Welcome back, Boddies.

I served my time as a printer at Cloister Press on Parrs Wood Lane. The Dog and Partridge was opposite, from 1969 when I started as an apprentice till 1975 when I was made redundant, I spent every dinner time I was in work in that pub. My 1st dinnertime in there I supped a pint in half an hour but soon worked my way up to 3 pints in half an hour while playing darts and eating my sandwiches. Happy days and great memories. Obviously a Boddies, I forgot to mention.

I dont have great memories of my dad's farts after a session on the Boddies. Good to see it back.

It's not what it was is it? Under the umbrella of a huge conglomerate namely a Belgian ship with that many yank stickers on it that it might sink.

Boddies came from Strangeways.

Loved the taste of the old Boddies but hated the smell of hops brewing it made me feel sick.

It is the quality of the pint that matters to me

It isn't brewed the same way it just isn't the same product, you might as well just say you like the pattern on the can.

Had a pint in the Victoria tap yesterday, it was ok, not what I remember, £5.40 a pint

Any excuse to post this

Have they slashed the ABV?

Manchester Bitter from The Marble Arch in town is apparently a clone of the old recipe. Im not old enough to have tried the original so can't compare, but it is nice

Used to be around 4.5% I think. They're all at it, I was in Sainsburys yesterday and noticed that Grolsch is now 3.4%!! That was the first beer I got pissed on, definitely used to be at least 5%

Think it said 4% when I had a pint of it yesterday

Was a premium lager that I'm sure. Like most they have reduced the strength to avoid the higher tax and probably sell more as it takes longer to get pissed.

Nobody should like drinking ale that tastes like a piss stained carpet and smells like roadkill.

In the old handpull days it was a “live beer” ie still fermenting. Had to have a soft peg and stand for for a day or two to settle. The last 6-8 pints were about 5.5 and sent people loopy, after that very last pint cleaned you out like a dose of salts, fond memories of the first bit, bad memories about the last pint starting to work on the last bus home.

My father in law used to saythat a good pint of Bodies tastes like milk. I know what he meant, it was very smooth and very easy to drink.

It was always a good session beer, around 3.2 percent.

It was the 2nd cheapest beer around back in the day.
