By Rocky | September 3, 2007
Carling is recognized as Britain’s biggest selling lager beer, some say it is popular due to its well balanced flavor and thirst quenching refreshment but others say its because its cheap and the beer of larger louts. Either way it’s a popular drop. The beer is very strongly marketed with live music and sport in particular football. Carling is today owned by Adolph Coors the US brewery who produces Coors. The beer itself has a fruity taste with a light lemon zing it’s a strong golden colour with a little froth and like most English beers a little flat tasting. So next time you are in an English Pub ask for a pint of Carling and try it for yourself.

When it comes to meal time down at the local pub things are a little different around the world. German’s enjoy a bratwurst, American’s enjoy spare ribs, Australia’s pubs have just about always got a Chicken Parmy on the menu and in the UK nothing is tastier than a Toad in the Hole to wash down that pint of lager. The Toad in the Hole is a tasty mixture of mashed potato, caramelized onions and some nicely grilled sausages all put together in a Yorkshire pudding then covered in rich gravy. Most of the pubs do it and it is absolutely delicious.
