The normal bitter was shit, but they did a 5%-er called Top Hat that was lovely. We also served Lowenbrau on draft before the brewery removed it because it was causing more fights than we could cope with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) For me it's easier to remember the beers that i don't miss- Grunhalle lager - Greenhalls piss Stein Lager - Thwaites excuse for a lager Slalom Lager - Scottish + Newc (I think) weirdest lager taste ever - and it stank.

Members Rudy Posted September 9, 2019 Members Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Can’t think of the name of it but it’s a little stubby bottle, think it’s Belgian 8%, not sure they do it anymore or if they do I never see it. It used to be tucked away in the back of the fridge when I worked in the pub very so often I would get one and it would ruin me Edited September 9, 2019 by Rudy’s Message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Ones I’ve enjoyed most at the time were Walkers Warrington Ales, Thwaites and Draught Bass. Not sure I’d like any of em know Most revolting were Greenall’s and Stones. Vile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think if we went back it time to the 60's/70's/80's most of us would be repulsed by some of the beers sold at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yeah, I've got 4 glasses Bought em all your honour Once liberated 2 blanc glasses, woke up following morning to find a pile of glass in my pocket Outer glass was intact, strangely enough Carlsberg HOF was a bit lively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freds dad Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I remember in my youth working the bar at The Swan in Bolton during the Saturday lunch rockers session in the cellar bar and them drinking hundreds of cans of Breaker.

Super Bock Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 10 hours ago, Casino said: 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 There’s a tiny Portuguese bar in Tooting that has Super Bock lager and their stout on draft. Every now and then I go in for a pint of nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Bock Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 12 hours ago, bolty58 said: He fiucking didn't and he still doesn't. 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. Agree that Carlton Draught is a decent beer compared to the other mass produced beer in that market, miles better than the Carling’s and Fosters over here. Also wish we could get James Squire beer in the UK, especially the golden ale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ever drank it Sheffield whilst at uni Didn't think it would have travelled far outside of south Yorkshire Think the brewery went around late 90s early 00s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
