Bypassblade Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 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. I think they also sold Websters Green Label, or is that a beer I dreampt up. ---------- Post added 20-08-2013 at 11:34 ---------- It's all about taste Bypass. It's often what your local serves and what you get used to drinking. Alot of beer drinkers can be quite snobby and dismissive of lager drinkers. I used to be a beer drinker but was quite ill for a while and couldn't drink at all. When I went back I'd lost the taste and wanted something a bit sharper. I've had some b awful lagers over the years but draught Budweiser and Peroni can be really nice if it's kept properly and nicely chilled. I'd never touch 'wifebeater' with a barge pole but some young uns think it's great. Yep it's all about taste Yes Dreb I agree, I like Peroni funnily enough I like Kronenberg 1664, the Carlton at the Cliffe used to have a German beer on Erdinger it was pure nectar in a glass. It's funny you say you went off beer I had a post operative infection when I had open heart surgery, I nearly popped my clogs it was that bad. The strange thing was I lost the taste for all beers, Guinness & strangest of all coffee. I took about 4 years to drink a beer again and only do it moderately now, not touched Guinness or coffee since that day. Oh I tell a lie I was accidentally made a coffee once and I was physically sick after tasting it, strange how taste buds change. I can also say that Samuel Smiths blows John Smiths out of the water.

hillsbro Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think they also sold Websters Green Label, or is that a beer I dreampt up...No, here it is - not to be confused with Red Label Bass or White Shield Worthington, both of which were bottle-conditioned beers of happy memory.. If you ordered either of these in a pub, a well-trained barman/barmaid would ask whether or not you wanted the yeast "lees" that settled to the bottom of the bottle - if not, it would be carefully poured.

hathechewed Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 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. Shipstones AKA (honest p#ss) stopped brewing in Nottingham in 1991, has restarted up and is about to be on sale again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hathechewed Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Talking about jingles and adverts a punk poet (Seething Swells) in the early eighties wrote a poem about Tetley's, it was called Godzilla vs the Tetley bittermen, I can only remember a few lines it went something like this, Joshua, Joshua, as sweet as orange squashua, drink it up and get em in, only women drink lager, only puffs drink gin.
