Special has a bad reputation,'Tramps Juice' for one,but it was supped by Churchill in whose honour it was originally brewed.
On the rare occasion I have to choose lager it's always a Brew rather than those insipid Fosters,Stellar etc.
Tramp juice or Chuchillian?

    I miss the word Tramp - use it over on this side of the Atlantic & people have no idea what you are talking about. They use Hobo, Bum or Vagrant - Tramp is much, much better...

    High strength beers are meant to be sipped (like wine), rather than necked like a session beer!

    Tramp Juice, no question. Had a bottle of it to round off a session once and I ruined a pair of Vans trainers after I puked on 'em.

    Well, Bum Juice just doesn't bear thinking about.

    Shame the extra strong brews taste like muk. Get into the European beer if you like strong beers.

    Anything that is undrinkable unless it is chilled to minus 20 degrees is not a decent pint.

    Drank it at a New Year's Eve party aged 14. It was my first taste of lager and I assumed it was typical of the genre. Quite liked it, but did a bit of falling over later.

    Found a place in Milan that served Tennents Scotch, even stronger than the Super version. That was an interesting night

    Same here, last had it when I was 13. Brings back bad memories of being violently sick. I ended up sticking to Thunderbirds and Diamond White until I discovered beer aged 15.

    Just can't drink the stuff. Anyone tried that ridiculously strong beer? Can't remember the percentage. Bulldog was one of the makes but I think they were trumped
