Jack_Russell Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What about Whitbread Gold Label Lager ?, does anyone remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grappler Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 "...not much matches Mansfield..." Anyone remember Mansfield bitter? Crookes club used to serve it I think? I am sure it was like Whitbread Trophy Bitter. I also remember Home Ales (which I think was from Nottingham and had a picture of Robin Hood) and Kimberley Ales, from the same area.

Used to love a nice pint of Mansfield Grappler, the Golden Plover at Hackenthorpe was a Mansfield house years ago. In many ways it was a bit like Wards, not in taste but needed a landlord that looked after it. Can you remember what they used to serve in the Tudor room, the old Social Club at side of pavilion, I'm sure I remember McKewans Scotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrodbo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Long Life small cans. of beer, the first ever can in the UK (I think).each case had individual openers as the ringpull hadn't been invented. also the 7 pint party can which was produced on Merseyside and as the name suggests was bought by partygoers. Forest Brown bottles Whitbread pint pale ale with a screwtop, mainly sold in Scotland. Oatmeal stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes the old party 7 mega cans, if you didn't have a proper opener a hammer and screwdriver would do it, but you got soaked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Long Life small cans. of beer, the first ever can in the UK (I think)...Yes - Long Life was the first beer in cans that I was aware of, but apparently there were some earlier canned beers. They were in a "Brasso tin" type of can with a conical top such as this Welsh brew of 1931.....each case had individual openers as the ringpull hadn't been invented...I still have mine somewhere; it looks like this - one end was used to open cans and the other end could be used for bottles.

Texas Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Double Century, I only saw it and drank it in the Grand Hotel. It was a dark ale in a bottle with posh silver paper around the neck. The mention of a dark mild reminded me of a pint I had in Burton Derbyshire one time. I was in a pub just outside the railway station so it could possibly have been the 'Railway/Station Hotel. I've never tasted mild like it, brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
