Super Strength Beers - tramp juice

In the westcountry snakebites were popular when I were a lad (preferably made with scrumpy).
Snakebite and black if you're posh.
Snakebite and black and perno if you're posh and in a hurry to get pissed ;)

hipwho?

How fucking dare you put Warka and Duvel in a fucking tramp juice thread. Fucking heathens!

exactly. fine noble beers to be enjoyed primarily for their flavour.
the fact they have a high alcohol content is to enhance the flavour not to get shitfaced, you can drink meths for that.

I was studying in Manchester during Euro 96, and I jimmied the door of one of the, then unoccupied, rooms in a mates dorm, for a place to stay. There was a crate (well two cans shy of a crate) of special brew left behind on the bed. My mate said the Asian guy, who had moved out, mentioned leaving something behind that he could'nt take home.

Questions.

A) Did we win?
B) WTF happened to my shoes?

special k topped up up with captin Morgans, a low point in my life.

Naah, I drink the good, strong stuff to add a veneer of respectability to my fucking raging dipsomania.

The D. To the U. To the mother fucking Vel.

Find raw super strength lager unpalatable? Well try a delicious mixture of half super strength, half water. It goes down lovely and smooth!

By the way, truly sophisticated men drink Tennents, not Special Brew.

10% ftw

You're all fuckin' soft. Vodka. Done.

...or gtfo

Last time I checked that wasn't available in my local offie ^^

I also remember when I was 17 and living with the parents having to skin up a joint in my room, go round the corner to the park to smoke it picking up 2 cans of K cider en route. By the time I'd finished the spliff I'd aim to have the 2 cans finished so as not to arouse suspicions as to why I had been out so long. Man I managed to go from sober to wasted in about 8 minutes flat, aaah the boredom of living at home...

You have to use the passwords and special winks, although I am surprised that upon hearing your aussie accent your local off license owner didn't automatically assume you'd be after this shit????

Also for extra tramp points you can find said ethanol if you go scrounging through the bins around research facilities and similar establishments.

hipwho?

hip-ho

Fair point about Duvel but I was just advertising it, probably the only beer I have ever drank that has got better each time.

But Warka Strong at 99p from the local ISBIR, being 7.0% and got me throughly shit faced after 4 cans fulfils the tramp juice, the fact that it actually tastes alright is just an added bonus.

tramp juice lol... what a name to call it.

My borderline alcoholic friend Phil Parkin invented the Parkin Factor. This reads:

(Volume/price) x alcohol content

The higher the result - the better the booze!

(nb not sure this equation stands up to rigorous mathematical scrutiny but it sort of works, believe)

I gave that Crest Super 10% a try last night (in the name of science), and what a surprise it was.

It doesn't taste like any other super strength beer I've had. None of the super sweetness, in fact it was kind a dry.

Very pleasant, and quite quaffable. Surely too good for the lower classes. More 531 than OTP.

I went to Poland once with the girlfriend, and there are a lot of strong beers to be had over there.
I ad one myself and because i don't drink, hardly ever, 1 small bottle got me quite pissed.
Must have been a strong un'

Been there. If my info is correct, the Gulf States are the biggest importer of 'computer cleaning fluid' in the world.

Went to a darts night with the ex-pats in Kuwait. They made punch out of that shit and fruit juice. Did the fucking trick alright.

I just got straight for the Polish Spirit.. 80%.. available everywhere..

Koshk (Sorry no idea how it is spelt).

A Norwegian drink consiting of bloody strong home distilled spirit and bloody strong pan-boiled coffee.

Tramps vodka - red bull

Does anyone remember 'Crucial Brew'?

It looked like red stripe, but black and red instead of white and red (no doubt, like red stripe, brewed in Luton under license from DG) and it was a small can, a la Gold Label or Mackeson etc. Funnily enough was rather like a mix of those two - I think it was 9%, basically a malt liquor.

Two of them down the rec with some paki black spliffs. It was 'crucial'. Aaah.
