Karl Phillips, better known as Bootlegger has certainly played his part in elevating the fortunes of the club currently undergoing the Hollywood treatment. If you’re ever in North Wales, especially around Wrexham, you’ll find this lager on draught in most pubs and bars. It’s not as strong as the bottled version coming in at 4%abv and I think this makes all the difference. It’s a perfect beer, not too strong, a good session beer. It’s mouth feel is fantastic, smooth, rounded and the malt gives an almost warm, nutty taste. German hops give a perfect, understated finish. I can’t speak highly enough, so onto the bottled version.

Here’s the problem, because the tap beer is just so good the bottle would have to be amazing to stand along side it, and because this is a stronger beer it loses some of the substance the draught brew has. It’s mouthfeel is not as full or as rounded. Don’t get me wrong, this is still better than pretty much every major bottled lager you can get. But the draught is better.Viral fame has indeed been a double-edged sword for Bootlegger. Part of his online profile came from a very unfortunate incident when Wrexham faced their bitter rivals Chester. A grossly-offensive chant came from the opposition supporters during a minute’s silence, which Karl had captured on video. Experienced amateurs and experts from around the world taste and judge the beers together. We believe this is exactly what distinguishes the Frankfurt International Beer Trophy and makes it so specific, as this reveals what consumers really think.

The disgusting taunt made light of a young Wrexham fan who had passed away recently. The chant caused a chaotic uproar in the Wrexham end, and in a morbid twist of fate, the moment has been associated with Karl and his videos ever since. “I grimace whenever it gets mentioned”, he says. “I’m friends with his family. But I don’t like talking about it. It just brings up bad blood”. Joss said: “I’m very grateful for how much Bootlegger is a part of this company. He’s given us massive exposure here when Rob (McElhenney) and Ryan (Reynolds) weren’t here.

Is Bootlegger The Same As Wrexham Lager?

Roofer by day, pilsner drinker by night, he’s scored hundreds of thousands of hits on YouTube with his hilarious matchday vlogs and keeps a huge number of followers on social media hooked with his humorous musings on life, work, his partner – affectionately named the Flamethrower and his beloved Wrexham AFC. The European Beer Challenge is operated by the Largest Beverage Awards Organisation in the world including CWSA & Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards. The European Beer Challenge is Judged by Europe’s Leading Beer Buyers and offers brands and producers the opportunity to showcase their products to key influencers in the Beer market. If I was giving a score out of ten this would be around an eight or nine. To give you a comparison most bottled lagers, by InBev and the like, would come in at no more than a five, even Brewdog’s Lost Lager or Kingpin would only get a seven. I’d love a 500ml bottled version of the 4%abv beer though, I think this would be a rival to Fruh Kolsch as my favourite lager. I recommend you get on the train from wherever you live, come to sunny North Wales and get it on draught. It will be worth it. According to reports, sales of the company’s products have increased dramatically in the United States. The global popularity of the series also resulted in increased fan interest in Wrexham AFC. The gripping 18-episode series was released on Disney Plus, and both businesses were featured. Is Wrexham Lager Any Good?
