    I had my first can of Beamish last night, and it was lovely, far superior to draught Guinness from a can. A pint of bottle of extra stout will always be my first preference, but I can see myself picking up more Beamish whenever I pop into Aldi.

    Try some Köstritzer if you see it.

    Köstritzer is owned now by Bitburger, probably the biggest brewery in Germany. I had a pint of it in a pub here in Germany at the weekend and could only be described as piss. For German dark beer you'd be better with an altbier like Diebels.

    Not if you're after something at the stout end of the spectrum, I'd have thought

    We don't get Diebels here, as far as I'm aware. I've seen Frankenheim Alt once or twice. Porterhouse Alt is pretty good, but if you're a stout drinker going to the Porterhouse, Wrassler's is the one to order.

    They are two different beers, one been and alt and ale (ish) and the other been a Schwarzbier lager. I have had a few nice pints of it around one especially in Belfast
