- Chiemseer Hell
- Paulaner Hell
- Ayinger Hell
- Spaten Helles

- Stiegl Goldbräu
- Budvar
- Verdant Putty
- Verdant Lightbulb
- Skinner's Porthleven
Tegernsee and Kloster Andechs are probably my favourites. The Spezials might be the best lagers I've tasted. Slightly prefer them to the Edelstoff.
Schlenkerla I'd not tried before, and I found the smokiness a bit weird, unlikely to pick it up again.
Porthleven is fucking delicious on draught. Love it in a can still, and it's great value.
Putty I didn't get round to trying. Lightbulb is great but I'm increasingly sick of Verdant as a business these days.
Not feeling the Goldbräu so much any more. I wish Stiegl Hell was available at Sainsbury's still, I think that's a really fantastic beer. Like a super Spaten.
Flötzinger is top tier.
Ayinger, Chiemseer, Paulaner, Budvar, Hacker Pschorr Gold: all good beers but kind of middle shelf compared to the best ones here.
It's hard to beat a bottle of Franziskaner in my opinion though!
