Forget your 6 Pack! I've the 4 pack

Back again! Sorry I've been a bit late on posting. Uni work is starting to pile up and can't even afford to have a drink. Hence why I'm back again with this weeks Student edition! I have been to the beer aisles to try and find you lot the cheapest lager available. I have a selection of 4 beers from 3 different shops. Tonight! Our guests are: Morrisons Saver Lager, Hendry's Scottish Lager, Belheather Scottish Lager and the old faithful, Tennent's lager. (I must add. Tonight is a Tinnie edition. No bottle opener required).

First up tonight is Hendry's. I picked up Hendry's in Aldi and only cost me a mere £3.08! However, only weighs in at 3.5% on alcoholic strength. Cracking of the can 6/10. First sip pleasant enough, Solid carbonation and doesn't taste completely awful! Not much else I can say really other than the tin looks like a Tennent's rip off.


Second on tonight's guest list is our cheapest and weakest of the evening! The Morrison's saver lager... £1.76 for the 4 tinnies! Absolute life saver if you're that far into the overdraft. 2% though. Non-alcoholic in my opinion... Cracking of the can 4/10. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... First sip; Bloody Awful! (Other opinions may vary. I've been psychologically damaged by the horrendously ugly tin).

Next up we have Belheather. Splashed out a bit on the saver menu for this one. £3.35 for the Tinnies in Lidl. Weighing in at 3.8% making it the strongest yet. Cracking of the can 5/10.. Rushed it a bit! First sip is good. Definitely the nicest lager so far. Again the can itself looking a bit like a Tennent's knock-off!

Lastly, we finish on a high with the Big Juicy! The old faithful! The Vitamin T! Only costing me £3.59 in Aldi. Cracking of the can was a bloody 10/Tennent's! The absolute pinnacle of can opening. Coming in at 4% it's also the strongest lager of the night! Honestly, compared the others from tonight it is just worth the 20p extra or however it works out. Can designed in such a way that it even looks like a pint!


I think it is fairly obvious the winner of the evening is the old faithful, Tennent's. It is just the safe option. Still cheap and can be bought pretty much anywhere! Prices do vary but rarely exceed the £5 mark for a 4 pack. To finish tonight's blog I leave you with a lesson I learnt from a wise man in the beer aisle when selecting my beers for the evening, "They all get you pished, son!"

Cheers!
