    For the "anything goes" stuff, normally Asda or Tesco - they have branded beer and lager for 50p a can or less most of the time. They tend to swap around a bit - Boddingtons/John Smiths/Tetleys beer, Carlsberg/Fosters/Carling lager.

    And don't forget a couple of bottles of sweet sherry for the ladies...

    be warned, brahma is branded as if its imported but its uk brewed so is not worth the same as imported such as corona or bravara. I only buy it when its on deal like sainsburys/morrisons £5 or 12 a couple of months ago. If you get a voucher code for tescos or asda they usually have a deal on corona (2 x4 for £7 or 2 x6 for £9), my last order worked out at just under £13 a case (24), hard to beat if you like the lager.

    Whats bravara like, how can brahama be called a brazillian lager when its brewed over here

    When i first tried brahma which was last year it tasted nice but ive had a few packs this year and it seems to taste different, could be me i guess,

    i also wanst aware it was brewed in the uk, i thought it was imported


    Couldnt agree more !!! I was buying this stuff like it was going out of fashion last summer from Netto on a special deal. It was obviously the imported stuff as it was lovely (and that comes from a bitter/stout drinker that doesnt drink a lot of lager).
    Bought some from Tesco on a deal last week (ironically still more expensive than the genuine import I had had the year before) and it must have been UK brewed as it definitely didnt taste as nice !

    Will check the packaging next time !

    I agree with you on the ale bit. Lager is full of chemicals = hangover. People may scoff but try homebrew bitter (not lager) - it is amazing; cider is cool too (with ice ;) ). Top tips:

    - Clean everything and rinse it well
    - Use finings
    - Use CO2 (like the old sodastream bottles) to keep it - it will last 6-8 months
    - Get loads of beer nibbles in as you are about to become popular
    - Sandals and white socks not required....................

    ' Brewed under licence' tends to cover this.
