A much maligned beer brand with its Party 7 tin being very popular at house parties as well as Bradford V Saints in 1976 , it seems Watneys is back as a brand

The word 'tin' for a Party 7 can doesn't do it justice. I remember one poor Forest fan being seriously laid about with one under the by pass at Wembley Central before the 1979 final.
It was all a bit 'wild west' on the approach to the ground, so much so that my skate mate (who'd somehow blagged a ticket for the game) promptly bought a Saints scarf to wear as he felt safer... |  |

Did anyone ever open a party seven without it going everywhere? |  | | |

I’m very proud to have worked at the old Watneys brewery in mortlake until its closure a few years back. I wonder if they’ll bring stingo back as well? |  |

You needed to make two holes to make it work. | | | |

Awful beer.
CAMRA was formed in reaction to the rubbish the breweries were churning out. | | | |

All I remember is it was a pint of Red Barrel and 10 Players no.6 on a Friday night when just paid and half a pint of Starlight and 10 no.10 by the following Thursday. |  |

The standard joke many years ago was why was making love in a punt like drinking Watneys Red Barrel? Because it was the nearest thing to f*cking water. | | | |

If you drank in the Willow in Winchester back in the 70s, you ordered a pint of 'Itchen' as the river ran beneath the pub. | |

The first 'real ale' I remember in Winchester was Gale's HSB which was sold in the Theatre Bar on Jewry Street, circa 1976-7 ish. [Post edited 4 Sep 2020 9:14]

Never been a bitter drinker, although I do remember the odd pint of Starlight as an underage drinker back in 1977, but real ale never agreed with me | |

Yep, and you had to be pretty damn quick to get the 2nd hole made!! It seemed every party I went to where a Party 7 was involved in, nobody had a can opener, but bizarrely a hammer and screw driver/hole punch always seemed to be at hand. Once the top of the can was punctured, the contents would spurt out of the small hole like a geyser until the 2nd hole was made. Most kitchen ceilings in the 70's bore the tell tale splash of shame !! Probably a blessing as it was a truly naff pint. |  | | |
