It has a slow stream of regulars that have been using it for years, and some that pop in from the surrounding yards for a couple, but generally pretty quiet. My mum worked a couple of evening shifts a week and on match days until she retired last summer.
4% was a reasonable strength when I was a young fella. Newcastle Brown being one of the stronger beers, it's 4.7% so on the weak side of today's offerings, as is Guinness. The Strongarm sold today is 4.3%, John Smith's 3.8%.
My local in London was the Drayton Park, it's the away pub immediately outside the Emirates away end. An absolute dump but there used to be some decent lads in there. I had a card to get in on match days that let me into an upstairs bar. The match day kept it open, it would have folded without it. I'm guessing the Navi is the same.
It was at the time, 40 years ago, not so much now. Even then, I imagine it was tongue in cheek.
The Navi still sells Strongarm?
Not that I know of, it used to though apparently, as one of the posters mentioned above. I just drink the 'lasses stuff' when I go in there.
Madri is a decent lager tbf, nice medium strength too. But I was amused when my colleague told me his son was going to Spain last summer 'cos his favourite beer is Madri'.
Especially when it's made with the exact same recipe as Coors. Just the temperatures involved making both of them are different.Madri is a decent lager tbf, nice medium strength too. But I was amused when my colleague told me his son was going to Spain last summer 'cos his favourite beer is Madri'.
Magnet or Imperial on draught or brown ale which is cheaper than both ales
Its still funny now to me..... But I ain`t easily offended like some folks nowadays...And I am a copper top myself! lol
No mate, but it sells a cracking pint of Magnet. Unfortunately, I can’t drink it because I drive, but on the odd occasion when I haven’t got the car it’s a good choice.
I still find it funny too, but less people probably do now than they did 40 years ago. My mate who we go drinking with is ginger and he takes no offence when we tell him he has to drink outside while we go in cos he'll scare the ladies.
