BOTTLED LAGERS

Below i have put some bottled lagers that are worth a try, lager itself gets such a bad name and reputation this is because in my opinion that lots of people tend to associate it with young people and the trouble it causes. These lagers come from all over the world and they seem to be some of the best i have tasted. They are now becoming more available in the main supermarkets , but they tend to be a little bit more expensive than the most popular lagers. There are also some online shops where you can also buy these beers , just have a look around and d'ont forget the delivery charge that is added on to your purchase.
