And McEwan's 80 bob was better still, but I haven't seen that in decades. I love craft as much as the next, but will always drink best scotch in the local. Lush.

Chris_R Posted May 30, 2024 Share Posted May 30, 2024 Many, many years ago (like 25 years back at least) I swear I saw Brown Ale on tap somewhere. Anyone confirm that was a thing? 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, 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.
