Great review, just subscribed. I have been a guiness or whisky drinker for years. Bought some budvar recently as i saw it on offer. Fantastic stuffl. Love pilsner uquell as well now when i want a change. Going to try the m&s one as well based on your review. Cheers!

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@997steve thank you its very much appreciated, I honestly would drink any of the four and was pleased surprised with the M&S Lager, cheers 🍻

[@gingeryetiroadbeers]

I have had the other three and do enjoy them, but I have never heard of the M&S beer. Great Blind taste challenge!

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@gingeryetiroadbeers cheers I am assuming that the Czech beer is only brewed and imported to the UK for M&S but I reckon they will brew the same beer under another label for export to other countries 🍻🍻

[@robrn1975]

All stunning beers

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

Cheers 🍻🍻

[@thehoppytraveller]

M&S has Zatec hops apparently - never heard of that one. Might give it a try this weekend.

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

Dan its alright and it was nice as it wasn't over carbonated and had flavour👍👍🍻🍻

[@allthebeernoidea180]

I had a feeling you'd know the urquell. I know your a big fan of it

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

Yep I do like that beer 🍻

[@alid8646]

i havent heard of that M&S one, interesting! id agree with you on staropramen last, im not a fan personally. Urquell is defo my fav! havent had budvar in a while!

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@alid8646 the Staropramen Czech Brewed is not a bad beer but Pilsner Urquell is another level 👌, cheers 🍺 🍺

[@ilcorvo9559]

It’s the exact order I suspected. tbf. The eventual winner was always going to win. I think I’ll go and pick some up from majestic for today’s football!
The strangest thing for me is, I’m 31 and I always remember in my younger (pre beer nerd) years Budvar being readily available in shops (whereas the others I hadn’t heard of). It sat there on shelves with fosters, the fake Budweiser etc and I was none the wiser. Can get it in cans from my local off-licence now, such good value!

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@ilcorvo9559 I have to say before I got to understand beer I always thought what is that Budweiser fake drink, oh how wrong was I, these beers become better in the can, enjoy mate if you grab some for the football and enjoy, cheers 🍻

[@ilcorvo9559]

@@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews yeah exactly the same, like it was a knockoff Budweiser (ironic given it’s the other way around!). My family still look at me strange at gatherings if I bring a 6 pack of Budvar rather than drink fosters.

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@@ilcorvo9559 I know that feeling for sure 🍻🍻

[@SlurpyDave254]

Ha ha that was my half time treat..I'll have to get a bottle of Urquell. Never had it..I had Budvar on tap recently, couldn't get any flavour out of it. Good half time entertainment for me..cheers Mr B😊🍺🍺

[@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews]

@SlurpyDave254 cheers, if you ever get chance to have Pilsner Urquell on tank that is where it's at for that beer, it ain't yellow fizzy water it's got lovely notes of caramelised malts 🍻

[@DonsBeerReviews]

We wanted to see you in your budgie smugglers 🤣
