Amac Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Brown spilt with bitter bullseye brown sold at burnden Park in the 70s and they gave you the bottle Quote
freds dad Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 A pint of Boddies in the Halfway House in Farnworth. Who remembers Oranjeboom? Quote
Zico Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Can't remember if it was Hoffmeister or Lowenbrau but the Tavern did one at 50p a pint on Saturday night around 1994 Quote

Oranjeboom , sold in the Amsterdam Bar Horwich and The Vulcan on Junction Road. Bloody awful. Only surpassed by Stones Bitter ( always gave me a banging head). from.the Aquarius Club . What a fine establishment that was. Quote

Gonk Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Wilson's bitter in the Crown little lever. Anywhere else it was never the same. Holsten export at the Mitre in Manchester Quote

I have an intense dislike for most things Queensland and definitely its fucking ale. Of the 'regular' beers, I reckon Victoria's Carlton Draught is the best down here. We have some right shite over here including Emu Export and Swan Draught. Fucking paint stripper. Quote

I could only ever find that on tap in the South West apart from a short term trial in Blackpool where I got so pissed off it that I nearly lost an eye being jumped by tangerine twats near Bloomfield Road. Didn't feel a thing at the time - completely anaesthetised. Breaker was also a good drop but loved Colt 45. Quote

tomski Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Not gone but hard to get over here. Superbock/Astra/Holsten edel Quote
Casino Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Don't think I've ever seen superbock on draught Maybe nando's at middlebrook would do it if there was one I get my bottles from Makro or asda Quote

Went through a phase of having just that on nights out, trying to look cultured like, but it didn't half result in some horror shites the day after. One from down here that isn't missed apparently is "shitty" Shipstones, guaranteed marmite stripes after a session on that, I'm told. Quote

I don't think it was ever widespread was it Only had draught in man and scythe Had a pint the other week in liverpool One I miss was the cru...asda did it, but alas, no more Kronbourg blanc was a short lived one....Brunswick near piccadilly did that on draught Quote

Just don't see it anywhere now - probably due to the cost of replacing all glasses that everyone nicked. Or maybe white beer was just a fad, along with ice beer. Quote
Spider Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Caffrey's caused me some absolute write offs in the 90's. Quote
Traf Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Just now, Spider said: Caffrey's caused me some absolute write offs in the 90's. Before they weakened the strength of it, it wasn't bad for a "smooth" type beer. Quote
Guest Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Beers are so much better these days, but Burtonwood Dark Mild was ok Quote
