pozbaird Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'd bring back Breaker Malt Liquor - need these guys to crack on.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-34538212 While they're at it. Can they bring back Love Street, Fergie's Furies, and Listen Records on the High Street? Anyone remember beers and lagers from the old days that should be brought back?

FS Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Dryborough Heavy from the Alloa Brewery, in fact their 80 shilling was quite good too. The (original) Bungalow Bar used to do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Furstenberg - aka house wrecker I had a couple of bottles of that (in addition to numerous other beers) in The Variety Bar before the recent PiL concert. The house survived, but I ended up wrecked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Breaker was a big thing when it came out thanks to TV advertising. Sold , up the park as a 16 year old with the mates that's about as much as I remember.

Drew Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Furstenberg - aka house wrecker They had it on draught in the Buroo union in Hunter St. Rotten, but hit the spot.ETA - on reflection, maybe it was just bottles. No great surprise that my recollection is somewhat hazy. Edited October 19, 2015 by Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Schlitz. Always preferred it over that swill called Bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Schlitz. Always preferred it over that swill called Bud. Me too. Used to drink it quite often in the early to mid-eighties, then it seemed to suddenly disappear. I also used to like Belhaven beers in the eighties before it morphed into that sacrilegious nitrokeg pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Labattes, Molsen, Red Stripe and Castlemaine 4X all regularly consumed when I was a youth in the 80s but none of them would be given house room now. Beer is one thing that has improved massively over the years Imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer is one thing that has improved massively over the years Imo. All those lagers were heavily advertised at the time but l think the only one I liked back then was Red Stripe. I don't know what gets advertised now as I rarely watch the tv now and certainly never watch the adverts but our home grown lagers have always tended to be like soda water. .

bluto Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Once upon a time I did a contract in the Guinness brewery at Park Royal (RIP). From our office, we had to use catwalks wending above/through the vast vats brewing magic liquids to get to the canteen. After filling our trays with an excellent array of free food, we could then choose a refreshment from... Guinness, Harp Lager or their cider (can't recall the brand, now). You could have a pint glass, a half... Whatever size you fancied. And go back for more. Also all free. There were no controls nor sanctions for over-imbibing. The novelty soon passed. (Ms bluto had a similar experience summer-working - while she was a student - in a Netherlands chocolate factory.) Eta: think it was Blackthorn Dry Cider.

beyond our ken Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Big Whitbread in bottles. I remember being thoroughly impressed by the effect when one was launched at the fireplace in the old kennedys by a member of staff trying to break up a fight. As a warning shot, it worked, but there was some collateral damage in the form of glass in the hair and some soked jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 'Fowlers Wee Heavy', that was a good drap of the amber nectar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I once did the tour of the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen. You went in through big doors that had big stone Elephants on either side of the door. They also made Elephant Beer which was pretty strong stuff, but apparently not as strong as the 'Special Brew' that they made back in these days. I think the Special Brew has been toned down a bit since then or at least that's my memory telling me that, not that you had much of a memory after 2 SB's!
