Ahhh, IPA, had my first pint of IPA on a school trip to see Shakespeare's house, or his Mum's gaff, not 100%, remember the chintzy wood frame houses, at least I think I did, can't imagine school teachers letting me go to the pub, but I have a distinct memory and it was the 70's.
Oho, a Rebus = pint of heavy, malt chaser and packet of peanuts or scampi fries, the Breakfast of Champions, had a few of them in pubs all over the land from spit and sawdust pubs in Heanor or Ilson, to a pub crawl on Portabello Rd & quite a few in Ma Murphy's in Bantry Co Cork, after a while I could understand the old lads down from the hills with their thick southern Irish accents. That'd set me on me arse now, used to be able to drink 14 pints of Special Brew with chaser's and walk home, albeit in a wobbly sort of diagonal weave. Hells teeth though, the morning after.....
