Carling Black Label Lager

Carling, my most cherished of beverages, it may not have the taste quality or alcohol content of a Kronenbourg, but it is cheap. Carling is a middle strength lager at about 4.1%, nothing too special there, it is quite refreshing and crisp in taste but its redeeming feature is its price. Carling can be found in pubs and clubs for as little as £1.50, it is a very common beer in my part of the country and is normally one of the ubiquitous beers, so that it is found in pretty much every bar. You may detect through the course of this opinion that Carling is not only one of my favourite drinks but ... more

As you may or may not no, a lot of my inspiration for writing comes when I’m at work, and being as I work in a pub, I thought it only fitting that I should review the prime product in a Pub, the beer! As opposed to reviewing all beers in general, I had a think about my knowledge of different beers, and myself being a lager drinker, thought it befitting to bring to you, an opinionated opinion of Carling Black Label. How about a nice refreshing crisp glass of Lager? Few can resist the charms of a pint of larger, I can safely say, that when it comes to Carling, I’m DC, and I’m ... more

The official sponsor of The Leeds Festival 2007. The Carling story dates back to 1818 when Thomas Carling, a farmer in England's Yorkshire district, took his family to the rich farmlands of eastern Canada settling at what is now the city of London, Ontario. During his first year there Tom Carling cleared a small area. Then,in accordance with the custom of the day, he called on his neighbors to help at a "stumping bee", a cooperative effort in which each man brought his own oxen and tools and the land was cleared of tree stumps. All that these helpful neighbors asked was that they be refreshed ... more

Being a sophisticated lady drinker, I don't generally drink common things like lager. Seeing as my boyfriend's favourite tipple is Carling (generally in a can) though, there are usually a fair few cans in the fridge at home. So as my finances don't really stretch to my choice of cocktails every night, it has to be Carling the rest of the time. Most pubs do Carling on tap as the standard lager, so blokes get used to the taste of it from a young age (preferably 18 but you know what young people are like). Compared to other lagers such as Stella, Carling is milder in taste and doesn't bite as ... more

I like beer, as do many of us, but after a recent holiday in Belgium I have come back a bit of a beer snob. The beer in Belgium (mainstream beer too) is wonderful, full of rich flavours and has a decent kick to it which is different to many mainstream beers found in the UK. I know you can get good Real Ales in the UK but I thought I would look at a selection of the more popular beers you can get easily throughout the UK starting with Carling. The tin of carling I have chilling in my fridge contains 440ml of 4% vol beer and cost me £1.09. The tin is black and white and boasts that Carling is ... more
