Fancy a Pint!







Drinking Songs

Life was simpler "in d'olden days" to sell beer didn't need a £1 million knock off of "Manon de Source" or some other bit post-modern post-ironic nonsense.

No "in d'olden days" of the 1960's a flexi disc of some dodgy polka tunes with some Rothman smoking actor intoning "pale or Brown" over the top did the trick.

It's a pity that Courage is so ropey nowadays!


















"Here comes Courage" Artist Unknown























I quite like this tune it's got some good sub shadows twanging guitar

I fon a Worthington one - a postcard with a record etched in the middle, from the 1950s. "This is not a postcard, it's a record. Listen to the latest smash hit!"

In 1709 they just used to sell sheet music for songs about Burton Ale, "As performed at Vauxhall Gradens."

So you see - when it comes to breweries, I prefer their earlier stuff.
