Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

Skull Attack, 15 pints.

At what age?


When I was working, a guy came down here from London for a course.
He was warned about SA, thought he'd try it.
Very nice, he said after a few pints, but what's the fuss about?
Then he went out side and the air hit him, luckily the wall stopped him hitting the pavement.

Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

I had the odd pint of bitter as a 16/17 year old in pubs in north Cheshire and south Manchester - but didn't have a regular brew until I moved to Bristol to go to college when I was 18.

Then it was 6X or Courage Best/Directors.

Until the great Courage brewery strike of 1980 when it was Felinfoel Double Dragon brought over the bridge to keep the Courage pubs open. It was only later that I realised I was helping to break a strike with every pint. My shame lasted years!

Always bitter for me. Something not right about lager drinking - unless it is just to cool down with fizzy piss on a hot day, and even then best to do it with the glass hidden in a paper bag.

I have just turned 65. Still drink bitter on some nights out - but more wine or whiskey these days.

Good man!
Lager is served cold to numb your taste buds so you can't tell how shit it tastes.

You Cardiffians don't know how lucky you were. Albright was about as good as it got up the Gwent valleys. Absolute shite.

Ah, Allbright, the driving man’s beer.

Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

Never really been a Brains lover.
First pint in a pub was Carling, but used to mostly drink Hancocks HB. My uni years were mainly Ruddles County, Abbot Ale and Old Peculiar. Still prefer Ale but will also dabble in decent Belgian lagers especially in the summer.

They drink Cocktails now and put it on Instagram. If my old man had seen me drinking a Cocktail (Being on holiday would not be an excuse) He'd have never spoken to me again. I remember him getting shitty with me because i asked for a dash of lemonade in a pint of Bitter or Lager, i couldn't see his face, just his anger reverberating through his Sporting Life Paper.

I don't know anyone my age (28) or below who drinks cocktails regularly, if at all. Have you possibly seen a few people do this and decide an entire demographic must do the same?




Lager and IPA are the main choices of the 20somethings. Though Guinness has had a massive renaissance in the last few years.

I've actually not seen anyone drink a Cocktail, ever. I was lust trying to get involved in the thread really.

Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

Rough cider straight out of the barrel. We used to help the landlord lift it onto a wooden stand, then he’d knock the tap in. He’d let us have the first pint for free, which was nicknamed Sandy Bottoms, as it was basically all sediment. Lager wasn’t a thing in local pubs, only cider or bitter.

My old man drank Mackeson out of a can all of his life!

The very first alcohol free beer 🤣

Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

Worked behind a bar in a social club as a 15 year old, wouldn't be allowed to do that now.

Tap beer as my memory tells me was Allbright, PA (Welsh Brewers), Hancock, Brains Dark and SA.

Lager Hemeling, Tuborg and Tennants Extra.

Cider, Strongbow and Old English.

Special mention to the promotion night Brains put on for Hurlimanns. Great night but the amount of near marriage break ups and spike in domestic abuse (women towards their husbands) ensured the rep was informed it wasn't going on the bar full time.

Halcyon days.

Re: Alcohol Age Indicator

No ones mentioned a “Brown Top”

Also, who remembers the pint bottles of Brains Brown, used to drink it if the Dark was off

yeah IPA is everywhere these days, the problem is most of it is utterly shite, it's actually harder to get a decent pint of beer in a lot of places than back when everywhere sold lager.
they all use far too much citrus hops, it tastes like drinking a pint of grapefruit juice
