Cobra

While I was over brick lane way last week I also stopped into one of the famed curry houses for a bit to eat. Ok well I had more than a bite but I also had a couple of beers to go with it! The first was Cobra (5% abv) which claims to be the best beer in India, but I suspect that my pint was brewed much closer to home! The beer is a nice bitter lager and doesn’t leave any nasty chemical like aftertaste which some generic cheap lagers can give you. This may be why it is billed as a ‘premium’ lager? But that doesn’t really mean very much when it comes in a cheap curry house. This beer was nice and refreshing and hit the spot just right with a nice korma. The bitterness was very pleasant and stood up to the heat of the curry nicely. I think this is now my preferred curry house beer.
