Special Brew
It's always been the choice of the drunk hasn't it?
This article suggests more noble beginings but I'm not having that.

Re: Special Brew
I drink it quite regularly, not that that's any recommendation. I don't drink it in a brown paper bag though.
The trick is never ever drink more than two cans.

Re: Special Brew
Try it again, but like I say 2 cans is more than enough. I find that as I've got older I can't seem to drink the volume I used to so a can of brew is just enough to relax without having to drink 3 cans of normal beer.Blade wrote:Only when I was about 14 when I first ventured into the antics of being a nutter p1ssheadMonty wrote:Have you ever tried it?
We used to drink this when we kids, think it's something like 13%

Re: Special Brew
I remember Gold Label well from my childhood.
My mates mum was an Alkie so we used to nick her stash and she never said a word as that would mean my mate's Dad would find out and that would spell more trouble for her than us .
I like to think we were helping her

Re: Special Brew

Tenants snake bite made with white lightening was responsible for a hole in my bedroom carpet , or maybe it was the Pernod and black that caused the damage

Re: Special Brew
We used to kid ourselves that the Strongbow we bought (slightly illegally) was really strong stuff when we were early teens, Used to love a pint or two of Abbot, but ruined that when I went for the gallon tee shirt one evening, got very messy very fast as I recall (not very clearly though).
Pernod and black brings back some memories, a girl I knew got hammered on that and threw up, it looked like congealed blood on the carpet, but stunk of sick and aniseed. Classy.

Re: Special Brew
I honestly have no idea what we used to drink....the odd bottle of NBA I suppose....that's a given - but though I like it, Newky always makes me sleepy.
Tried snakebites and liked them for a while, but too sweet.
Whatever the local pub had on draft I reckon??

Re: Special Brew
I remeber 20/20 mad dog, Thunderbirds red, skol 1080 and some mental pint called a green monster which was a pint of snake bite with a couple of shots in it but can't remember which shots. Mental looking back what we used to do as kids.

Re: Special Brew

Re: Special Brew
When we young we would drink barley wine and cider, it was a really cloudy mixture but 3 pints of it and you could take on the world lolKwacky wrote:Barley wine is sickly sweet.
