It was in a pub near Newark (and (I was taken there by David Pattinson, the brother of the well known blogger). The beer? Youngers IPA.

The pace of change since then has been much more dramatic.<br /><br />Norseman Lager and Lorimer's had disappeared by then. You could still definitely tell who owned a pub. A Tennent's pub would have Tennent's Lager, Tennent's Special, Tennent's Light and Tennent's 80/–. An S&N pub would have McEwan's Export, Younger's Tartan Special, McEwan's 60/– and McEwan's Lager, which was invariably outsold by the much more popular Tennent's Lager the market forced them to stock as well. <br /><br />Bottled Whitbread (heaven knows who actually brews it now) is still stocked in those few pubs where it hasn't been removed in favour of Peroni or Krusovice. McEwan's Pale Ale staggered on until about 2003, and I last saw Fowler's Wee Heavy about two years ago. Of these old style bottled beers, only Sweetheart Stout continues, seemingly immune to the passage of time.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-38069479772945818222009-06-24T22:38:40.856+01:002009-06-24T22:38:40.856+01:00Harp lager was the big one around my neck of the w...Harp lager was the big one around my neck of the woods in the 70s. Some Greene King pubs also hard a lager that I seem to remember was called Polar - it was ice-cold and tasteless, truly tasteless, more so than today's standards.Paul Garrardhttp://www.realaleblog.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-76771823695011496092009-06-24T22:05:47.301+01:002009-06-24T22:05:47.301+01:00Can remember drinking Youngers Tartan when we thou...Can remember drinking Youngers Tartan when we thought it was the Dog' Bollocks.
