Elephant beer was fucking potent.

Just checked on Google, Elephant Beer was 7.0%

Never realised it was that strong..... no wonder the next days were a fookin struggle!!

What about 1080 Cider??

That stuff was double fermented and was mental!!

Thank god that stuff went out of circulation.
In all fairness Robbos do a brilliant Creamy Mild.Tastes more like a poor mans Guinness,but the foam sticks to the pint all the way down.
Try it sometime.

Really !!
We have lost an enormous amount of Brewerys from all over the North West over the passed 20/30 years.
Must admit that although I do drink mainly Guinness now,I remember a couple of years ago having a pint of Lees bitter which I think was called George Henry Lees ?? Nice pint !!

Chesters bitter was quality and brewed just of Chapel st. That was my first proper pint i had in the Griffin on lower broughton road.

Do they still do breaker nowadays?

To those who mentioned Toby Light,

My local pub Wangies in Eccles sell Toby Light on draught for £1.50 a pint. It's a lovely drink.

You can still get Harp in Ireland. Had many a nice pint of Harp in Belfast...

As for Carlsberg Elephant beer, I used to love that, and last saw it at Netto, possibly a couple of years ago now. I'm not sure if they still make if or if you can get it on the internet, I might have to have a look.
