There are other categories of "premium lagers" and "standard lagers", so I'm guessing these can be ruled out. In fact, with the exception of weissbier, I'd say we're talking bottles only. I'm not sure if half-litre bottles of lager like Budvar or Pilsner Urquell count as speciality -- I suspect they probably do.

So, discounting Heineken, Amstel, Stella and the like, care to guess again?

Oooohhhh - surely low/no alcohol beer IS a specialty? <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

For alcohol specialty beer I bet higher so. 4%.
