Augustiner Helles
For years, Augustiner Helles was one of those beers British lager drinkers spoke about with an almost irritating level of reverence. You could find the bottles in specialist shops, German beer halls and the better-stocked pub fridges, but drinking it on draught usually meant getting yourself to Munich. That changed in November 2025, when Augustiner…

Stiegl Goldbräu
Some beers are easy to recognise but surprisingly difficult to track down when you actually want one. Stiegl Goldbräufalls into that category. Its red-and-white branding occasionally appears on London bar tops, particularly in pubs with strong European lager selections. Unlike the mass-market continental lagers occupying permanent lines across the capital, however, Stiegl Goldbräu is not…

Alhambra Especial
Some lagers announce themselves loudly. Alhambra Especial doesn’t really bother. It’s one of those beers that starts appearing on taps almost subtly — first in a couple of food-led pubs, then a few beer gardens, then suddenly you realise you’ve been ordering it repeatedly without ever consciously deciding to. And that’s probably the point. Alhambra…

Brugse Zot
Some beers are built for sessions. Others are built for moments where the evening slows slightly, the conversation settles in, and the pub suddenly feels warmer than it did an hour ago. Brugse Zot sits firmly in the second category. Brewed in Bruges, Brugse Zot has become one of the standout Belgian beers to properly…

Paulaner Ur-Dunkel
Most dark beers in UK pubs fall into one of two camps: stout, or something trying far too hard to be “craft”. Paulaner Ur-Dunkel sits completely outside of that. It’s a proper Munich dunkel – smooth, malt-led, and quietly one of the most satisfying beers you can find on a London bar when it’s pouring.…

Leffe Blonde
There’s a certain type of pub where Leffe Blonde just makes sense. Candlelight, dark wood, maybe a fireplace somewhere in the back, and someone at the bar slowly committing to a pint that definitely wasn’t meant to be necked in ten minutes. Leffe Blonde occupies a very specific lane in British pub drinking. It’s often…

Double Diamond
Double Diamond is back — but not in the way most people expect. For years it lived in the memory of British pub culture more than on the bar itself. A name tied to old-school advertising and a different era of drinking. Now it’s quietly reappearing on taps, popping up in pubs that care about…

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…
