CostaJambo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I was in Edinburgh for a few days over the week-end and we ended ujp drinking a beer which I remember everybody was drinking for spell when I was in my prime 'up town' years from about 85 to 90. Are there still trendy beers which everyone drinks for a while before moving on to the next one and if so what are/were they in your day? P.S. The beer we were drinking was Red Stripe. Still my all time favourite beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't decide on what beer to drink based upon it being seen as 'trendy'. If you drink a beer deliberately to be seen as 'trendy' or 'cool', then you're trying too hard. Drink beer you like. Nothing else should matter.

Cairneyhill Jambo Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Schlitz lager. There's a pub near the bus station in Perth that still has the sign outside though I doubt they still sell it. I miss Gillespies Stout that was brewed in Edinburgh. It was a cracking pint, and you got it in cans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I've always preferred continental lagers to the shite we've got to deal with normally. Personal favourite is any of Amstel / Heineken / Stella. However, I've grown quite fond of bottles of Desperado which I suppose 'could' be considered trendy (if you conveniently ignore it's ability to put you flat on your arse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bellend, a guy I was in company with after the game on Sunday was drinking pints till I offered him a drink, he got a double morgans and coke! Back on topic I would say a trendy beer would be a bottle of Budvar or Peroni. When attending house parties I now take a crate of Kopenhagen. It's a premium lager from Carlsberg, really nice and in a cool bottle that looks like a minature bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muldoon74 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Gillespies mid nineties had a massive revival.. Lovely stuff. I done the "gillespies pub crawl".. you got your card stamped in every pub you had a pint and after 15-20 pints got a t shirt from whereever you were. I also found my local safeways (now morrisons to you young pups..) were doing gillespies for 20p a can. 20 fecking p a can!.. bought 2 crates for under a tenner.. I win. There was also a huge push on smooth lagers int he mid nineties.. Guinness Enigma and Tennents SD.. Feck Me. utterly lethal stuff. Enigma (Not round, not lager!) came in an octagonal can.. Silver and was the Mutts... really tasty stuff.. Tennents SD was available in my local (Da Vincis hotel and Bar in Livi when it looked more like someones front room before they turned it into a microwave oven..)... I swear SD fuc**ed my tits right in... All I remember is bouncing off of every slat in every garden fence on the path from the pub to my house.. Both blew my utter tits off. How I miss the mid nineties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Brothers cider seems to be a 'cool' thing to drink right now I'd say Rekorderlig is more up there for the Ciders. When I first say the thread title I thought of Desperados. Probably due to having a bottle tonight, although The Chanter had ran out of lime so it tasted pretty bad.

Cracking stuff & the bottle is bigger than any other . Stella Cidre is magic aswell. It's now only half 9 on a Friday morning & I want to start drinking.

Paolo Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 At the movement, I like Tiger or St Mungos in draught. Bottle beer, I like Innes and Gun. I do not know if they are trendy, but I like them. The last has been varied from Bud to Wife Beater, which I still drink sometimes and Staropramen or Asahi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertracoon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I work in a bar that sells San Miguel and Peroni for 4.85. I'll never get tired of bell ends coming in and asking for a Peroni before asking the price then looking like someone's just died when they get the bill. Even better if they order a Peroni shandy, the pretentious pricks. It's either pretentious knobs or young guys who think they're the tits trying to impress some ******* who's hanging off their arm that tend to buy expensive shit pints. I have no time for them.

Regal Kingston Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 TO answer the OP - I would say there are many pretentious beers at the moment. The 'designer lager' scene is thriving! Peroni - Is probably number one at the moment Blue Moon/Innes & Gunn too Also a big surge in continental beers around the pubs of Edinburgh which isn't really pretentious - just for folk who know what they like When I was growing up it was all about; Labbatts Blue Bud Ice Fosters twist Becks Tennents SD in pints As another poster mentioned this stuff knocked you bandy! Sure it was about 5% which is stronger than Stella (Although I remember Stella used to be 5.2%.. don't know if it changed?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
