I'm not a massive fan of bottled beer in general, but in this unusually hot weather, and after   bit of overheated garden labour, I've found myself swigging large bottles of Peroni (found mysteriously present in cupboard, moved to fridge) and enjoying them bigly of an early evening. There was also a bottle of Moretti in there. It was fine but I preferred the Peroni. I remember that when we were in temperatures of 38 or 40 in Andalucía we drank beaucoup de little bottles of ice-cold CruzCampo, very nice too. I haven't seen that one here. There's a village poolside bar in the Alpujarras that had a gorgeous lager called Alhambra. I think that was my favourite. There's something about swigging from the bottle that appeals. This is going to be a hot summer weather habit only. I'm a novice at this bottled lager lark so tell me what you like. You are not, however, allowed to mention Budweiser, Carling or Fosters or zero alcohol, and it's useless if I can't buy it here.

Cheers!
