Latino Lover Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Metz. Cherry veba was a particularly sickly alcopop. Apple source, an alleged Swedish drink in spoons, about £1 a bottle 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I remember Metz was advertised by some ponce in a ski mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Metz was actually very nice and while we're at it there was also the other staple of late 90s nights out, Reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 There was also Smirnoff Black, an alternative to Smirnoff Ice which was essentially just Vodka and lemonade in a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Colt 45 Caffreys K Cider Skol Kestrel lager although I've heard an advert for it on TalkSport recently? Gawd forbid... Colt 45 I seem to recall as our back up if there was no Breaker left, or maybe my alk sodden mind is playing tricks on me We've still got 3/4's of a bottle of advocaat in a cupboard, I often marvel that after all these years it still keeps its vibrant yellow colour, Arh f**k it that's my Xmas challenge to make at least 1 snowball with it. Wonder what effect it'll have if I can find some Hooch lemonade to mix it with? Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Outside of the Machar in Aberdeen, the only other place I ever saw Youngers No.3 was the Station Bar in Thurso, which stopped selling it round about the time I moved to Aberdeen. Coincidence? ETA: Also I remember a Scottish stout (supposedly a Scottish Guinness) that was pretty poor, and do they still serve draft Theakstone's Old Peculiar on draft (they did when I were a lad) but last time I was in there the place had been all "poshed up" and lost most of its charm ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sanatogen Tonic Wine Got a bottle out of a chemist's on Woodlands Road many moons ago... Not seen draft Becks anywhere recently? Last I seen draft Becks was in the Tower Gouman hotel, next to Tower Bridge in London. Used to occasionally stay in it whilst working down their. Reckon that would be about 4-5 years ago.

Sergeant Wilson Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 A decent Saturday used to be a can of Breaker and a Pomagne chaser, an excellent Saturday was a Desmond.Good old Desmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 My Dad used to go on about Younger's No.3. Sold it in Dunfermline in a few pubs. I think the Brewery was bought over by Scottish and Newcastle? I think they did a heavy or special also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Metz. Alcopop type shite. Good call but you just reminded me of the really creepy adverts. Eta: lesson to read rest of thread first before jumping to a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I miss Carlsberg Elephant. That stuff was rocket fuel and the added strength improved Carsberg's woeful flavour. Also used to get those party kegs of Karlsberg on occasion, but never see them anymore. As a youth we'd get Concorde fruit wine, apple Thunderbird or big 1.5 litre bottles of 4% Lambrusco, which I guess would probably be a precursor to Lambrini. Other youthful favourites were Merrydown or that sherry that jakies drink, the name of which escapes me now (wasn't Croft, it was a dark sherry with red lettering on the label).

milton75 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Saw Holstem Pils in a shop the other day. It seemed to be pretty popular a few decades ago, but hardly ever see it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Tennents Ember - A fine pint that was my drink of choice in the late 90s drinking in the 13th Note McEwans lager - oddly saw it in tap recently in The Oran Mor but you rarely see it anywhere Murphys Black/Red - poor mans Guinness You can get Tennent's Ember in The Griffin across from the King's Theatre. You can get McEwan's lager in Ben Nevis on Argyll Street too. And some sort of /60-shilling thing too but I don't know what that is, and just read people on here talk about it. I guess it doesn't help that I'm not 60. You can get Murphy's at the Campanille Hotel near the SECC/Hydro. Not seen draft Becks anywhere recently? Not sure about actual Becks, but you can get Becks Vier at the aforementioned Campanille Hotel and the Genting Casino. Some pool hall too, maybe on W. Regent Street, but I can't for the life of me remember the name. Oranjeboom (in Scotland) I got four cans from a off license just outside Liverpool Lime Street station last year for the journey home from a stag do but can't find it up here You can get that in either Stereo or Nice 'n' Sleazy's in the downstairs gig bit, I just can't remember which one. I miss Carlsberg Elephant. That stuff was rocket fuel and the added strength improved Carsberg's woeful flavour. Had a few cans of that when I was over in Berlin in April and Dusseldorf in September. Lethal stuff but actually quite pleasant. Probably a good thing they don't sell it over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Do you still get bottles of Red Square? That was the first ever drink I purchased from a bar when I was about 15 from a dodgy underground pool place called Frames in Stirling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
