Tesco V Rolling Rock

Tesco Value Brand Lager

Style- Supposedly Lager

ABV- 2%

Price- 88p for a four pack

Brewed at- the Flaming Gates of Hell (Allegedly)


Rolling Rock

Style- Pale Ale

ABV - 4.6%

Price- Various. I reckon you can score a four pack for around £4

Brewed at- Missouri, USA

Overview
I personally cannot believe something as vile as the Tesco brand lager featured above could make it to the final 16, but I reckon the mischievous amongst you block voted just to wind me up. Brewed, allegedly, from freshly squeezed puppy dogs, the alcoholic content ranks somewhere between water and Dandelion and Burdock. Rolling Rock, on the other hand, is a fine Pale Ale style lager, that is most excellent served ice cold on a sweltering hot summers day. Originally brewed in the small Pennsylvania town of Latrobe, before being bought by Anheuser-Busch, who in turn were taken over by In Bev. It is currently up for sale, as In Bev try to shift some of their brands during the economic downturn

Odds
If it came down to quality, taste and true value for money, there would be only one winner, and in a landslide. Only a brown nose Tesco employee, desperate to condemn his soul for eternity would even consider casting his vote in favour of the beer tasting water masquerading as lager. But my hunch is that there are enough mischief makers out there to see it through to the quarter finals.
