Wandy Posted May 30, 2024 Share Posted May 30, 2024 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.
