Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Breaker Malt Liquor was the anaesthetic of choice in my youth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I like a proper ale but there is absolutely f**k all wrong with the king of cooking lager, Tennents. I've been on the tour and imagine my surprise when I found out that the mighty Wellpark Brewery bashes out contract stuff like Stella, Budweiser and other stuff that the big boys can't as they've shut a load of breweries. One for the Tennents haters to chew over as they turn their noses up at the mighty T with their "premium" "superior" lager.......brewed by Tennents! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Last year my local Spar had a huge crate of Skol on special offer of about ten bob a can. It was the first time that I had seen it for years. Never bought any as I never really liked it in the first place but I was very surprised to see that it was only 2% alcohol. Dont remember if it was always that low a strength. Anyway I digress, Tennents is my current tipple of choice and I am having a pint of it just now in a proper T glass (stolen, natch). Anytime that I have a beer in the house I will only drink it from the proper glass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a contradiction here as Tennents seem to be bashing out their brew as well. I am not against Tennents as it is clearly better than many, but surely they must be doing something right in respect of the other brands being brewed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stick it from a can. Needs to be served in a pub, poured decent into a glass with the fizzer at the bottom not worn away with a 1000 runs through the glass washer. Try explaining that to some dumb bird behind the bar in The Foundry, see where it gets you..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Skol was everywhere on draft in Brazil. It’s the most popular selling lager over there apparently, which I found strange. I’ve never tried it over here, as I always just assumed it to be tramp juice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was one of those beers that just disappeared like Miller, Labbatts and McEwans Lager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve absolutely no idea. I just found it strange that it was in every pub and restaurant over there, having never actually recalled seeing it on tap over here. Always just assumed it was one of them lagers, that sells for about 40p a can in the supermarkets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaa Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I've endured Skol, McEwans, Carling, Kestrel, Federation Ace and Norseman lagers, I've had a hard life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
