weeks ago over there... Spot on!
Picked up a bottle of Mahou from Home Bargains on the weekend. 660ml for £1.79 and 6x 330ml cans pack of Victoria Malaga for £6! Both absolute bargains!! Along with some Efes Draft, Star, Love Lane ales and lagers, Peroni (red)… Home Bargains are absolutely killing it for proper imported beers and always rotating the selections too.
Also should point out the abv on the Mahou I bought was 5.1. Odd that the 500ml bottle in the vid was 4.8 ??
4.8% is called mahou classica in Spain and is branded green.
@@tweez7817they reduced it recently so will have been old stock
That was my favourite personally before you started the review, we both have good taste 😁👍
Another great video. You know just for sheer curiosity I would like to see a British lager comparison video.
great vid keep them coming
Wonderful absolutely wonderful. Off to Spain on Sunday to drink REAL Spanish lager. Great video Si. Great to see UK Mahou and Victoria Malaga are still brewed in Spain. 🇪🇸
Brewed in Spain for the UK market, which is a lower ABV unfortunately. But better the UK brewed stuff.
@@WillsandiCorrect Amigo!
@Willsandi uk mahou is now mahou classica which is drunk in Spain. They've made it red like cinco estrella though, to confuse things.
@@diskopartizan0850 I was not aware of this, I much prefer the classica so will be buying this when I see it.
Drinking mahou on the perfect draft at the moment. Got to say Im Really enjoying it. The Belgium stella was always my favourite but now it's uk brewed it's not even close.. another great review cheers Simon.🍻
Used to drink Mahou (Red Label, not Green) on draft in Spain (lived there 15 years). Tried virtually all of the others but none had the "hoppy" taste of Mahou Red.
Few beers I need to try after watching this, Thanks Si!
Fantastic video mate, think id have to agree with your analysis there.
Sick o pants from the industry are rewarding their toy-boy.
Great beer battle, thanks again.
Got through a few Tropicals on Gran Canaria recently - v nice.
Funnily enough, when you first started the video, I was hoping you'd pick Victoria to win. Bought 2 bottles last week and they went down an absolute treat. So think you've nailed the comparison right on the head 👍🏻 great video, ❤ Dave will be raging tho 🤣🤣🤣
I am a barman in the north of Scotland and I really like learning about some of the beers you review. Helps me out at work since I drink Ales/Heavy, I cant stand lager. Keep up the good work!
I love Scottish wee heavy beers.
I would say
1) Estrella
2) Mahou
3) Cruzcampo
4) Victoria
I have never come across San Miguel or Madri in Spain
Guessing its regional thing. Where I went it was pretty much San Miguel or Mahou in most places, then Galicia or Damm in a few places, Alhambra, Cruzcampo, Victoria, pretty much nowhere.
The bottle recycling containers must be overflowing down your street. Excellent video
As a Brit living in Spain - I definitely enjoyed this video. I've gone through this debate numerous times with locals and internationals, so here are my takeaways: 1) The Spanish brewed beers are still being brewed for the UK market, local versions will be closer to 6% ABV, people here prefer to drink higher ABV, but less volume, 2) Madri is a UK only beer, 3) The general consensus is that Estrella Galacia is the best macro beer after taking away regional bias, but Alhambra is another one that comes up a lot, 4) Either way, your ranking is still pretty accurate, Cruzcampo is often the butt of a joke here. If you ever want to repeat the exercise with real Spanish beer, reach out and I can bring send you some cans over next time I'm back in the UK.
was in lanzarote in Feb (first time in spain) and one of the highlights was simply trying all the beers lol. Galacia was one of the stand outs
Absolutely loved that. Yes, beer battles are the way forward.
Thanks Mister Corporate Brewer representative troll.
Ive just sat & watched you , you are fabulous, i spent my birthday drinking Draught "Victoria Malaga" beer in my locla pub, i totaly agree with you its crisp refershing & very very drinkable Ive seen the "Mahou" in our local co op which i will now try. Thanks for a great Video cant wait for your next one.
Sick o pants following this fraud I see.
Excellent video. It is like being in mate's kitchen talking and drinking beer. Smooth and drinkable. Well done.
Love the big sighs towards the end. It's when drinking beer has become a chore and a job :)
I grew up just round from the brewry in fountainbridge Edinburgh great memories and the smell from the brewry always takes me back I can smell it of some beers I drink today very distinct, btw Tennents Super "Breakfast of Kings" "Central heating for Tramps"
Great video mate. Pretty much agree with you on this but I think I may have swayed towards Mahou in the end.
Victoria Malaga is an absolute star of a Lager! I'd highly recommend Malaga City as a place to visit for a holiday too!
Fuengirola is lovely cheap to
Agree, perfect at the weekend in Malaga and a short flight from the UK
My favourite there is also Victoria Malaga.
In Buxton where I live, there's a very good Spanish bar/restaurant, which has just about all those in draught and is the first place I tried the Victoria and the Galicia.
Another one regularly in there is Rosa Blanca which you can also get Morrisons.
Originally in bottles, but now also available in a can multi pack.
It tastes a tad smoother on draught and is possibly close to the Galicia, taste wise similarly more akin to the bitterness of a Czech Pilsner.
Tbh I've never noticed if it's a Spanish import or UK brewer.
I suspect import, but I'll check today and see if I can pick up a couple of bottles of Mahou, which I've never tried.
Great video by the way, I'll look out for more.
When I lived near Manchester I brewed my own bitter and had it in a keg by the fireplace. It was popular with my mates and I loved it. We moved to Lincolnshire, a hard water area and I couldn't brew a decent beer to save my life. It was only Boots home brewing kits I used, but I ended up pouring them over the lawn.
Can't you buy Buxton bottled water or similar, and brew from that?
Yeah brewing with tap water is not recommended
Water in lincolsnhire is terrible. Not a brewer myself but i would imagine it could be a nightmare when brewing largers etc.
I think some of Batemans stuff is good. XB , XXXB etc
Move to Sheffield. A soft water area.
@@matthewrussell8590 I agree, those particular Batemans brews are decent especially the XXXB
Estrella Galicia is something I drink here in Ireland and was possibly the best commercial beer to come out of Spain when I lived there.
Good vid - Are they 'authentic' though when the ABV is less here? Estrella Damm 5% over there Galicia 5.4 San Mig 5.4
If you want authentic Spanish you only really get it in Spain.
Personally find there's nothing wrong with the San Miguel over here - at least while its 5%.....until they wreck that too!
Love it Simon😊
On Holiday last year my wife and i stopped by a bar the locals were drinking tropical came in a green bottle ice cold went down lovely the fish lunch we had
Genius review...living in spain 11 years, my scores too and ranking to the letter. Mahou classic in green can would be up there, less heady than mahou premium next day. Alhambra Especial from grenada a top lager too. Cruz campo is like soda unless you get CC especial. Estrella dam nice bitter tuesday night quaff. malaga victoria hit and miss
Simon, great review, I've just brought 5 bottles of Victoria 660ml in B&M £1.50 a bottle, happy days 😀
Good tip!
Bargain
You’re a good bloke and interesting to listen to
Great review! I lived in Spain for four years (Andalucia) and can concur that the native brewed versions are a different animal. Amstel was ubiquitous as was San Miguel - both reasonable enough to wash down the tapas, but where available I would choose the Cruzcampo and Mahou on draft as daily drinkers and was never disappointed.
Another local beer I really enjoyed was Alhambra - brewed in Granada. Not sure if that is available as an import but would be worth a try if that's the case. This was the beer of choice to take home in cans from Mercadona.
On Madri, I first tried it a couple of years ago in my local and it was okay but nothing special, and wasn't impressed enough to get the store version. Finally, Spanish Cruz is the antithesis of the Burton variation. I think my friends in Cordoba would die inside if they knew this imposter was being sold as a Spanish beer.
Agree 100% with you on that. Malaga #1 Mahou #2.
Good to see Estrella commit to providing us with Spanish beer with the advertising and the launch of Victoria Malaga over here. I doubt it will end up brewed under licence. At least we have a few options now unlike a few years ago where basically San Miguel was the only fake Spanish beer available. Prices on the Estrella is good as well considering its imported. My local has Victoria Malaga on draft for £5.40 a pint.
If it sells well in the uk, they will start brewing it under license in the uk.
loved this beer review
Cruzcampo is brewed in Tadcaster North Yorkshire at the John Smith Brewery. Madri is also brewed in Tadcaster by Coors (or at least the keg version is).
Victoria Malaga is my goto beer absolutely love it.
Burtonisation - brilliant!
They have Mahou on draft in my local pub😊 I 'm guessing the draft version is also from Spain because it tastes stunning 😊
Estrella Galicia is the best 5.5% abv in spain its superb on tap.
For me I would Give A Estrella Damm a 3rd place Because it's still smooth for Estrella galicia for me it's malty & coffee taste for me but for Victoria Malaga is lovely I've try it for the first time it is Nice xxx
Estrella Galacia is my favourite spanish lager - I didn't know for quite a while it was a brewed by a separate brewery to Estrella Damm.
Will all taste similar… l am fortunate to live in Bangkok where there’s three lager type beers Singa, Leo and Chang all very acceptable and no more than £1.50 a pint if I want a sexy craft beer it’s even more expensive than Uk with import laws but some Thai breweries are really upping their game lately…
Great content 🙏👊
I love Victoria Málaga. I first tried it in Lanzarote and was immediately impressed by it. I've bought it ever since. I get it in Lidl or home bargains in the UK and it's readily available in Spain, Mallorca etc in all the shops. Not seen it much on tap in Spain though.
Simon you also need to try Estrella Galicia Gluten free, its 5.4% also
I used to drink San Miguel all the time and always had banging hangovers. No I rarely touch it but I do have Estella and never feel as ill
I loved Tropical Cerveza when I was in the Canaries. You can't get it in the UK which is a huge shame but I have seen some tropical for sale online for an expensive price like £30 for a pack of 6. I guess thats holiday makers bringing them back to sell.
For me Tropical is too light and not much going on with taste. I'd rather drink it's rival Dorada Rojo which has more flavour but is slightly on the sweet side though.
The Victoria Malaga is actually one of the cheapest single bottle lagers in Lidl.
Hi mate , just a heads up , went to my local B&M store in Grimsby today (18/06/2024) and they are selling the Victoria Malaga for £1:50 a bottle , just had to try a couple of bottles after your great review . Hopefully it will be the same price at your local B&M as well , I'm going back early in the morning to grab a few more at that price , cheers , Gaz
San miguel is very nice on a hot summer day, the Spain brewed version
Mahou my fave. Home bargains did 660ml bottle for 1.79 what a bargain. The Malaga is ace too.
I was in Alicante last year and tried San Miguel Magna, 5.5% and it was gorgeous, I was shocked!
Great comparison, can we have more of these please?
Total commercially corrupted BOLLOX.
I’m T Total now but I still enjoy the beer reviews!
What a great video. I am Spanish from Malaga, and I am happy you rated Victoria. It is available in every bar where I live as it is our local lager. I am also a massive fan of Mahou, but the green Mahou, not the red as you had here. It is a shame the green one is not available in the UK.
I am also glad you rated Cruz Campo so poorly, it is not a good lager here either.
I was in la coruna 2 weeks ago, where they brew estrella. Lovely jubbly drop with a tapas
Estrella is from Barcelona. Edit: oh hang on, Estrella is from Barcelona but Estrella Gallacia is from La Coruna
It's the same company. Clues in the name. Duh -
No, different breweries. Estrella Damm is brewed by Damm and Estrella Galicia is brewed by Hijos De Rivera
Just did a vid of the main 6 spanish lagers on a trip to port de pollensa. The 2 Estrellas were top with San Miguel n spanish Amstel at the bottom😂
I was drinking Cruzcampo in Sevilla last month and on my return home, bought a couple of bottles from Morrison's. Tasted bloody rank in comparison.
Does the head size matter much? Depending on how you pour it you can get different size heads and also the nucleated glasses can affect it as well.
Las Damm son las mejores.
Try AK/Bock/Voll Damm. They're great too. Also Turia, Moritz 7, 1906, great beers.
Brought some bottles of mahou in home bargains tonight and they’re 5.1% 😋
I really like the Victoria Malaga , I might have to go out and get a few now 🤣, not tried the mahou I’ll give that a go sometime too
2 places near me have Victoria on draught. It sells very well.
Speaking to colleagues in Madrid, they say that Victoria reminds them of going on holiday.
B&M have the 660ml Victoria Málaga on for £1.50 a bottle, scooped some up today 😁
I spend a lot of time in Spain and it takes time to adjust to the UK crap larger,
Estrella Damm is also excellent, the double ll in Estrella is pronounced Y in Spanish so it's Esrtaya to us
“Estrella” just means “Star”… so the 2 Estrella beers are completely unrelated….
Both ‘Damm’ beers will be Spanish brewed and bottled in Bedford…..
You say how it is my friend don't let them take that away from you keep true xx
Interesting video. One point though, surely Victoria Málaga is brewed in Málaga.
I love Voll-Damm but it is difficult to get in the UK, so I go to Tenerife 3 times a year 👍
You should try Turia from round here in Valencia. I think you can get at Aldi or Lidl. Agree about Victoria Málaga which on tap on my local and also Mahou, particularly the green Mahou.
Lidl sell the Victoria Malaga
I am very lucky in my town as the local ship opens at 5.30 am. I often have a hair of the dog wen I feel rough in the morning.
I always ask for Estrella Galicia in Spain and its very easy to get cheap here too (Majestic)
The Victoria Malaga wow I was surprised at that although I need to try that one 😊
I discovered Madre beer last summer and it’s the best
Lidl got a load of the Estrella Galicia in at the moment 👍 it's good stuff 🍻
San Miguel is originally from the Philippines and Madri is British lager marketed as a Spainish one.
I went to Lidl once, to grab some butter on the way to work. There was some stuff called Schlumph or something like that. I wasn’t sure if it was butter or mastic 😏
Why would you take butter to work?
FUKKSAKE. The people here......
I don't drink much lager these days but if I do I tend to get Estrella.
Many people dont know that San Miguel is really from the Philippines
First time I went to Phillppines, probably about 20+ years ago, as we drove out of the airport there is an enourmous Sam Miguel plant. I'd drunk it many times in Spain before but had never realised it originated there
