soulmart Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I've just come back from shopping at Tesco where I bought a bottle of "Coronation Street Premium Ale" (I'll try anything once!). The label on the back says 'This is a beer made in Manchester, brewed with Northern Soul mixed in with the finest Northdown and Golding hops'. At £1 per bottle it's good value and brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'getting drunk on Northern Soul' !! Think I'll stock up on a few more for New Years Eve. All the best for 2010. Soulmart.

This bottle I've bought is brewed by J.W. Lee in Manchester. Now I've had my tea, I'm going to chill out with it. I'll give my verdict later. Cheers, Soulmart.
harpo1 Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Still cannot get my head around drinkin at nighters.....seems to defeat the object, barbs were bad enough at nighters, but the piss, we really dont want things to end up in brawls, each to their own i suppose, i enjoy a drink in the week at home. My only ever cross words encountered in 35 plus years were at b/pool tower when a guy had a go at me for supposedly hogging some seats leading to him having 3 pints knocked over, all i could say was "firstly ive bin' in the modern room for the last 4 hours", "and then why you drinkin anyway the gear no good" piss laden he retorts "you're a wanker", "yes" i reply "i can confirm i have wanked". Then he said "worst of all you dont even know what northern soul is" I'm glad to say i certainly dont know his version...thank fuck, drink what next watchin the match at weekenders!!!...

Harpo, are you sure you didn't knock that blokes beer over? It's not unknown you know
soulmart Posted December 27, 2009 Author Posted December 27, 2009 You know, I think this beer really does have Northern Soul in it !! After a couple of mouthfuls I looked at it and thought "My Weakness Is You". Then about half way through I thought "Something Good's Got A Hold On Me". Now it's finished it's just a "Shadow Of A Memory". Very strange!! Soulmart.
