    I remember having my first pint of Birra Moretti back in around 2011/12 when I was 19 and it was a phenomenal beer back then. I can only guess that back then it was imported. Seems to me that as soon as Heineken gets their hands on a brand they turn it to piss.

    According to 'Rate Beer', Birra Mapelli is brewed at Carlsberg Lombardia, Italy.

      It was the same for me with his review of 10 lagers and the Tsingtao came only second by a whisker. I can't now believe I might be buying a Chinese lager in preference to buying British, but British breweries I feel have let us down badly for donkeys years. Don't know why anyone would buy Fosters, Carling, Stella (not unfiltered) or similar when much better beers are available at reasonable prices. Even FeldSchlossen is good by comarison to the common brews and that's as cheap as chips. (not that chips are cheap now)

    Aldi are very clever at eking out the best value, Moretti likely has a huge advertising budget to tack on top of the costs so the Aldi beer actually probably cost more to make, so for that reason I’m not surprised it tastes better.
    With branded items you’re just paying for the labels and packaging to look pretty and to see your favourite product on the telly; you’re not usually paying for better quality products. But people swear that things like Heinz are more premium than own brands. People will never learn. Yes I know Heinz don’t make beer 🤣

    I refuse to buy fake European designer beer on principle - they're not only dishonest & overpriced but are almost always underwhelming.
    Got no problem forking out for the knock offs (which ironically _are_ actually imported) every now & then though - they're generally better!! The Lidl version is actually their best standard range lager these days.
    Cheers Si!
    Edit: well maybe the knock offs _aren't_ imported 🤷🏿‍♀️

    Not just me that thought the Mapelli was nice. Although it was playing with my head a little because I was shocked by how good it was for the price. The Italian brewed Moretti is head and shoulders better than the UK brewed stuff. And lots more choice as well with many versions available in the super markets over there.

      Happens with pretty much all imported beers. The business plan is to introduce UK drinkers to the original foreign beer and once we get a taste for it, switch to a cheaply brewed UK imitation beer and hope nobody notices. Clearly many people don't notice.

      Cars would be basically the same car and getting people hooked on the original car ala beer doesn't really work in. The scenario.
      Bait and switch withing the beer industry is a tactic used extensively in the beer industry, especially withing the last 10 years.

      @@mrchico2621 Why would a blindfold be required? This is beer tasting not S&M. The reason you give is exactly why it should be done blind. Simon got it wrong and his prejudice influenced the result. Both beers are brewed in Britain. A word of advice, never drink beer blindfolded. If you're tasting lagers and some are dark then you need to normalise your test; i.e. removing the dark ones and tasting them as a separate category. No blindfolds please, the eyes matter in tastings. Takes a huge ego to assume you can't be fooled by yourself.
