Like everything UK. It could lead the world in quality, or could focus on the money through a series of scams. UK Lager is officially worse than stale urine. Well done Shareholders! Making the world better everywhere they go.
Consumers need to take the blame as well, at the end of the day people still buy this crap.
@@DrFod It's not Granny's fault she got home from the supermarket with stale tasting bread sold as fresh bread. It's the Supermarkets fault for pinching a penny where they shouldn't by selling shit bread. It harms a countrys honour. And believe me, it's game over for the piss water industry. The people deserve better, especially after these last few years.
UK lagers except Samuel Smith
Agreed 💯 absolutely disgusting they should be shut down for trying to sell this horse piss
As a real ale drinker, and of choice lagers, these two - lagers Fosters v Carling - are nearly undrinkable. They represent all that is bad with such generic commercial drinks created by corporate drinks companies, bland, insipid & tasteless. They seem popular however, but I would give them equal score of 2/10.
2 is a bit high for these offerings, how about a 0.5 to leave some room for improvement?
@@JasonGeoffrey Perhaps 2/10 was being over generous. I'll drop it to 0.5/10 as it's barely recognisable ale. To be honest, at a party with loads of these ubiquitous cans on the kitchen worktop, I try to avoid the stuff.
Well said
Good beers to clean your 🚽 with, good work
Yes I couldn’t agree more. However they are very popular. And it is because it it tasteless it is popular
Fosters, the Australian beer that absolutely no one in Australia drinks.
@tommykarol yes, nothing to do with Spanish beer.
I saw Fosters for sale once when I was living in Australia in 2006. In the bargain bin of a liquor shop in Melbourne!
Fosters was founded in Australia, by two Americans immigrants. It was the beer I started-out on as a 17-year-old. I would never drink it now, of course! I do remember ‘Fosters Export’, too, which I always presumed was the ‘proper’ Fosters available in Australia and the rest of the world. It’s a bad beer, and must be even worse now the abv has been lowered from 4% to 3.7%
Apparently they didn't drink Castlemain xxxx either.
@@phillipwalker5109 They actually do in Queensland (or at least they were when I was there in 2007).
Foster's: tastes like fizzy water
Carling: tastes like fizzy water with cardboard
Just goes to show what marketing can do when two of the worst lagers have been Britain's best sellers for decades. Why do Brits put up with this rubbish?
Thats Brits in a nutshell, they can be easily influenced with media propaganda. the last 3 years has shown us that quite clearly
Because the average Brit is really fucking thick, that's why.
Simon, ive been watching your channel for well over 5 years and this entire time ive been waiting for this video. Seriously 😂
Best review I saw on Carling, tastes like wet straw!! Brilliant and bang on. Even I draw the line at drinking that. That, is Britain's best selling lager!!! Madness
To think that poor glass once contained Summer Lightning... I moved from the UK to Germany 2 years ago and the difference here in mass produced beer vs the UK mass produced stuff is stark. there is so much good beer in the UK it's such a shame that the mass produced stuff is so terrible. It doesn't have to be like that.
Even drinking a litre of Oettinger out of a tramp's shoe round the back of the Reeperbahn is more rewarding than a pint of piss from a place that used to sell bottles of decent brown ale back in the good old days.
I only think English beer is the best in the world. Any book about beer has a high regard for English beer( just read the late revered Michael Jackson's books on beer), but the mainstream lagers and John Smith's that are drunk by the majority are utter trash. Something has gone wrong with the education system, because the choices, we make as consumers are instrumental in making this a better or worse world. Supporting the unprincipled, money grabbing corporate behemoths churning out this trash is detrimental to this world.
Summer Lightning, bloody good stuff, used to drink it in The Anchor in Godalming over 20 years ago,still miss it.
Enjoyed this Simon😂 Both these are dishwater quality fair play. The old Carling Premier at 5% back in the day was palatable as was the Fosters Export at 5%.
You can tell Fosters is a bit better look at the colour , its made using real beer , Carling is the sort of shit you buy if you want a bad hangover and have no money lol
@@christineayres7199carling wont give you a hangover tbh, at 4% ive drank 15 cans on more than 1 occasion
@@Nerfkilla carling is 3.7% abv despite saying its 4% on the tin. I would need about 30 cans of the stuff to get razzled.
@@Nerfkillait’s 3.7
Carling is the lager equivalent of John Smiths@@christineayres7199
I really feel for you with your neighbours, Simon but at least you've been able to laugh it off. When I first started going to pubs some years ago Carling was my go to beer. I really enjoyed it. You couldn't pay me to drink it nowadays.
it definitely used to be a decent beer far better than it's current form especially when on tap.
Yes same, was she using a house vac or a garden vac? What's up with her drilling stairs??
5:48 At this precise moment - "Hello darkness, my old friend..."
The lower ABV is being called Beerflation. It's because on 1st August, beer duty will change and will be calculated directly related to the alcohol content. So obviously the lower ABV the less tax is paid, so most commercial breweries are lowing their ABV's
Another way to shaft people who like this muck.
You are a brave man taking yet another bullet so that we don't have to! I remember when Fosters first came here in the 1970s. It was imported from Oz and came in a large can ( 740ml 25 fluid oz) and was 5%. It was quite sought after. Then it came to be brewed under licence and the rest is history...Carling was originally a Canadian import in the 1960s (I was too young to drink then so I don't remember the imported version). Then it came to be brewed here under licence and - you guessed it - the rest is history... I would only drink these if it was very hot and there really wasn't anything else. I'd seriously consider water as an alternative! Farty beers exactly right! Why do so many of our fellow Brits drink this crap? Truly cant understand it. Thats why "fake" foreign beers can get away with it they are better then this swill.
I remember the large cans of Fosters too. A completly different animal from today's swill. Good for partyies too as you had to make fewer trips to the kitchen.
As for Carling; if you can try and get the South African brewed Black Label as it's very similar to the Carling I remember from my youth.
Carling Black Label also available in South Africa. Total different beer, with 5% ABV
Lucky ba❤stard 😂🍺👍👍👍
I like Castle lager (5%) and Windhoek (4%) from SAB.
Everyone’s got a mate who loves Fosters
always find your reviews great, would love to see you do a proper blind taste test where you don't know which beer is which until the end with all the crappy uk brewed lagers, maybe hide a lost lager and some of the authentically brewed equivalents in to see your impression! try and guess which is which
I'm sitting here watching this with a chilled bottle or two of Henry Weston Vintage, 8.2% (I live in Dorset, we have to drink cider by law) and I just want to give you a hug, you brave, brave man. Nobody should have to endure horror like this.
They don’t have a law to drink and they got beer
Great review Simon. Use to drink Fosters Top when I was 18 before I saw sense and switched to ales. These are cooking lagers at best
Enjoyed your video , now where did I put my Castlemaine XXXX ?
i agree i use to drink carling in the 80s when it was black label great drink now just chuck it down sink
I am English living in Melbourne and you would be very lucky to find Foster's here, it's mainly for the UK.
Is the neighbour banging doors on purpose while your doing review or is that a normal daily occurance.
Exactly, what is he babbling about?
The Fosters we get in Ireland is Brewed in Heineken, Cork and its 4.1% and is only sold in 6 packs of 500ml cans for about €11.50. I know it used to be about 4.5% when I was teenager and used to be so much cheaper. It's also common on draught too at about €4ish a pint.
These are another two that I haven't drunk for perhaps thirty years, but remember that I quite liked them then. In fact, from around the early '80s, when I had my first legal drink in a pub, til the late 90s, when I tended to go more for wine, I'd say that you could pick up a 4-pack of just about anything and it would be enjoyable. Not so now: you have to 'research' everything on the beer front before considering a purchase. Sad times.😢
I'm 53 and have been drinking for the past 40 years and I am pretty sure I have NEVER drunk Carling EVER.
I'll admit I have had a Fosters phase one hot summer in my mid-20s....
At my old pub we used to call Fosters "sex in a canoe" because its f*cking close to water...
I used to quiet like the draft Carling in my local so thought I'd give the cans a try. They were horrendous. I now stick to Peroni or Stella on my Perfect Draft. Lesson learnt.
Both beers not the best but I do enjoy a few cold fosters in a hot summers day 🍺
Trying those two insults to the brewing world on the same day is above and beyond the call of duty, Respect Sir 🏅🍻
A heroic task.
I bought 18 cans of Carling and had to mix it with lemonade its that bad
I'd likely die of dehydration of they were the only two fluids available. Carling smells like smart price dog food, and that's its best quality.
i find it like fairy liquid to smell . disgusting stuff
It’s been a long time since Carling abv was reduced from 4.1 to 4pc, I think about 18 years. But again, about 12 years ago wheat replaced some malted barley, ostensibly to improve head retention but in fact a cost reduction. Since then it’s not changed, unlike Fosters abv cut to 3.7. Both drink differently on draught, with Carling rate of sale per tap considerably higher. Slightly higher ROS in off trade but all price dependent. I’ve worked for both companies in the distant past!
If something is undrinkably bad what are the 3 points for? and if bad beer starts at 5 out of 10 theres not much range to the scale.
Totally agree carling is absolutely rank!
Have you done carling prem??
My mates have been a police officer since 2002 in County Durham/Oldham and he always calls Fosters the fuel of low level violent crime. 😂
It's the same over here in ireland for karpackie or any of the Lithuanian brews that I cant pronounce I drunk it myself at one point and only bad decisions stem from it and the hangover off it is pure filthy
I do drink carling myself can't complain about it really for 7 quid for 4 of them yea can't complain really
Well mate you have done wonders for my beer drinking i wont drink that crap any more give me a augustina helles ! At least through watching this channel i can and have got a good idea whats good and whats not now so a big thumbs up mate 👍
My god........ I'll be restrained as I can.
Not drunk carling or fosters in 20+ years, I remember when carling was 4.1% and fosters was 4%.
These suddenly became lower abv and more chemically tasting.
I was given a box of 18 fosters that was two months past it's sell by date from a family member.
I took it as an insult, and decided to shoot them all with my air rifle. It was my best time with fosters I've ever had........... 🤣
This story made me laugh out loud 😂
3.7%? That's a shandy! 😂
Never tried Fosters here in AUS, don’t think I ever will…
Should of bought the 4 pack and used the rest as weedkiller
This is like comparing piss water in your toilet, to piss water on the side of a building. Great video as always though 👍
Fosters was always my drink when I first started drinking years ago but nowadays I don't go anywhere near it. Far better beers out there.
Love the t-shirt but i would rather have a fosters over Carling any day
In United States foresters are really cheap ! So that being said it’s the best cheap beer we have here on the market in my opinion
You do right - don't get dragged into any negativity this year! Great content, cheers!
Fosters - Texas for beer. It's so, so over here in the states, in the 750 can. I have never has Carling over here, so I can't compare.
Carling actually brew there’s to 3.7% to save on tax and have 4% on the can as they’re allowed +\- 0.5% ‘natural variance’ without declaring anything on the packaging
Why do so many beers decrease in abv in the UK? I remember a while ago you could get a 4% Foster's version and a 5% Foster's version whereas the latter actually is drinkable imo.
I can drink Carling at a push but to me Fosters is just fizzy water.
You need to make a compilation video of all the best "neighbour" moments
What a way to start the weekend! Two tins of piss water! 🍻
If I had to choose I would say fosters but that's not saying much they're both dreadful beers. How they can sell this stuff in the volume they do is beyond me. What a horrible weird neighbour you have you shouldn't have to put up with that, but you did well here.
Yes like you I refuse to drink either of these 2 brands, really awful stuff! 🤮
The sad thing is these tend to be young, new drinkers first experience to alcohol and many never graduate from it. I really pity them, the extra expense is well worth the effort and pleasure.
I enjoy you putting one beer against another and disagree with those who have said this comparison was a waste of time. Your reactions were priceless! I do agree though with those who have said your marks out of ten were too generous. Perhaps you were just trying to avoid being sued !
Cool. The clash of the titans we've all been waiting for!
😂
Bubbles argument only makes sense if you're naturally conditioning your beer, they hammer these with Co2
At least we still have Sheperd Neame. They have always kept it real. I must visit there brewery one day in kent.
I never used to mind Carling but it doesn't taste like it used to I think now I just don't drink it .
Reminds me of a summer job I had incinerating incontinence pants in a residential home for the blind back in the 1980s.
You'd walk home after a long day's work and the whole neighbourhood would smell you a mile off.
Same if you opened a warm can of either of those two in the local park when you were 14. All over your kecks and you'd be scaring off the local stray dogs for weeks afterwards.
As said in few comments no one drinks Fosters down under. Swan is the favourite beer
thankfully channels like yours pushed me to try out ales and german wheat beers totally better ball game there, reasonable price too for better quality beer!
Fosters , tinny tasting water
Carling , water with a hint of beer flavouring
😄
Skol next please.
Yeah skol and kestrel next just for giggles
@@carlrobson5745 I started drinking with Skol £5.50 for 8 500ml cans 😄, it's a bit sweet & weak and I probably wouldn't drink it now but I kind of have the feeling it might be better than Carling & fosters now.
I’d love to see you review high hopes IPA from marks abs Spencer’s. It’s my favourite beer. By burnt mills I think
I'm going to go against the grain here, and I love my German pilsner, budvars and all sorts of delicious beers and ales. But, while not the tastiest, these are easy drinkable, cheap and can be drunk in large quantities to relatively little ill effect. Certainly not for everyone but neither is strong trappist ale, and sure personally i'll usually always opt for a tastier beer. But it's better than no beer and very consistent. Cheap drinkable job doers.
If I went into a pub and they only sold fosters and carling I would ask for a tap water instead.
Out the 2 im choosing fosters all day long. Funny fact my mate moved to Australia to work offshore and i asked him if they sell fosters in. The pubd in Australia he said it is not the beer of choice in Australia the gact they put me ade in Melbourne he said is hilarious 😂
Both awful beers, Foster's export Ok'ish. Still think Skol the worst ever popular non premium lager back in the day. My neighbour loves his Fosters, if I get invited over for a drink in the garden I take some Kronenbourgs. Don't think your neighbour will be so personable though LOL. Nice video.
Hi Simon, These Lagers are the dreggs of beer style beverages, there's loads of this garbage out there, I guarantee these wouldn't last 6 months in Germany, Belgium etc, but the 'Uneducated' beer drinkers in the UK keep them Alive.
Anyway, keep up the Great Work lad & I'm so sorry you're living next to Human Rubbish Neighbours, but these things are sent to try us & test our Strength of Character, luckily you're a strong minded bloke & beautifully rise above it.
Well Done Lad.
like choosing between dog and cat shit .......
I've been told, on good authority, that the recipe for the very first British brewed Fosters was written out on the back of a beer mat in a pub by Peter Mauldon, founder of Mauldon's Brewery of Sudbury, Suffolk, at the time when he worked for one of the large national brewers.
Best lager is on your t-shirt 👍
The review we've all been waiting for......🤪
Two lagers I would never dream of drinking....the only good thing I recall is the old adverts from the 80/90s...Paul Hogan for Fosters, or the two guys for Carling Black Label.....
And not forgetting Fosters Funny The Fast Show. (A revival with the brilliant Paul Whitehouse originally exclusive to Fosters Funny on RUclips).
Great reviews , confirmed my exacts thoughts haven't touched these two in years and never will again.
just thought you should know i’m crying with laughter at your carling review and subsequent face. You had me at farty 😂
Here in America Fosters is 5% and is sold in 750 ml cans. 👍
750ml 😮 I'm going there 😂
Carling. Was a decent pint. 10 years ago. Its like. Half. A pint. Toped up with soda water. Total. Pi!! Now.
Could Carling actually be the worst lager in the world?
If absolutely stuck for choice, I'd choose Budweiser over these. Completely tasteless, but better than low ABV tinny pish
I remember Foster's as the stuff that got me onto drinking bitter and from then on to 'proper' beer - basically the first pubs I went in generally had either Foster's or a bitter (usually Webster's) and after deciding that pissy Foster's really wasn't hitting the spot and was giving me hangovers, the transition was made.
Interesting to note that we're back to 440ml cans now. I thought 500ml was the standard now?
So accurate with the comparisons. Carling on draft is bearable, in a can it is terrible absolutely terrible whilst Fosters is drinkable in both forms not that I would ever pick it but if you had to.
I'd rather drink from the Trent itself.
Generally speaking our water doesn't do well for lager, but you can treat it........... or not.
Hello, the glasses aren't 'beer clean' which in turn causes the product to cling to the grease in the glasses.
I remember places like B&M ages ago doing Fosters Export. Maybe late 90's at 5%. Remember that being a decent lager.
Hey si
Fosters lager is rare but still available in Australia it’s quite nice and still brewed at 4.9% abv.
Then there’s a off shoot brew called fosters classic brewed at 4% and it’s more closer to the Uk or American styles of the beer.
Fair play for putting yourself through that
Small tip, Melbourne, the Australian city, is pronounced "Melb'n". Fosters was actually a thing way back, I'm talking 70's, but really only in the state of Victoria where it was made. It was my favourite lager in those days of just beginning to find out about beer. Fosters also made an "Export Stout", which way back then wasn't all that popular, but was my favourite alternate tipple when I was a student in Melb'n as it had that bit extra flavour and body you don't get from a lager. It wasn't really a traditional stout, it would be called a porter these days. A portergaff, or two, made from it was particularly good at Sunday lunchtime to help with the hangover from Saturday night.
mate you're not french quit with the fancy names of your cities
Think I'd just go to Aldi for some Rheinbacher Pils if I wanted some cut-price lager ... which come to think of it, is exactly what I do!
Sitting here watching this review and there's a jumbo jet taking off, actually it's the washing machine in the flat upstairs. Its been known to take off at 6am and very late at night, dont live in a flat below someone please Simon! As for the those so called beers, i'd rather drink water....
It may be just me but I find any beer in a steel can seems to taste metallic, aluminium cans not so. Also bottled beers seems to taste better than cans. I have heard that brown glass is better than green glass for beer. This is a great channel keep it up please.
Does anyone remember Ind Coope Burton Ale ? Used to drink it on cask...good pint with a nice hop flavour...that was a good ale... What happened to brewing in Burton-on-Trent ? Marston's Pedigree and Bass used to be a good pints back in the 80s...where did it all go wrong ?
Yes. I used to love ICBA. No idea what happened to it. They even did canned.
Have you done a review on bass ale 🍺 yet?? Loving the channel
Fosters UK version must be a lot worse than the US version. Ours is 5% and not at all “musty” as you described.
Being in the U.S., I've never seen or even heard of Carling other than your mentions of it. I wonder how it compares to the Bud/Miller/Coors mass produced 's'h'i't here. Fosters is most famous here for their funny commercials in the 80s and 90s.
Here in America, Fosters is pretty good for a cheap beer. It beats Budweiser and other macro beers.
The US version is stronger and thus a little better. But not much.
I'm a touring musician, and one of the privileges of the job is free beer. We have "No Fosters, Carling or American Budweiser", writen into the contract...
I used to drink Carling years ago but about the time it got to over by the Americans, i started to get horrendous headaches after a few, the same with Coors, coincidentally owned by the same brewery.
So funny. Nobody drinks Fosters in Australia!
Pretty funny that Fosters has "Melbourne" on the can. Maybe once upon a time it was here but I could count on one hand the number of times I have seen it for sale in my 20 years of adulthood.
I did see some cans of Fosters in a bottle shop in St Kilda in 2001, so it did exist at some point though VB and Melbourne Bitter were the main brands.
My worst two lagers. Been drinking ales for about 10 years but still drink lager if I can't get anything else. Would rather have a water than these two. They are up there with cobra (rather have a kingfisher)
Original carlsberg or bud light have got to be worse but these are bad.
As soon as I saw this I had to watch it, I think I may have drunk Fosters once in my life, Carling never. It's good to know I haven't been missing out in life. Sorry about the problem neighbors, nobody needs that.
Haven't watched the review yet, but I'm going to call it for Carling.
I stand corrected!
