You’ll get something in an amber glass bottle with a funny sounding name for about 7 quid. Nice beer garden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have also taken a recent liking to Guinness after years of hating the stuff. Have you tried Brewdog’s new stout (“Black Heart”). Weighs in at 4.1 abv (same as Guinness) and has a wee gas container in the can (same as Guinness). Not sure what they’re hoping to achieve with such an obviously similar product but I think tastes pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw it wouldn't be my first choice but sometimes there's absolutely no beating a pint of Tennent's! Tennents was the best pint of lager on the planet when it was brewed at the Heriot (Roseburn).......Went downhill rapidly when they moved the operation along the M8 to the Wellpark........

GlasgoJambo Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Classless as it is (obviously, it’s Hibs) probably a shrewd move in terms of roasters around the UK thinking it’s top bantz.

Costanza Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'm just wondering where the company (which seems very small) got the money to be Hibs record sponsorship deal. Can only imagine as a young company they've been giving some startup capital investment and sponsoring a football team is going to get the brand out there. I know hee haw about whisky but is the money to be made here from brands paying them to be on their database? Seems quite niche to me.

When Wonga paid up our at the time highest ever deal , was it not revealed to be some thing like fifty thousand ? I could be wrong but I think I read that . I suspect Scottish clubs get an awful deal when it comes to short sponsors . Our deals through Anderson are probably worth ten times what we would get through the traditional kind of deals . I could see Hibs deal being about a hundred grand or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
