Well I do live in the UK however I am german born and bred so by default I grew up with and generally prefer lager. Unfortunately Red Stripe (jamaican and brewed here under license) is the only drinkable lager produced in the UK. Even the british-made licensed Löwenbräu is rubbish but then again I do not rate the german original very highly either.I do like british ales but it very much depends on the pub which is serving it.
You might like Ale X in pub A but then in pub B the very same Ale X could well be horrid.
They all seem to be less than stellar from a bottle or even a can (the horror!).
Btw technically wheat beers are ales, not lagers so they do make some decent ales in Germany.Not sure if you know that but 'Ur-' means original. Hence Pilsener Urquell was the very first Pils while Einbecker Urbock is the bock from which all other bocks were derived.
The Bavarians liked Einbecker so much they headhunted one of their brewmasters centuries ago and the rest is history.
Similarly stout is a London invention which tickled the taste buds of the irish while falling out of favour in London.
