Outside Chance: Bavaria 8.6
No Chance: LCL Super

Nominations: Kestrel Super, Two nominations Carlsberg Special Brew, Two nominations for Tennents Super

The awards:

Winner: Special Brew
Runner Up: Super T

This award was perhaps the most eagerly awaited out of all of the categories. By the time we sat down to debate the various merits of each can we were by far and away inebriated and as such memories are sketchy at best.

We all decided upon eliminating Kestrel from running almost straight away. Although it did have its merits it could just not cope with the sheer street cred of the two heavyweight contenders in this match up.

After much debating and pontificating the merits of both of the remaining contenders were plain to see. Both were well established, both were priced similarly and both were the same ABV and had the same can size. It was all going to boil down to street cred and taste.

A unanimous decision was reached with all of us agreeing that Super T had the most street cred, there was just no compromise. However, the taste of Special Brew far outweighed the street cred benefits that Super T provided.

Not being to separate these leviathans of the super lager world by conventional methods we decided to ask the local kebab men which they thought was the best. They said Special Brew so that is our winner of Best Super Lager award.
