Tried a few recently.

 

Have to say, there’s some really good quality ones about. To my utter disbelief the Budweiser Probibition is excellent (caveat - needs to be ice cold).

 

The San Miguel, Brew dog and Heineken are also very good. Becks blue is shite.

 

And you can drive home. Could get used to it.

Remember Skol? 2.3%

Ahh, Skol (3.6%) and her sister lager Kestrel (3.4%)...

 

As a child I used to love mixing it up with a pack of each.

 

Other beers also had 'twins' for 2xfour pack bliss; Fosters and Budweiser in small tins, Stella and Miller Lite, Colt 45 and Breaker...Happy times.

 

It wasn't just limited to cans or lagers either, a three litre bottle of Helden Brau Lager would go down nicely with two litres of Strongbow Cider.

 

They were simpler times back then.

Going back to the original topic, I had a bitter shandy t'other day made with Asda's own utter catpiss bitter (90p for four tins, 2%) - made 50/50 with both the catpiss and the lemonade being ice cold, it was palatable enough, which was surprising as a small sip of the bitter alone tasted like watery fagash sloptray fayre. Anyhow it was better than any non-alcoholic swill and at less than 20 odd pence a pint...

If we're talking getting pished on the local park - 2 - 4 cans (dependent on how much dinner money I'd managed to keep back) of Tenants or Skol Super downed using the 'keyed' TM method usually did the trick.

 

Having a drag and holding it in while you supped also got you more high, apparently  

It's like licking your mum out.  It tastes the same but its just wrong.

 

Not for me.

Speaking from experience?

No, What have you heard?

Unique. No one else ever in the history of this board would have posted that. Bravo.

As a counter to that, I paid about six quid for a pint of that Guinness 'real ale' style lager later on that day...(Hophouse?)

 

Piss - I think it's just their shit lager topped off with some Guinness, they should be ashamed of themselves.

 

I was extra disappointed as allowing myself a beer is a rare treat these days - lest I be back 'shotgunning' four packs of Colt 45 and Breaker on railway hills.

Keying the bottom of the can, getting ones gob around the hole then popping the top was known as 'shotgunning' to us - and very rarely carried out more than once a session, usually the first can, too much wastage from the hole punching, plus catching the plume often meant you'd go home reeking of ale.

IT was definitely a risky technique but if performed well with a high strength lager you were well .on the way.

 

I favoured key blasting two super strengths in quick succession and then going onto summat lighter like Red Stripe or, hmm, was Breaker the one in the mustard/yellow can?

Yes, also favoured in West Indian clubs and pubs for some reason - I think it wasn't too dissimilar from Red Stripe in taste and that's why...

I recall some utterly awful but dirt cheap lager called Strike 5 or something like that.

I think that was made for one of the cash and carry chains...

 

Although not related there were matches called 'stryke' an' all...

 

It was premium strength iirc.

 

Unlike the cornershop 39p catpisses like; Haagen, Baltic, Royal Dutch, Stein etc.

 

I used to love going in 'new' cornershops whilst walking around on youthful outdoor drinking sessions and perusing their shit catpiss ales, always priced randomly as they bumped up or shaved off a few pence.

 

I don't think I ever shed the habit tbh.

 

I'd have been drunk on the 'good' stuff first, mind...

 

Tried to get pissed on 'Baltic' on my fifteenth, had about ten 500ml cans and nothing but pissing every five minutes.

Probably was a cash and carry lager, used to get it from 'Dirty John's' in Blackrod many many moons ago. Happy days

Wtf do you know about brewing beer

More than Guinness I'd say

It's like licking your mum out. It tastes the same but its just wrong.

 

Not for me.

Haha, ace.

your Mum tastes nothing like zero alcohol lager

More than Guinness I'd say

Wtf do you know about brewing beer

I know fuckloads about tasting it.

Anyhow, you're in the know, this Hophouse, how long from water, hops, barley to pub tap or bottle? Tell the class...

You have big sheds, and nobodies allowed in, because that's where you keep all the chemicals you put in the drinks...

I think his silence speaks volumes...

Surely you are the go to guy for incidences of staff urinating into drinks or branded products being exactly the same as own label but in different packages?
