Tesco. I take it, that you do not like it? I don't mind it, it was just the best choice that they have...

To be honest, I couldn't say. The Amstel brewery was bought by Heineken 40 years ago. They kept Amstel as a B-brand for a while, but I think Heineken stopped brewing Amstel a long time ago. Apparently, they've resurrected the brand (I was surprised to see advertising for it). I couldn't comment on the taste.

Re: The what are you drinking now thread
You've been able to get Amstel around here, on and off, for years now.
Strangely, I looked at that page earlier, when I saw Heineken on the label.

Ah, it was well-known in Holland up to the 70s, but I think it left the shelves in the early 80s. I was quite surprised to see it sponsoring Sports events lately. Apparently, Heineken kept the brand alive outside Holland.

Amstel sponsored the Champions League for quite a while, before it changed over to Heineken.

Re: The what are you drinking now thread
I'm just starting to cook Sunday lunch and opened a bottle of Californian juicyred from Asda to add to the gravy, couldn't resist a glass and it's beautiful.
I got it a few weeks ago on a 2 for 1 offer and only paid £3.68. I don't know much about wine or grape varieties but this is really smooth and plummy and , ... I'm just going to have to have another glass to see if i was only imagining how nice the first glass full was.

Re: The what are you drinking now thread
I'm seriously thinking that adding any to the gravy would be a waste. Now where did I put the Bisto.
