It's a drink from my childhood - before I started drinking properly, so I have fond memories of it. Same goes for; Newcastle Brown, Stones and Lancashire Bitter, Helden Brau and Croft Original. All pre-drinking drinks -meaning I'd pinch the odd can or swig off my parents as a young kid. That's where I got the 'taste' - most eight year olds would find the taste of bitter repellant, I thought it was delicious.

Took the Mrs to watch Adele a few years back, it was the MEN so I knew the beer would be guff. I trotted off to the bar and asked how much was the newcy brown, the lass said it wasn’t on the till because no one buys it so she put it through as a soft drink. £2, so I ordered 5. That got me through the pain of Adele crying for 2 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to Adele - just as you staggered about the concourses before you were ejected. Your missus would've seen the funny side I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 @Rudy Please say for the pair? Probably not. Was this when she was still a heffalump an' all?

Oh god yeah for them both: I thought it was a lot but it’s not too bad now looking back. She had a bit of plump to her. Bet she had a few newcy browns after it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Think this is my favourite time of the festive season. No pressure to do things, everyone is chilled out, loads of the best best food left and ample time for decent walks. This is usually the time to meet up with folks, but failing that you can have a drink and chill out with everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
