I got wrecked in Penang some 28 years ago on the Guinness Extra at 8% ABV a hefty brew. Still brewed in Malaysia I believe. Also bottled Guinness brewed in the Gambia quite good. Lots of ageing blonde female mongers there. Tut tut. ! 1 Quote Link to comment

Quinn Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Slight 'Threadf**k. Happy memories of slumming it in Penang about 28 years ago. I went out every night and got lashed on the Guinness Foreign Extra. Next day in my 'flophouse' I had to scurry to the shared toilet (hole in the floor) - which opened up onto the backpackers dormitory. My deposit didn't look much different to the stuff I'd slurped down the night before. (Black with a creamy head) But OMG - the stench - as it crept towards the bunk beds of the great unwashed. 5555 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Still brewed in Malaysia I believe. I spent the night England won the rugby World Cup celebrating with 2 English guys I met in a bar there. Around 2 am one of the local ladyboys passed and we drunkenly invited her in for a drink. She ordered a bottle of said Guinness and commenced to drink it through a straw. I remember thinking to myself Wtf, here is an Irish guy, celebrating England winning the World Cup, it’s November and I’m in shorts and a T-shirt, sitting with a guy dressed as a girl, drinking the sacred brew with a f%#kin stray, man I love S.E.

Quietguy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'd guess tinned lager wouldn't have been available in UK until around 1975. Quote Link to comment

So I think canned beer would only have been available from some time in the 70s. So I'll go for 1977 for canned lager in the UK. Quote Link to comment

ciobha Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That was a question at one of the quiz nights I was at with you boys a couple of years ago. Apt question seeing as the quiz was in Hemmingway's. 1 Quote Link to comment
