[Drinking] What did you drink when you first hit the pub

[happypig]

Carlsberg in the Buccaneer or Carling Black Label in the Alhambra.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

1983ish Toby Bitter/Greene King IPA (Downview Worthing)

- soon migrated to King and Barnes HSB (Thieves Kitchen)

Did you drink in the old Adur pub (later called the Blue Lagoon, now the Gather Inn) on Hove seafront near The Lagoon. Worthington E and Double Diamond are what I started on in there (under age) 33p a pint.

Probably a pint of Stella in the Bath Arms or a Pernod and Blackcurrant. To think I used to drink half a dozen pernods then drive home

We used to have our fishing club Christmas match on the river there, followed by total carnage in the pub afterwards. It’s not that kind of pub any more [emoji3525]

I used to go to the Duke of Wellington ( still do) in Shoreham circa 1986 as a 15 year old but only to see the musicians. My parents drank there and were friends of the proprietors, who's son I went to school with . . . . So at about 16, I used to go to the Bridge, usually Tuesday when the scooterists met up . . To make me appear a grown up I wouldn't order cider, which I didn't particularly like, or pissy lager, so went for Southdown Ale. . .

Still on the ale 30+ years later.

I was drinking in there in 71 72 when a couple of old licensees ran it, beer straight from the cask, nearest I got to fishing was the finnings!

Brought up in a small village in Devon (early 80s). Age limits were nothing more than ‘guidelines’ and the barman was part of our cricket club so I knew him well. Cheapest drink on offer was a pint of ‘rough’ (cider supplied by one of the local farmers - cloudy and in a wooden barrel, **** knows what was in it). 50p a pint - a couple of quid was enough to **** your guts up for the following day at least, which was awkward as a 15 year old sometimes.

Progressed to purple nasties once I had a job. Half of rough, half of lager, pernod and blackcurrant. Happy days [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Skol - in 1975 in a pub in Hayward’s Heath that I don’t think exists anymore

Pernod & Black, yes

got very ill on that once

Me too!

We won a football cup when I was 17 ish and playing with fully grown gladiator men.
The local boozer had a nice long row of optics; we went along that row filling that cup up and topping it up with Cinzano.

We were hardcore, I was puking like a cat with a furball for hours, and all I could taste for days was the Pernod.

Special times.

Skol seemed everywhere back then, I do believe Skol means 'cheers' in Danish, however I think it was south American.

 

[Caveman]

Snakebite and black.

Same here, or the odd Newcastle Brown Ale, not the best drinks for a 15/16 year old

 

[matumaini]

Bitter shandy and a pack of Riley's salt and vinegar crisps✓
