The ones that others buy you .....perhaps

[Apollo]

Tony likes Mahou Negra. And you can get Vodka 75cl for €3.95 in Mercadona or 1ltr for around a fiver in hiperdino
Vodka is pretty cheap most places though.

[ramnit]

Tenerifes own brew Dorada

no any thats like the brand names with out the price tag ha like in ireland the tesco one is nice but the tesco value is like paint stripper!

[Apollo]

Im confused, you WANT name brand or you dont?

If you do then Spanish Style is great
If not then my original post stands

[mini--c]

sorry i dont want branded vodka but i want something that tastes the same or near enough if u get me! anything taste the same as smirnoff? or hino in beers?

[Apollo]

Hmmm, been ages since I had it to be honest. Dont have the cash for it.
The one I got in Hiper Dino looks very similar, same bottle etc and is pretty smooth - not hangover causing if you get me

God, I sound like a right alckie!!

That reminds me, I must go and check on my vodka filled watermelon :)

[mini--c]

i think i no the one ur on bout near same name but not ha! cheers its for herself so she doesnt spend all the money in the one nite! also are cocktails dear?

[Apollo]

Cocktails can be quite dear, just depends on where you go. PDLA area will be costly but you will be able to find them for between 3-4 euros. Cheaper still if you go to a non touristy place but you might have to talk them through it :)

[CMEdinburgh]

For me - Estrella Galicia

But the REAL best beer is the one you enjoy most, whatever the brand. On a hot day, the best beer can just be the one the nicest bar sells.

[Alivee]

In my opinion you can't beat a pint of San Miguel in a frosted glass !

:cheers:

[marbro8]

tbh any local brew is nice san miguel,dorada, tropical and they are all stronger than carling, do not waste 3-4 euros on imported european-english beers because you can get a pint of local beer for 1.50 euros(make sure you ask for local when ordering),and the local spirits are cheap and taste ok my wife likes the peach shnaps and she only usually drinks archers

[obs]

If you have to ask, you can't afford it !!:crazy:

[slodgedad]

When I moved to Tenerife in '94 all I ever drank was Guinness, hated lager.

Thankfully, at that time, the Guinness was crap and extortionate and I discovered Spanish beer and love it.

As it's lager beer I thought I would enjoy lager when I went to the UK, but no. Fizzy and weak.

OK if you live in the UK and then come here, but the other way round it's like shandy.

DORADA RULES OK!!...and Campcruzo and Reina and Mahou and.................I could go on forever.

I've travelled the world and all points west in the UK and the best advice I ever had, before becoming an alcoholic was; Drink what the locals do.

[imablue]

Ice cold bottle of Reina.... get some of them down your neck and you won,t be bothering about cheap Vodka ...:cheers::cheers:

[tonypub]

your taste buds will get used to the regional variations of beer pretty quick.first pint,sh it.second will be better etc etc till your tenth,then it will be beautifull amber nectar.same as when you look at a woman really,the more beer you drink,the better lookin they get.:spit:

[doreen]

I'm not a beer drinker, so would be interested on views about Amstel.

[julieann1069]

[onelegnofeet]

Just found this out last night it may be of use ..........VIVOS is offering 3 drinks of your choice plus 2 shots for 10 euros ,drinks include Cocktails ,spirit and mixer ,bottled beers ,alchopops ,cider .IMO thats good value especially as you can sit and enjoy the fantastic WILDBOYZ .

[tonypub]

I'm not a beer drinker, so would be interested on views about Amstel.its not a local cheap brew,its a middle of the road quality beer,a bit upmarket to dorada:spit:,estrella:spit:,riena :spit:etc but if the price is right:cool:

[canarybird]

Reina has also been the favourite local beer of our German friends.

[mini--c]

thanks guys will defo try some of them, last time i was over all i drank was cider so was costing me 4 euro a pop

[slodgedad]

The strange thing is 'the other man's grass etc.etc' syndrome seems to apply everywhere.

Most of my Spanish friends drink Heineken and look down their noses when I have Dorada...Weird or what?

[celtic2thecore]

I drink dorada when i'm over its quality.

Beer followed by Beer, any colour, variety, smell, taste or price......................its good to try.
As for preference, a beer with a sunny view. Sorted.

[Goldenmaniac]

Dorada just got an international award -don't get it personally prefer Reina but there you go! :)

Locally produced Dorada Pilsen beer, Dorada Especial and Dorada Sin (non-alcoholic beer) all received gold medals in the International Institute for Quality Selections, Monde Selection 2011 competition..... http://newsinthesun.com/?p=4951

Got to be Dorada Especial, but be careful it's got a kick.:drinking:

[candy2411]

Got to be Dorada Especial, but be careful it's got a kick.:drinking:

I agree, Dorada Especial is a great drink and de-stresser as well! Quite enjoy Reina as well.....pity can't buy either in the UK, or have I just not looked hard enough??:cheers:

Haven't found Dorada in the UK but have found Estrella in Tesco....!

[candy2411]

Thanks karina, does it taste as good in the Uk? I once brought a bottle of 43 Licor over but do you know it didnt taste as good over here........obviously doesnt travel well...could be something to do with the climate and ambience , or lack of ,over here!

[karinagal]

Properly chilled on a nice sunny day sitting outside - almost!!

[kieraj]

43 licor with a drop of milk is lovely tastes just like a milky bar, we give our friends milky bar shots and they love them x

[Chicharrera]

Deffinately Dorada, but I always prefer red"Pilsen".

[seanocelt]

its not a local cheap brew,its a middle of the road quality beer,a bit upmarket to dorada:spit:,estrella:spit:,riena :spit:etc but if the price is right:cool:

Agree here, Dorada always popular with the expat locals, but many European countries know Amstel , known for quality.

[with cheese]

AMSTEL is surely Dutch.

Blimey is this the **** heads thread

[Angusjim]

I think I would like any beer that Young Golfer buys but have not yet had the pleasure of tasting this yet:cheers:

[seanocelt]

AMSTEL is surely Dutch.

surely is.......being marketed in Tenerife.

[ddoyle]

Carfore own brand beer 21c a can or new beer in Mercadona think it is called Askandia €2.88 for 12 cans very nice chilled.

[marbro8]

Thanks karina, does it taste as good in the Uk? I once brought a bottle of 43 Licor over but do you know it didnt taste as good over here........obviously doesnt travel well...could be something to do with the climate and ambience , or lack of ,over here!a lot of foreign beers are brewed under licence here in the uk so will not taste the same,typical examples are stella and san miguel, they are 5.2% and 5.4% respectfully in their country of origin but over here they are brewed to 5% because of our rules on drinking responsibly ???, for gods sake it has got to ruin the real taste!! they are idiots, so up untill rescently i have been buying the imported san miguel from my local asian retailer who now informs me that it is no longer available because the government are clamping down on the imports of strong beers???

[honda]

Only two kinds of beer....... Good and excellent. :cheers:
