I bought this little beauty today … for old times’ sake

.

.

It must be half a century since I have seen the relevant cans

… and I doubt I would ever wish to drink such Beer again.

So can anyone suggest a ‘re-purposing’

Why would they re-introduce a beer that was total **** back in the 70s. Even during my sojourn in London, late 60s/early 70s, you could get decent beer if you looked for it. We even had a trip round Young’s brewery. Draught horses, beam engines and a lock in in the sample room.

What we want is Watney’s

I remember Watney’s Red from my youthful years.

Surely Watney’s and beer are incompatible concepts.

I thought much the same about Worthington’s … until I sampled ‘White Shield’

Is it just me that read Worthingtons as Boddingtons? It’s Whitbread’s massive marketing campaign from the early 90’s that lead to everything ‘needing’ a head on it even if that meant supergluing the sparkler shut.

For the avoidance of doubt: Worthington’s White Shield is [was 50 years ago] a proper traditional Pale Ale that needed careful pouring, so as to leave the finings in the shoulder of the bottle.
