As They Say In Spain Manyana = Tomorrow , Cruzcampo Gran Reserva Review , Judas Strong Blonde Review

[@MarcusWainwright]

Great review Simon thank you for sharing

[@danielgray5158]

I was in Madrid in July and only discovered the Gran Reserva (on tap) at the airport bar waiting for my flight home. It was probably my favourite beer of the entire trip!

[@cbowen01]

Your Budvar shirt reminds me, Lidl have the kegs back in for Xmas for those interested.

[@TrancetasticWilza]

The disappointment as you read the word Heineken. 😂

[@jonnyhallsworth]

They used to do the cruz campo gran reserva on the sub. I got a torp and hated it at first, but ended up being gutted when I finished it. Nothing really hit the same on the sub after that.

[@jasonthrash4357]

I find any lager with a high ABV is usually kind of rough around the edges. Ales seem to do the high ABV much better. A good lager for me is around 5%.

I buy local beers and eat snacks in the sun on holiday too!

Recently had the good fortune to be in Turin on Saturday and managed to sniff out a craft beer pub. St.Bernardus Christmas Ale at 10%. Lovely drop.

I turned up late for work four times this month and every time, it was too many Monster Munch the night before . Think I've got a bit of a problem . Nice review Simon. Aldi were doing a nice Gran Reserva last year at around 6% can't remember the brand though

[@Fliprov1983]

It was Rossini because I absolutely hammered it, was a nice beer, gutted when they stopped selling it,

[@KeefsCattys]

@@Fliprov1983 Thanks mate . Yes , Rossini. Absolute nectar !

Good vid 👍

Top fermented - lager????

[@richardwalsh879]

Yeah right!!

[@NoEscape1]

Manana. No Y in it. There ya go, i knew my 1992 gcse in spanish would come in handy 😅

[@jeroenjb2008]

I think this Cruzcampo beer was available in torps for the beer machine (can’t remember the name)

[@powder40]

Would be great if you could do a review on the Peroni Reserva I seen this morning on the shelf in Morrisons haven’t seen that beer before love all the lager reviews they are fantastic

[@jasonpratt927]

Cebada is barley

[@niclassamuelsson9226]

What the heck is a top fermented lager? Top fermented = ale!

[@bsmith6646]

Cruzcampo isn't considered a great beer in Spain though. If you want a great beer Alhambra is a cracking brewery, Reserva 1925: is what you want 👌

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

It’s is

[@martindooley4439]

Our local Tapas bar/restaurant serves Alhambra in pots. Lovely

[@robrn1975]

Spanish beer will never be the best, but it makes refreshing malty dry lagers that can be sessioned. What's not to love

[@stephenhoggarth2043]

I'm fairly sure Cebado is Barley. Apologies if that's already been pointed out and I missed it.

[@sammy4583]

Sure I seen the Gran reserva in my local Home Bargains..

[@andrewsteer8860]

On the Belgian beer. Dubbel and Triple are Trappist naming conventions, if this isn’t an abbey beer it would not use either name. It’s not ‘getting on for a dubbel’ because it’s the wrong colour for a start. If anything it could be called a Belgian ‘strong ale’ which is what most non-Trappist 8+% golden beers would be called (think Duvel)

[@andrewsteer8860]

Even if it does contain maize, it can still be an all malt beer. Maize can be malted just like barley.

[@TimK2646]

Celebration of the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge 80 years ago right now, Belgium and Luxembourg. The Allies won of course but Simon still has the Bulge. Tribute to all the heroes.

[@Rich.Aardvark]

If they picked a traditional English beer and brewed it in Spain, would it be rubbish? I think not

[@MuratErdem-k2w]

You started your Journey 15 years ago

[@WolfmanWoody]

Have the Belgians ever brewed a dreadful beer? When I've worked over there we would go to bar/restaurants for lunches and have a local beer of around 4% ABV and it was still very palatable; just the thing for lunch so you didn't sleep in the afternoon. I think any Belgian brewery producing stuff like our breweries do would soon be out of business.

Chapter arts Centre in Cardiff used to sell Judas behind the bar. I got myself into trouble drinking it years ago. Loved it ever since!

[@Rich.Aardvark]

Tastes better when it's from your Dad!

[@louisbeerreviews8964]

Judas isn’t lager
