80's drinks
« on: May 07, 2004, 14:57:51 PM »
I suspect this is a subject close to some members' hearts ;)

What drinks bring back happy memories of the 80's?

I remember when bottled beer was an expensive luxury - the only choice was Holsten Pils or Satzenbrau Pils.
Now bottled beers are just expensive ;D

I spent most of the time on snakebites - cider and bitter because it offered the best effectv cost ratio ;D
Parties were either a large bottle of cider or 4 cansof  Boddies

What drinks do you remember or want to forget !

Your a**e in parsley, Shytot! Furstenber is superb - especially draught. The Ubiquitous Chip serves a particularly excellent pint. If you're ever in Glasgow I'll buy you one to prove it!!

Maybe it's got better with age!
I tend to drink Miller when North of the Border
Tennents at a push when out West !
But if the beers free - I'll drink anything  ::) ;D

Millers- too weak. Good on a hot summers day though. Tennents - a pint poured at the Ladywell pub on Duke St., opposite the Tennets brewery is marvellous.

I quite like that Waggledance - not too bad. I also, a few years ago, was in Bruges for a footy match and spent several hours researching Belgian fruit beers. Lovely.

Remember Volari, which was a sparkling white wine/perry sort of thing and my first experiments with Diamond White. :-X :P

I don't know whether memories is the right thing to say about these drinks cause after a few of the latter, I HAD NONE(MEMORIES THAT IS)!!!!!!!!! ::) ::)

I think Volari was a bit like the Lambrini of today.

Yes, Castaway and the other one was Mirage!!!!
