Superbock

RATING > 9 - by ADRIAN PRICE | Date > 2004-08-28
I went to Portugal in June, as i always drink Stella and Kronengurg i thought i might give the local Beer a try. The first beer i tryed was Super Bock and i thought it was excellent. So i think the rating you have given it at the moment is poor.

RATING > 6 - by Colin Boswell | Date > 2004-09-12
I was recently on hoiday in Portugal and thought Superbock hit the spot and Superbock Green was also a refreashing beer too.

RATING > 9 - by John | Date > 2004-09-27
Served in a chilled glass, Superbock is by far and away the best beer I've ever tasted.

RATING > 9 - by frank wilson | Date > 2004-10-02
as i'm partial to a little beer from time to time i was pleased to find one that is as good as any i've tasted back home.so much so i've brought one back for a final taste. ahhhhhh.

2003 Portugal 1 Finland 4. Superbock 10! AYE!

RATING > 10 - by Jarmo Kosonen | Date > 2004-12-14
Eh, that was 2002 of course. But still 10 for Super Bock

BEST BEER EVA! Speically Superbock green 11 out of 10 sooo good

RATING > 9 - by Carl Simpson | Date > 2005-03-09
Good full flavoured beer with a reasonable strength, not as good as Danish beers, as there's IS the best in the world. Visited both Portugal and Denmark several times, and admit our beer in England sucks compared to both these places!

RATING > 10 - by shirley marriott | Date > 2005-04-07
Super bock is as good if not better than it's name! have just come back from portugal 3/4/05 and it is the cleanest, freshest taste i've had in a long time. grrreat!

I don't like the taste of this beer.

RATING > 9 - by Nicholas | Date > 2005-05-22
Went to Portugal 2 weeks ago Tried Lots of different types of beers and SuperBock was by far the best and at 20 Pence a bottle in the supermarket excelent Value for money Superbock was the one for us .

RATING > 10 - by Kevin | Date > 2005-06-17
I'm in Portugal often and always look forward to tall glasses of Super Bock to go along with my deep bowls of clams and garlic. Just got back and I am looking to find the beer on line to import home.

RATING > 7 - by N Charlie Collins | Date > 2005-06-18
Very rich flavor, but, finishes a bit too heavy on the tongue.

RATING > 10 - by Paulo Ferreira | Date > 2005-07-05
Definately the best Portuguese beer. Best taste best everything believe me.

RATING > 10 - by Nick | Date > 2005-07-21
This is so damn good... I tried it five years ago in Porto and I still Google it to try to find out where I can get some in the States. So delicious!

RATING > 9 - by Dez | Date > 2005-07-23
Great gear, great price. About 50p a bottle in the bars, more like 20p in the supermarket.

RATING > 10 - by Robert Readings | Date > 2005-07-24
I went to Portugal on holiday this yr. I do not normally drink most lagers because of the chemical alcohol but was very surprised to find a tasty, strong and natural beer in Superbock. Didn't get drunk but didn't realise strength until I saw it on sale in U.K

RATING > 10 - by Wayne | Date > 2005-07-25
Well i'm a lager drinker at home, started on the super bock lemon when i went to the al garve, this is the stuff of gods!!!! They tend to serve the normal super bock in restaurants, this is quality as well! GO FOR IT, DRINK THE NECTOR

RATING > 9 - by Igor Presl | Date > 2005-08-01
Better is only Slovene Zlatorog beer. I've tasted even Cuban Bucanero (great regardless conditions) and Finnish Lapin Kulta, but... no dubt.

RATING > 10 - by Rachel | Date > 2005-08-09
loved the lemon super bock easily drinkable and refreshing

RATING > 10 - by Roy Needham | Date > 2005-08-10
Have been going to Oporto every year since 1986 and have always been drinking Super Bock and have grown to like it more as the years pass, after trying various others beers from around the world. This beer must now pass as my favourite, especially as it is now available in the UK.

RATING > 10 - by George Silver | Date > 2005-08-12
What is there to say about this beer? Excellent. The bestest beer in the planet, really it is. No doubt about it, you know it when you're right. THE WINNING BEER!

RATING > 9 - by Al Marples | Date > 2005-08-24
Fantastic stuff. Q: Does anybody know why Britain produces the world's worst lagers? NO other country produces + consumes these awful 'cooking-lagers' (C@rling, UK C@rlsberg, fake 1664 etc.) so why do we have to put up with them? I haven't visited anywhere in the world with lager as bad as the UK...

RATING > 10 - by christopher stott | Date > 2005-09-12
Superbock is one of the best lagers i have ever tasted and i have tried a fair old few, its about time the pubs in the uk got some decent beer in, carlberg, carling,1664, fosters beers like this now brewed in the uk and are crap, in the last year in our local club we broke a habbit of i lifetime and went for a lager called warsteiner which is german so comes under the 400 year old german purity laws so no chemicals at all in this, just good clean, crisp larger, very few drink anything else now in fact the carling has now bitten the dust, so all you pubs out there lets have some decent proper imported beer in fact anything thats not brewed in the uk.

RATING > 10 - by Andrew Woodward | Date > 2005-09-26
10+ This Beer has the ultimate refreshing crispy taste with an after affect close to inhaling a canister of laughing gas and just 5 mins ago my mate has found somewhere in Chester to buy it. If anyone knows a wholesaler who sells it please get in contact with me.

RATING > 10 - by Lewis | Date > 2006-02-21
I got my phone and wallet stolen in madrid. on the train to portugal i drowned my sorrows with super bock in the bar carriage. I didn't care about my wallet anymore. it was that nice.

RATING > 10 - by Ryan | Date > 2005-10-18
been to portugal for the last 5 years super bock has got to be a 10

RATING > 10 - by Hannah | Date > 2005-10-25
SuperBock is by far one of the most amazing beers I've tasted. Totally recommended it!

RATING > 10 - by Louise Jeffery | Date > 2005-10-31
Loved the stuff!! Me and my three friends have just got back, and couldn't get enough of the stuff. Its my friends birthday in 2 weeks, and I'm trying to buy some online for her!!

RATING > 10 - by Putterill | Date > 2005-11-01
Loved it! Just got back from portugal with my three friends, and we seemed to constantly be drinking Super Bock! It's my friends birthday in 2 weeks time, so I'm trying to buy some in for her!! We miss Super Bock!!

RATING > 9 - by Gary H | Date > 2005-11-11
You can buy Super Bock now at Morrisons

RATING > 10 - by Dave T | Date > 2005-11-17
My story reads like so many others. Stella has always been my favourite lager, but a business trip to Portugal changed all that. Super Bock has knocked the lady from her throne. Just to add: If you have a Makro card, then some (but by no means all) branches stock Super Bock in packs of 24x330 bottles and occasionally have it on offer as low as 9.99 + VAT For a sample (just the odd bottle) you could do a lot worse than dropping into one of the Nando's chain of chicken restaurants. They sell Super Bock along with Sagres, and do some pretty good Piri-Piri chicken too.

RATING > 10 - by andrew waite | Date > 2005-11-18
i first had super bock in portugal 2005 and loved it. i've found more resently ASDA has started selling it and i can't get enough!

RATING > 9 - by Nick | Date > 2005-11-29
On a recent trip to Portugal to watch the Mighty Bolton Wanderers play Guimaraes, we were introduced to the sweet taste of Super Bock. It was the best thing about the trip, as the football was crap and we even started a few Super Bock chants... Super, Super Bock Super, Super Bock Super, Super Bock Super Super Bock Bock!!! Lovely beer, really crisp taste and excellent served out of a cold glass. A worthy competitor to Stella (which I never thought I would say!) and Warsteiner.

RATING > 10 - by Mark | Date > 2005-12-02
On said recent trip to Portugal with Nick (see above) I too tasted the might of The Bock and can safely say it went down a treat. It tasted as sweet as the back to back victories at Old Trafford (2-1 and 1-0 to those who care) and had enough strength to knock out Rahdi Jaidi with one hand tied behind its back. 10 on 10! Button mushrooms! Bingo!

RATING > 10 - by stephen tate | Date > 2005-12-29
havent been to portugal this year but went 3 times in 2003 loved super bock that much.just got back from tesco thay sell it now,pack of 6x330cl bottles £3.48 only 58 pence per bottle.

RATING > 9 - by tim | Date > 2006-01-06
A great beer. Much better than the pale and insipid beers on offer in neighbouring European countries. Captures the mood & spirit that makes Portugal such a great place to visit.

RATING > 10 - by alan jackson | Date > 2006-01-18
i too have been to portugal on a couple of occasions and think superbock is a lovely beer

RATING > 10 - by steve rogers | Date > 2006-01-20
been to portugal twice and both times drunk nothing else nice and cold lovely jubly

RATING > 10 - by Nooj | Date > 2006-01-21
Super Bock Green. Really, really, nice. Very refreshing when chilled and drunk in the sun. Very light with a clean lemon grass twist. Goes well with the local bread and goat's cheese from the Algarve area.

RATING > 6 - by Julie Gentle | Date > 2006-02-09
After a trip to Portugal, my husband fell in love with the beer Super Bock. My friends sister lives out there, and she has just bought him back some. Do you know where I can buy him a glass tankard with the name Super Bock on it?

RATING > 10 - by John Loftus | Date > 2006-02-11
Mere words don't do this beer justice but here goes... AWESOME! It's 5.6% for God's sake. Aaaah the memories of Euro 2004.

I have tried many differents beers, but SUPERBOCK is just the best beer I ever had in my life. Please continue producing it. SUPERBOCK cuia muito.

RATING > 10 - by Joel Francis | Date > 2006-02-22
This beer is like a myth or something - it's strong but sooo easy to drink! My mates and I fell in love with it and were delighted to see it on sale in the UK! 10 out of 10 everytime from the Boom Boys!

RATING > 10 - by mmmk | Date > 2006-03-17
me and my mates like to go to nandos restraunt, they sell super bock its quite pricey but its worth it, it goes down to easy and is really strong, so a few bottles and your away!!!!!! ;o)

RATING > 10 - by Tim Ratty | Date > 2006-03-21
The best thing for this beer is if you go to the capital of Portugal (Lisbon) and go to one of the street bars which serve this beer - in LITRE sized glasses. Best beer I have ever had.

RATING > 10 - by Taff | Date > 2006-05-04
Legend! Love Portugal anyway, the fact you can get this for a pittance just tops it off. So good it's even got its own football song - "Super Bock, superstar, gets you more p****d than Stella Artois". Haven't seen the lemon stuff yet, will look out for it next time.

RATING > 10 - by jay adair | Date > 2006-05-12
super bock is the dogs balls i have never tasted a nicer beer ever it really made my knob tingle

RATING > 10 - by ANDREI STEFAN | Date > 2006-05-20
For me forever SUPERBOCK is the true taste of the real beer... I was in Portugal in 2005 and i can say : SUPERBOCK is divine!

RATING > 8 - by Dave | Date > 2006-05-29
I'm American; Costa Rican, Mexican, Peruvian beers all taste the same (like a Budweiser variation) these are much like all the Spanish beers I had in Spain too (hmm historical/colonial explanations). My fav has been Carlsberg since I drank it in Spain, the beer actually seems refreshing almost post-marathonable - Extremely rare in certain states here ex: GA, AL. That all changed when I had a Lowenbrau (german) the other day thats now my #1. Any agree?

RATING > 10 - by Nathan O'Malley | Date > 2006-06-02
I went to Portugal last year and tasted Super Bock for the first time. Absolutely one of the best thirst quenching beers out there. Really great.

RATING > 10 - by Dan chandler | Date > 2006-06-13
Super Bock Green, the lemon flavoued one has to be up there with the best lagers i've tasted. Goes down a treat and is pretty strong, so I need to go straight out to get some for my World-cup-a-thon this weekend, if anyone knows where it's sold in the UK???

RATING > 10 - by Ian Burnett | Date > 2006-06-12
Got back from Lison yesterday after spending the weekend out there with 9 mates for a stag weekend. Usually i drink kronenbourg back in the UK but obviously had to make do with superbock,...wow what a substitution!!!!! All 10 of us agreed it was a lovely beer, especially the green superbock which was a fantastically refreshing hangover cure! I'm going to be looking for ithere in the UK although i do not like my chances of finding it! Even beter served chilled in a glass,....cannot believe its 5.6% either! Tastes awesomely good!

RATING > 9 - by Chris Bell | Date > 2006-06-13
Superbok Green - What a find!!! Just back from my stag do in lisbon, portugal where we drank nothing but Superbok green. I usually drink Corona with a slice of lime but to find a beer with it pre mixed was a right result. I think that it may now sway me to drink that more often here in England!! If you've never tired it do so today you'll love it. Bell

RATING > 10 - by Gemma Owens | Date > 2006-06-16
Sperbok is the best portuguese lager i have tasted, it also comes better than Becks which is what i drink over here. Although i have been buying Superbok from ASDA, and am suprised now that they don't sell it, i know Oddbins sells it but would rather have somewhere close by i can buy it from, Does anyone know where i can get it from besides the places i have mentioned?

RATING > 10 - by Claire & Ewan Kinnear | Date > 2006-07-02
Super Bock is the greatest beer on Earth....so cheap in Portugal aswell! Found it over here in Asda - 6 for 4quid! Gutted! But worth every penny!

RATING > 10 - by Mike Lonsdale | Date > 2006-07-13
I think this beer deserves a round of applause. I have been drinking this beer for quite some time now and it is by far the most sensual yet exciting experience i have yet to engage in. This beer creeps up on you like a lion (roar). A thrilling suprise from start to finish. A****

RATING > 10 - by Toby Thorne | Date > 2006-07-29
Excellent taste my miss's preferred the bottle more than the beer! If you know what I mean!

RATING > 10 - by thumper meadows | Date > 2006-08-08
you can buy superbock at keiths wine bar for about £2 a bottle and it is fantastic. Does anyone know where to get stella dry? Used to drink it around town on a tuesday afternoon 10 years ago. It was only a quid1

Just bought 2 crates from oddbins at 13.99 each, bit of a bargain i think for the greatest beer ever. Stella is quality but superbok even takes that to the cleaners..... Koi!!!

Me and some friends went to the great country of Portugal in 2004 to watch the football(thats when we were beaten on penalties) Any way after the game we drowned our sorrows in the square with non other than the mighty super bock, and to our joy the locals were nothing but the best to us. Super bock brings back good memories and bad but thats life. ive just bought a case of bock for xmas lovely...!

RATING > 10 - by Anon | Date > 2007-04-05
Just come back from Portugal after a few days. I thought Stella Was the best beer in the world but this Super Boc has surely changed my perceptions. Went to a few bars and on draught this beer tastes excellent. Always cold and crisp very refreshing!!! All I say is you have to try it to beleive it!! You will not be dissapointed.

Great stuff, never been to Portugal but there is a little cafe up the road from the office that sells it, tried it for the first time yesterday. YUM! D

it is fantastic and i love it. the best thing is that you can buy it because it is affordable and it is good quality beer!

RATING > 9 - by Dave | Date > 2008-02-02
Tesco sell Superbock. Six bottles for about 3.50 pounds. It is quite clearly and simply the nuts. As normal premium lagers go, Kronenbourg is the best of a bad bunch, but this strong, portuguese lager/beer pisses on all other bottled lagers, Vert strong, yet great tasting.

RATING > 8 - by H Wiss | Date > 2008-03-18
If you want to get drunk on beer this is the only way, best for the money, taste is rather ok, only woe is the hint of metal in the crispiness.

RATING > 9 - by jef | Date > 2008-04-28
Very nice beer...drank a ton of them and they always worked. GOOD TIMES.

RATING > 10 - by Hutchy | Date > 2008-05-26
Not really a beer guy(Cider), but after drinking super bock for a week in portugal im hooked.local pub going to start selling it as you get it from asda 65p a bottle
