If Malta had a national beer, Ċisk Lager would definitely be it. It’s sold absolutely everywhere and, in spite of a higher price, it’s still the number one choice for most.
On the label it says: “Malta’s Finest” and obviously this must be the truth. Why, otherwise, would it be so popular?
But status aside, what is it that’s so special about it?
Nothing.
It’s lager. It’s a very good lager, granted, but there’s nothing special about it and maybe that’s the whole point.
This is a proper beer for proper people and it’s perfectly good for all occasions.
If you like beer, that is.
