Beer mixtures

[Cheshire Cat]

Not exactly a beer mix but years ago while I was a Royal Marine I used to go to a pub in Union Street, Plymouth called the United Services. There was an old couple who were in most evenings used to drink pints of scrumpy topped with a capsule of lighter fuel!!!!!!

Fancy ruining lighter fuel by adding scrumpy.

Poor man's Sambuka?

To misquote Withnail lighter fuel is far superior to Sambuka.

Back in the 90s, my first shift on a busy holiday camp bar, got asked for a mild and light. Had to ask what the .... this was. Turned out to be a bottle of courage light ale and banks mild. Turned out to be quite a nice combination.

Half and half. Dark Mild ( brewed with CML Belgian yeast) and Double Diamond Export from Graham Wheelers Euro book.

Lovely!

I remember in the dim and distant, when many breweries produced an old ale, some people had a mixture of old and bitter known as ‘Mother in Law’.

There used to be a jovial fellow running the Halfway House near Tavistock, who would offer a ‘Pint Across the Pumps’. This consisted of a mixture of whatever he had on draught at any particular time!

In a social club I used to drink in one of the stewards would surreptitiously pour the slops into a pint glass and serve it to anyone drunk and unsuspecting enough, pocketing the money.

Common drink in the 80s where I’m from was half bitter half lager, called a Chinese or a Golden depending on what side of the Mersey you lived. Tasted like pish tbh.
