For SJP Bring back McEwans, the red, blue and green cans - I can’t remember which one is lager/bitter/ale but it doesn’t matter when they all tasted like shite anyway Controversial opinion to most on here, but McEwan's Export is a better drink than any of these over-hopped, grapefruit juice tasting "craft" beers. And McEwan's 80 bob was better still, but I haven't seen that in decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live just round the corner from The Diggers in Edinburgh, which is renowned for its McEwan's 80 Shilling, great pub and pint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's still brewed anymore, but the best pint of Ex you could get anywhere was at the Hodgson's Arms, next door to the old brewery.

Wandy Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Exhibition was actually a pretty decent drink. Everything else that came from S&N though was absolute piss. The best thing to come out of the Scottish & Newcastle brewery was this advert for McEwan's Lager. Absolutely epic & simply wouldn't be made today.
