Derek Patterson Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Whilst the tinnys have made a come back, I haven't seen draught Tartan Special for a while. The Royal has it. It's not pish but not great. Best suggestion is a pint of 80/- in the Kirky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Does anyone else reading this just not drink beer.........or lager.........or ale? I think in my lifetime the accumulative total of 1/2 a pint of the aforenamed drinks have passed my lips. Cider or Vodka for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 How bad must life have been that going to that shit pub and drinking Tennents was a better alternative? Playing that classic song on a loop in the pub would have made it worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milton75 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 While I'm a little sad that you don't see McEwan's 80/- (or 60/- & 70/- for that matter) on draught everywhere these days, the truth is that both Caledonian and Stewart's 80/-'s are better than McEwan's ever was. Stewart's is particularly lovely if consumed with good fish and chips in a pub that knows what it's doing. Do you still get McEwan's 90/- in bottles? Not seen it in ages.

Derek Patterson Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The Lonsdale in Troon still does 60/- as far as I'm aware. Monster will ken for sure. Caley 80/- was excellent the last time I had it. More biscuitty than McEwan's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few McEwans pubs in Dundee area actually. Boars Rock and Birkhill inn deffo have them on tap and its a nice pint. Very little of it on tap in Falkirk area though which seems to be a Belhaven Best hotbed. Smooth pint but little body or strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnynivenEC Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 generally a tennents man, if that's not available i'll just take fosters or carling most of the time! Carlsberg's like drinking pish water and heineken has a horrible aftertaste. But i'm prone to a wee pint of best or staropramen every now and again. Was at the pub quiz last night and had a few pints of harviestoun bitter and twisted, glorious...definitely my new pint of choice when i'm in sportsters!

Billy Jean King Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Never mind McEwan's Lager, what the hell has happened to McEwan's Export? Nothing much else than it when I first stepped into pubs for your non-lager drinker and when I do try it in a pub out of nostalgia, the stuff is absolutely honkin'. Edited to add; couldn't be arsed looking through the whole thread and someone has made the same point. It's Ok in cans. You mean a red grenade as McEwans Export was fondly called in canned form. My brother is in the navy and frequently brought back cases of bonded beer. He once brought export strength McEwans export in 330ml coke sized cans. Even better was McEwans Pale Ale in green cans.
