If I'm drinking lager, it's usually whatever's cheapest, which is usually Holsten Vier or Carlsberg. Tuborg is alright. Carling and Foster's are cheap, and taste cheap. My favourite lager is Heineken, but it's pretty expensive. As for ciders, usually whatever is on tap (often Thatcher's). Strongbow is a smurfing horrendous cocktail of unholy darkness that doesn't even taste like cider anyway.

On the whole, I'm a real ale man. If you've heard of it, I've probably tried it. British stuff, anyway.
