Tennent's Super - Strong Lager


This Scottish strong Lager was aquired and consumed in the last night I spent in Padua, Italy, I remember a few friends and a lot of as-known people sitting and talking while the bar was closing due to the late time...

The interesting part of this story is the point where this as-known people start a burp competition, and all the men involved in it had to bow their heads to this girl... she could burp louder than most men I've met, and was proud of it! The fact that I don't properly know her, probably will never see (or hear) her again, the lack of memory and my courtesy, prevent me from telling her name, but man, that girl has lungs and a strong diafragma!

Besides all this, this is a 330ml bottle of the 9,0% scottish beer that provided that italian girl the gas necessary for all that belching. Produced by the Tenent Caledonian breweries, that now belong to the giant InBev.

Bulldog - Strong Ale


This Scottish beer was bought in a supermarket in Italy. My favorite top-fermented beers (ales) are usually the belgian ones, but Bulldog is a pretty good strong ale.

One might think weird finding this 330ml 6.3% british strong ale in a supermarket in Italy, but the fact that Scottish-newcastle brewery was bought by heineken explains it pretty well.

Unfortunatly, while searching for the brewery's website, I was always redirected to heineken's website, which for my surprise does not show bulldog strong ale. So here I post the link that will end up redirecting you to heineken's website, if you have success finding bulldog strong ale there, please let me know!
