i was in a restaurant years ago, I was reminded(not by anyone connected with the place) that alcohol & Indian food "do not mix" & was told to try a yogurt/salt/sugar/ice drink called lassi instead. Being Glaswegian, I declined immediately & ordered a pint of Lal Toofan Indian lager. It was the only Indian lager they had at the time, but I remember it not being overly gassy, like the Cobra, which is everywhere now. I tend to buy ales in the colder months, McEwans Champion Ale was on I tried last year....says 'award winning' on the label & at 7.8% I wouldnt like to have been at that awards ceremony...but surprisingly drinkable with curry
