Even before that, interestingly enough, there were jakey pubs in Glasgow still selling something from the old McEwan's Lager fonts. Either S&N kept brewing it all along, or the old-time pubs just kept ordering it and at the S&N distribution centre they'd slap a McEwan's label on a keg of Foster's and send it out.Rob Sterowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870233673933087794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-13450546651915844332009-07-27T10:17:59.135-07:002009-07-27T10:17:59.135-07:00How many breweries still brew their own Lager?
No...How many breweries still brew their own Lager?<br /><br />No-one's really looked at these beers seriously, have they? Piecing together the story of British Lager is quite fun.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-45183161683908747152009-07-27T07:58:31.903-07:002009-07-27T07:58:31.903-07:00I'd forgotten about Holtenbrau.I'd forgotten about Holtenbrau.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-74327120181122831312009-07-27T01:15:07.344-07:002009-07-27T01:15:07.344-07:00I remember Robinsons Einhorn.

Holts before they brewed Crystal and Diamond - both truly awful btw - had one called Holtenbrau, don't know if they sprinkled it with umlauts for extra German authenticity.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310220100267028274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-49701797041778708022009-07-26T23:58:20.004-07:002009-07-26T23:58:20.004-07:00Lees had Tulip then and still brew their own lager...Lees had Tulip then and still brew their own lager - Golden Original - as well as Carlsberg and Holsten.<br /><br />Holts till brew two - Crystal and Diamond, but have dropped the palindromic Regal.
