Have you ever tried Special Brew ?

During those 'crazy' student days a few years back, a friend turned up to a house warming with a six paxk of SB. I was pressured into downing a oint of it, of which I got abouit half way down before retching.

My friend went one better, and after four cans she proceeded to vomit copiously all over our nice new house.

Does anyone remember something called "Gold Label".
Very small cans, but packed one hell of a punch.
I'm sure it was stronger. Does it still exist?

yeah it is still around. I used to work in a co-op part time in my student days and the local pikeys used to buy this as soon as it hit the shelves.

Someone bought me a can and it's been sitting in the fridge at home for at least 12 months now. Probably past its sell by date, not that you'd be able to tell the difference.

I'm thinking of using it to kill the slugs in the garden.

My girlfriend (now wife) bought me a can once when we were up truly hill in my first car (Hillman Imp) for 3 minutes of passion. It was the most revolting thing that ever passed my lips (the beer) and I had to discreetly pour it under the car so not to offend her.

I remember going to a party when I was about 17, not long into beer, I got 4 cans of Kestral. Wow. Remeber liking it for some stupid reason and it blew my head off. Dont drink beer much anymore, stick to v&c. One of my mates can drink beer all day and be fine and he doesnt touch the stuff after downing 4 cans of it on the train between Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath station about 6 years ago. Offically, its 8 minutes from B.Hill to H.Heath!!
