Real ale is a fine natural craft product, which is often locally sourced from small brewers
Mass-market lager is a noxious mass-produced chemical cocktail, usually produced by a mega-brewery that looks like an oil refinery (cf Carlsberg Northampton) Amstel is very poor indeed - I bought a four pack for a train journey a few years back and almost didn't finish it, which is saying something..
There are some good craft lagers of course...
