Sharp had a huge commercial campaign in the early 00's, but disappeared.

"Drink Harp. Stay sharp."

i remember they had a big promotion on Oranjeboom and it was sold in "coasters" (remember that place) ,i dont see it very often now

its a larger not a tune, did sell it in the caxton about 1yr ago.

Harp is still insanely popular in Northern Ireland, thats about it though.

Ah the Neville, all the teachers from Blatch used to drink there. I still drink there now, sometimes.

Ah, Coasters, was the DJs name Rory? He was a flaming nutter, great fune, loved his video diaries (if you can cal them that)

Now then, back to the thread, I thought it said "Wonderful beers", so far mentions of Watneys, DD and Orangeboom harldy cojour up memories of a fine pint. For me I lament the passing of "Sussex County Bitter" laterly known as "Strongs Country" and now reborn again as Strongs Country, not as good as it was though.

And finally, and this pains me to type the word, but I loved Pompey Royal. Sorry for using that word on here** but Pompey Royal was a first class pint, Whitbread bought it back 10 years ago or so, and it was still good, such a shame.

** all you plastic Man U haters take note, we hate Palace, then we hate Pompey, end of.

Beards best bitter ... in the days when there was only ONE Harveys pub in Lewes (The Swan at Southover) and the Harveys available elsewhere in the town had to be disguised as the product of a brewery that had, in fact, closed many years earlier..

Löwenbräu - once available in just one outlet in Brighton, the Bier Keller on the seafront, near the bottom of East Street.

Löwenbräu - once available in just one outlet in Brighton, the Bier Keller on the seafront, near the bottom of East Street.

Unless I'm much mistaken - and I probably am - I thought it was available at the Northern in Ditchling Road. And at the Font & Firkin about 15 years ago.



If it's the stuff I'm thinking of, it's LETHAL.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Just thinking about all of those wonderful beers that have passed into history. How about........

DOUBLE DIAMOND!

Any more?

Can be purchased on Tap at the Bognor FC social club Bar!

I'm going back much earlier than 15 years ago - late sixties/early seventies.

Even in those days, there was certainly something lethal on sale in the Northern. I remember a group of us being BANNED from there in 1970 after an over-enthusiastic celebration of a mate's 21st birthday. I take these punishments seriously and haven't set foot in the place since.
