Youri McAnespie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) @Escobarp Edit: Just read your reply, if you mean this (on draft in that Tynecastle boozer)..? https://sltn.co.uk/2019/05/23/mcewans-lager-returns/?cmpredirect Then I'll bow to your local knowledge - it probably is 'pish'. The Export Ale however? On draft sounds like finding Eldorado - just a distant dream... Edited February 4, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically “heavy”. It’s fucking rank as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella was the gold standard when I was a kid, I'd mainly drink Miller Lite/Pilsner for the price, but if flush would plump for Stella every time. When they started brewing it here it went downhill like Franz Klammer. My local shop used to do booze runs and sell silver top under the counter, sometimes when stocks were low we'd have to mix and match silver top (Belgian) and gold top (UK) - supping a can of the latter after the former was like kissing Mongy Boswell after Catherine Zeta-Jones... We used to say 'gold top-wet dog'. Rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god no, I'm just curious - Scotland is a bit 'land that time forgot' in some ways booze-wise, not in a bad way I might add..I'm revisiting childhood boozes in lockdown(s) but there's only been one winner so far...(have a guess 😀). Mackesons Stout next up. Maybe Gold Label next week. Tartan Bitter will get it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than own brands Damm is routinely the cheapest cans in the Spars - makes me smile seeing packs of it here for six quid, it's about 35p a can there. Re: Burberry - When the louts donned Aquascutum I couldn't give away a jacket and jumper, both in good nick (jumper had shrunk a bit in wash - snug 😕)...

Youri McAnespie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 You just told us... McEwans Lager and Heavy on draft, Bucky in the fridges... Anyhow Edinburgh ain't Scotland. I've been told that by Edinburgh people. You're right though, my knowledge of north of the border is very limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 You've got me wrong - I'd take a pint of heavy and a Bucky chaser over a eight quid pint of Peroni anyday (or four quid bottle 😀). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted February 4, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Best lager I’ve bought in the last year from a shop in the Sainsbury’s own brand Czech pilsner. Not seen it on the shelf though for months now and but for Bianca and Heather on the till I’d never go back in. But you should see Bianca.

Plymouth polytechnic in late 80s had a bar which strangely was supplied by McEwan with Export on draught. Christ, they were heavy sessions on it while mates were on the lager tops. No Guiness either thinking back. Maybe someone had read to much into citys links with Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
