Real Ale in the Nest

My old man would always have a pint of 'mixed' (half a bitter with half a mild) which I doubt that anybody does now.

Newcastle Brown or Mackeson used to be a choice to mix with either a half of mild or a bitter in my younger days.

Happy days,my dad too, black n tan, half stout half bitter .
A pint of mixed home or shippos regularly went down my throat early 80s

I was a bitter drinker, never tempted by 'mixed' of any kind unless you count the old 'snakebite'. I remember an old bar in Nottm, think it was 'Worrow's' where they would impose a two pint maximum for snakebite as it reputedly got people scrapping.

I detested lager all my life and hated it when I had to live in London and consume the flat, bilge they call bitter which actually, forced me to drink lager.

Yes, half a dozen pints of snakebite would get you rocking

Remember the, here comes the Ansells bitter men, advert, one where the hard guys push their way to the bar, can't find it anywhere on the net, probably the woke folk have cancelled them 😁

I used to do that too. Showing my age now.
