Fed up of drinking something that says lager on the tin but is a strange golden colour that makes you think you are supping something else?

Amber nectar has become the pump favourite for many a year and become such a Scottish staple that it sponsors everything from our football teams to our festivals.

But is it a delightful drop or something that you drink when the other pumps have run dry?

Well Scottish brewers BrewDog are launching a Crap Beer Amnesty to rid the country of some the less reassuringly expensive brews on the market.

Over the course of the weekend, its Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh pubs will be allowing the public to come in with bottle, cans and even kegs of questionable taste - and swap it for a free glass of their new brew, ironically titled Fake Lager.

Co-founder at BrewDog, James Watt, said: “For too long lager has been seen as the lowest common denominator in Britain.

“Inspired by the actions of those beer lovers in Pilzen hundreds of years ago, we are outing the drab, over-marketed liquid cardboard flogged as lager in most of Britain’s shops and bars.

“Fake Lager is a statement of intent and the next step of the craft beer revolution. The gates have been breached; the big guns can smell the change is coming and they’re running scared.”

The beer amnesty will take place on Saturday with the rule that customers can arrive with their ‘lowest denominator beer’ and in return receive a free half pint of Fake Lagerlimited to one exchange per person.

The fun begins at 12pm and ends at 5pm.

You miss the bit where they said:

 

*also note, please don't buy crap beer for the amnesty. Steal a bad beer from a friend, a flatmate, a neighbour or maybe Darth Vader. Maybe take your generic beer drinking friends (we all have them) along as an introduction to craft beer and an actual proper lager.

That's fine, just say you stole the asda green label from a friend

How ironic.

 

Swap other mass produced shite and buy our overly priced stuff and get us to the top of the market.

The only time I've ever ordered them was this time last year touring Devon and Cornwall in a 50 yo camper van.

Drinking 2 halfs instead of 1 whole means you get better quality lager.

It also means you DRI no quicker.

Ergho two halfs are big boy shit.

 

But the I tend to drink pints in twenty mins pace, often with a bourbon chaser.
