Can anyone recommend a good lager kit for kegging to get a beginner interested.
Backstory: Built a bar now what to stock it with draught beer.
Normally drinks Peroni, Moretti & Bud so I am completely out of my depth.

Re: Lager kit recommendation for a newbie
Many recommend Coopers European Lager as it uses proper lager yeast but it needs 12 weeks maturation, so even if you started now, it wouldn't be ready until September. Coopers do a number of other well-regarded lagers that use an ale/lager yeast mix and ferment well in the British summer - they will be ready sooner.
I like the look of the Muntons Gold two-can Continental Pilsner but it probably needs two or three months to mature so I'll postpone purchase and brewing until next year.
One widely-available kit I could not recommend is Geordie Lager - too watery for my taste.
Sorry I can't be of further help. Hopefully, some lager drinkers will answer your post.

Wilko Cerveza is not too bad if brewed to 19/20 litres... All my lager drinking friends don't waste it!
Beer is my drug of choice.
I don't need anger management classes, I need people to stop pissing me off.
No beer, no fun - know beer, know FUN!
Carrots may be good for your eyes but alcohol is better as it gives you double vision!

Re: Lager kit recommendation for a newbie
I started with coppers Mexican Cerveza, took me 10 days in wort then bottled it. 2 weeks later was drinking them.

Without wishing to cause offense I reccomend personal counselling. People who drink those brands are the ones who drink from the bottle with the label facing the the person in front of them. They also wear their clothes with the makers label visible.
Edit.
Cerveza is Spanish for beer. In this case a complete misnomer

Everyone’s different I suppose and got their own personal taste.

No finings, just gravity.
This is the only Beer, Lager, Euro Fizz that I have EVER made where there is not a single, incy wincy,
little tiny weeny bit of sediment that comes from the bottom of the bottle!
