Starnberger Hell
Starnberger Hell is one of those lagers that’s suddenly everywhere – and then nowhere.You spot it once on a bar in London, tell yourself you’ll come back for it, and two weeks later it’s been replaced by something you didn’t ask for. That’s the problem with a beer like this. It’s not Guinness. It’s not…

Murphy’s Stout
Guinness may be the headline act, but Murphy’s is the stout that quietly wins people over. It’s one of Ireland’s great pints – Cork-born, properly smooth, and criminally underrated in UK pubs considering how many stout drinkers claim they want something “a bit different”. Murphy’s sits in that perfect stout lane: dark, creamy, and easy…

Guinness
Guinness isn’t just a beer – it’s a standard. It’s the one pint people don’t just drink… they judge. Creaminess. Head height. Head retention. Temperature. Even the glass. That’s exactly why Where’s My Booze is so good for Guinness drinkers. With WMB, you can rate the pour of every beer at every pub you visit…

Beamish
If Guinness is the global default, Beamish is the stout people talk about after they’ve graduated from the obvious order. It’s a proper Cork stout, loaded with Irish brewing heritage and a reputation that’s grown louder in recent years – partly because it’s excellent, and partly because it’s so hard to get your hands on…

Allsopp’s Pilsner
Long before lager became the default order in British pubs, Allsopp’s Pilsner was already part of the story. The Allsopp name carries serious weight in UK brewing history, tied to Burton-on-Trent and the early adoption of continental lager styles at a time when most British drinkers were firmly wedded to ale. Allsopp’s Pilsner today trades…

Doom Bar
Few beers are as woven into the fabric of British pubs as Doom Bar. Once a standout Cornish bitter, it has since become one of the most recognisable cask ales in the country – for better or worse, depending on who you ask. Originally brewed by Sharp’s on the north Cornish coast, Doom Bar found…

Beavertown Neck Oil
There was a time when ordering Neck Oil felt like a statement. What started as a calling card for Beavertown quickly slipped beyond the craft fringes and into the mainstream, turning up on taps in locals, music venues, and high-footfall pubs across the country. Neck Oil’s rise mirrors a wider shift in British drinking habits.…

Hobgoblin
Few beers have a presence quite like Hobgoblin Ruby Ale. With its unmistakable pump clip and deep ruby colour, it’s been a fixture on British bars for years – a beer that sits firmly in the collective pub consciousness whether you actively order it or not. Hobgoblin Ruby Ale occupies an interesting space in the…

Fosters Lager
Few beers are as instantly recognisable in the UK as Foster’s. For decades, it has occupied taps across the country, embedded in the fabric of British pubs to the point where it feels less like an import and more like a local constant. Marketed as Australian, Foster’s long ago outgrew its origin story. Its real…
