Names of bygone beers

[GUZZIOWL]

After seeing the jingles and ads on here , do any of you remember this one..

 

The Ancients of old

Drank water so cold

Soon perished and faded away

The locals round here

Drink Tennant's beer

And flourish like flowers in May .

 

(printed on the back of a small card ..from Ye Olde Tankard in Ecclesfield )

Yes - and here's another one. I reckon if I could still drink Stones' bitter (the real Stones, brewed at the Cannon Brewery) I'd survive to at least 92...

 

The horse and mule live thirty years

Without a drop o’ wine or beers.

The goat and sheep at twenty die

With never a taste o’ Scotch or Rye.

The cow drinks water by the ton

But by eighteen it’s nearly done.

The dog at sixteen cashes in

Without the aid of rum or gin.

The cat in milk and water soaks

And then in twelve short years it croaks.

The modest sober bone-dry hen

Lays eggs for years and dies at ten,

All animals are strictly dry.

They sinless live and swiftly die.

But sinful, ginful, rum soaked men

Survive for three score years and ten.

And some of us, but mighty few’

Stay pickled ‘til we’re ninety-two.
