Only true lager lovers can ace this beer quiz that tests your pint prowess
Do you think you know your ales from your amber, or you lager from your labeorphilist?
Although the weather has taken a turn for the worse over the last week or so, people across the UK have enjoyed some sizzling sunshine in recent months, with this being Scotland's sunniest spring on record.
And the Met Office has, tentatively, suggested that we might be in for a scorching summer too. So whether or not you managed to get out to a beer garden in May, there will, hopefully, be many more opportunities in the coming months.
We all know there's nothing quite like catching up with your mates over a cold pint while sitting in the sun outside your favourite pub. And since that looks like it will be on the cards for many of us, you might want a chance to impress your pals with your pinting prowess.
That can come in many forms; from recommending excellent new lagers to try, to being able to showcase your knowledge of the amber nectar.
And if you are one who likes to impress others with your wisdom for all things beer, then we've got the quiz for you.
Challenge yourself to ace this 10-question test and then use everything you've learned to flaunt the fun facts the next time you're out enjoying a cold one.
