Carling OR Castlemain XXXX?
2007-02-26 04:57:48 · 21 answers · asked by Fay 5 in Food & Drink ➔ Beer, Wine & Spirits
I manage a pub. At the moment we have Fosters, Stella, 1664 and XXXX but the brewery are insisting we have Carling instead of XXXX. I've asked the locals and now i'm asking you! Which one is better?

i used to work behind a bar for 7 years, I'm also a lager drinker.
i love xxxx, but it tastes similar to fosters, Carling has a whole new taste.
so make a choice between the fosters and the xxxx, and so your customers don't feel too hard done by, get in the Carling extra cold, that is a lovely pint trust me.
at least this way you have a good variety of lagers with different tastes, though ultimately, this is up to you.
I'm only talking from previous experience with a similar problem.
good luck!

Myself and a lot of other people I know prefer Carling. It is dissapointing when you go into a pub that doesnt sell Carling. My Uncle owns a Pub and Carling is in fact one of his best sellers. So go for it!

Well I'll drink your Stella or Kronenburg, but if you didn't have a premium lager I'd go for the "cold gold". Carling's a pretty thin taste to me. OK?

The xxxx really does stand for an obscenity! Carling's not much better.

well they are both crap but carling is the uk no 1 followed by fosters and carlsberg, so i guess xxxx aint that popular. for premium lager stella is no 1 followed by kronie 1664 and grolsh. san miguel is brewed here, the best imports are budvar, amstel and bitburger.
