I wonder what the alcohol content of that was. Where did it come from? And why did they sell it in Brains' pubs? It seemed lethal. But was it?

Never touched it again.

Queens Vaults used to sell it in the early 90's, as did a bar next to the club on the corner of park place and greyfriars road, ( what was the name of the place ? ? ? ? anyone know, Pikey used to always drink in there, was it Dylans and Henrys ? ? ? ) but they wouldn't serve it in bottles, so you had to have 2 poured into a pint glass :hehe: :hehe: good times indeed, its a lovely drink when Very cold

When City played up north in the early 90's the bus stopped of at a pub on the way ( the pub used to be a Church ) and we all piled in, noticed the fridge had it in, great myself and my mate thought, he only had a shelf full, we told the barman to fill up and fridge so it chilled down a little, we had a few drinks, the barman says " we have run out boys " we moaned and said selfish b'stards drinking our cider, he says " only you 2 were drinking it, you have done 19 bottles :shrug: this was in 2 hours, when we went outside we knew it, lets say we were wrecked

a great drink and the bottle lit up in a cool way under a UV light :hehe:

Tickets for Netherlands F1 went on sale yesterday. Free cider if you buy me one!

You pussies don't know what cider is. Come down to Somersert, visit a few farms that sell it and you'll find out.

There is one local farm where the farmer charges £10 for a lump of cheese and a wedge of bread.
Purely out of generosity (he would say to the taxman), he then hands visitors a dusty and often cobweb-ridden glass and points you to two very high wooden barrels of home-made cider whose contents you can imbibe until you fall off a nearby bench or a dirty sofa.

He obtains his cheese and bread using cider as the bartering currency with other farmers and spends a disproportionate amount of time railing against the taxman (and whilst adding your tenner to a circular and sizeable wad of notes in his back pocket).

Over time, the leaking drops from the two barrels have fashioned a sharply defined channel by burning out a depression in the concrete surface below.

All this takesplacein a very grubby barn well off the beaten track.

Cheapest 3 day tickets I can find for this are £500 for general admission (standing) :yikes:

I'm guessing cider will be around £6 a pint, so that's 83 pints of cider to make it worth my while.
Book the ferry :hehe:

Ah, Hürlimann lager!

In the 60s & 70s, when most beers were 4% ABV or less, Hürlimann lager was 5% ABV (which is how it earned the nickname "Hooligan).
I think I drank it on a few occasions in the mid-80s when the ABV was slightly less at 4.8%.

To be honest, I have never taken to any beers that are overly strong. Four pints of Hürlimann would have been my lot and my speech would start to be slurred. :hehe:

When I lived in Bristol (1977-83) there used to be a string of cider yards along the Hotwells Road - all with wooden gates and inside trestle tables and big cider vats. They were just starting to close down then - probably all gone now - but still had a hard core clientele of brain damaged regulars who used to be left sitting outside the gates on the pavement when the yard closed. Lethal stuff (sometimes literally)!

Glad to see stowford press getting a few mentions. Wetherspoons knocks it out at less thank £3 a pint yet it's still pleasant!!
