LONDON (Reuters) - First the Jubilee, then the World Cup, and now a true show of patriotism and English spirit -- lager-flavoured crisps.

Chip maker McCoy's said the crisps are made with real brewing yeast and hops and will be in pubs, wine bars and shops across the country in late August, to coincide with the launch of the new soccer season.

"The new 'Lager, Lager' crisps will enable fans to enjoy the taste of beer without suffering any side effects," McCoy's said in a statement.

The company said this should be good news for bosses who suffered mass absenteeism due to early morning hangovers during last month's World Cup tournament.

hhhmmmm... thanks for this imformative and interesting article. i'll write a review when these wonder crisps are available. (yipeeee!!! at last, who is this unknown genius who dreamt up such a fantastic idea?)

Hmm, well it sounds like a good idea to me but at the same time i guess i'd still drink it
while i was eating the crisps.

oh yeah, while we're on the topic of things that taste like other things, has anyone ever tried those cannabis flovored lollies? they taste pretty good.

Isnt that like beer batter chips or something

ew... lager. ew... patriotism.

Lager flavored chips? Sounds pretty gross to me. You would probably be better off just drinking the lager.

I'm not sure about this, I'd have to have some first....

if only they would make a chip to enable fans to enjoy the side effects of lager without having to suffer through the taste... the world is always backwards from me...

Harp lager is good.
