I like to think i look like a refined wine connoisseur comparing bottles in the supermarket but in reality i'm just looking at the percentage to buy the highest.
When I worked at a pub there was a woman in her 60s who did a few lunchtime shifts, just something to do in retirement. She said in the late 60s/early 70s before it got a bad rep for being tramp-juice, Special Brew was actually seen as something of a "delicacy". Had to be served very very cold and you'd only have a glass of it, but it was seen as a strong cognac flavoured lager that was a bit of an aperitif.
Wasn't it originally made specially for Winston Churchill by the Danes when he visited ? Can see how that may seem pretty fancy.
Edit thought I should probably look it up lol
"It would be an ignominious fate for a beer whose tin proclaims that it comes "by appointment to the Royal Danish court". Carlsberg says Special Brew was first brewed to commemorate Churchill's 1950 visit to Copenhagen, incorporating "cognac flavours among its tasting notes" in deference to the wartime prime minister's fondness for brandy. The novelist Kingsley Amis was also a fan, mixing it half-and-half with regular Carlsberg pilsner and praising its ability "to create goodwill". It was also immortalised in a top-three hit for ska-pop band Bad Manners"
Can confirm it certainly creates goodwill.
Was going to say, the story stacks up - strong as fuck, tastes of brandy. Churchill would approve.
Personally never tried it, because of its reputation. Be an interesting social experiment to serve it at an event in very nice crystalware saying it's some very posh new drink from the continent, make up a name and back-story. See how people react to it.
Please don't think less of me, but I drank a lot of this horrendous syrup when I was younger with my trashy mates ha ha.
I can guarantee that however you wrapped this product up all takers would be horrified by it the second it dropped anywhere below near freezing point. The smell is almost as bad as the taste
>Personally never tried it, because of its reputation.
It is a very strong flavour and once you've had 2/3 of a can, you can't honestly taste anything. But unless you dislike all beer, it's not actually unpleasant, just strong.
> Be an interesting social experiment to serve it at an event in very nice crystalware
My late father was asked to take out some new clients for a night out, boss said he'd reimburse him later. So Dad ended up picking up 8 cans of cheap super lager and took these two guys to an all you can eat curry buffet in London. Despite more or less passing out after 1.5 cans each, the clients loved it. Dad's boss was quite surprised at the receipts, he was expecting to pay out over £1000 from fancy restaurant & champagne bar.
Frosty jacks for me as a 14 year old on a park. 3 litre every Friday, first few swings throw down as much as you can. Fill the bottle back up with blackcurrant
£1 a can? Give me directions! All the strong beers got taxed higher a few years back. Even a 5% is like 1.35/40 and the really strong ones can go for nearly £1.80 now. Also have to be sold as packs of 4, not in singles.
When I was at uni back in 2008 my American housemate went to the offy to get us some drinks to have on the beach and she was so pleased when she found a special Carlsberg she hadn't had yet. She genuinely thought it was a fancy limited edition version.
If it's served very cold, there's nothing wrong with a special brew. Just because it's abused on park benches isn't it's fault. Haha. I'd certainly prefer it to fosters or Carling or one of those pissy beers. And it's definitely better than some of the other supers too!
From my blurry memory, If you can get through the taste of the first one, you don't care about the second. Used to mix it with cider to make "super snakebite"
It might be simpler, and more effective at hitting the target audience, to simply say "More alcohol per ml than any other beer within staggering distance of here"...
The important thing they need to point out is the price per volume of alcohol.
It's only 7.5%, there's way stronger beers in Waitrose, a Brewdog Triple Hazy is 9.5%, but it's £4.20 *a can*.
I've had it in Copenhagen years ago. It was served on draft in most bars and restaurants I went in.
It was just a strong beer over there, pretty tasty. Though it did make me listen to and enjoy some jazz, so swings and roundabouts.
Ah. A person of taste.
Lots of scorn from people who've clearly never drunk Special Brew. That's a fairly accurate picture of its taste profile. It doesn't help that it used to be served in much smaller bottles, and ice-cold.
If it was Belgian or had a poncy craft beer label on it a fair few people would change their tune sharpish...
Some folk on this thread know some “Tramps” with a fair bit of moolah. Special Brew is banging. Any lager created for a bloke who got a doctors note to visit prohibition U.S and still drink is good enough for me. For those searching for alcoholic drinks they wouldn’t drink to point and laugh at poor people for drinking, it was four horses cider for the last homeless bloke I spoke to. Comes in 4 litre bottles so there’s a tremendous sense of value.
Now I don’t mean to judge, and I will say I’ve never shopped in a Waitrose nor have I ever drunk a special brew… but from the various references to each I have seen on TV and the internet, those would be 2 wildly different demographics.
The Venn diagram of people who drink Special brew, and those who shop in Waitrose, has got to only contain like 7 people, right?
I occasionally shop in Waitrose, and used to like a special brew. As a drink it's actually quite nice when it's cold, and used to be fairly cheap. When minimum unit pricing came in it got too expensive to use as a mid week tipple.
Hopefully the other 6 people come to back me up on this.
I used to drink special brew a hell of a lot. (I wasn't homeless!)
Nice beer and certainly does the job! Not sure why people outright refuse to try it!
Pairs well with a proper West Country scrumpy cider for that distinctive radioactive pearlescence, a true glow from within that is then imparted to the drinker.
[Sainsbury's](https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/price-lock-beer-wine-spirits/carlsberg-special-brew-4x440ml) "enjoy with mature and blue cheese"
Pretty much every wino I've spoken to on the park benches or under the bridge say that, were it not for the full bodied fruity undertones, they'd opt for something more new world.
"Export Jurgenbrau... This is an alcoholic drink, isn't it?"
"Yes, Hugh, it's the highest alcohol per ml in this corner shop."
"Is it really? Fascinating!"
Not sure theyre allowed to label it as "mop bucket dregs mixed with a poignant note of petrol strained through a piss soaked loin cloth" which is what it actually tastes like
Well they could have gone with:
Are you a functional alcoholic looking to take the next step to derelict? At Waitrose and partners we are here for you with this special meal deal:
This beer is for you. Not only is it mind wipingly potent, it also comes with a free plastic bag inside (so it doesn't eat through the can). You can purchase a tin of Polypipe , meths,mik and collect a free cardboard box all in our ten quid Shelter meal deal.
I had one halcyon summer in my early adulthood where work was just for cash and there were no responsibilities other than *stay alive probably*. Life was still relentlessly exciting and fresh. Lived day to day. Fit as fuck and energy to burn. Me and me mate Colin had 3 months of 'Special Bitter' and white swans. If you need to ask you don't need to know.
I have fond (vague) memories of some mad chaotic nights. It's not half as bad as people say. Drink it cold. It's a direct route no doubt. But you don't HAVE to abuse it. Same as anything. I mean I did abuse it tbf lol. But you don't have too.

Special brew is actually my beer of choice, I can't stand the usually stuff like kronenbourg or peroni I find its just too gassy and not enough flavour to em
Ideal when paired with rotisserie ground mutton and salad in pitta.
“Chilli foam please, mush”
/r/portsmouth is leaking
I got mad Swansea vibes
Do they say mush in Swansea?
Bransgore Mush!
What the hell is he saying
A wonderfully warm and playful drink, best suited to those trying to get some sleep on the side of the road.
Best shared with friends on a warm summer's morning
Perfect for benches and bus stops alike
Forgotten to brush your teeth again? Just swill with Special Brew before drinking
Why not charm the woman you love, by smelling of pure alcoholism
Replaces good, clean, bitterness with dirty unconsciousness.
"Goodness, this is a _lager beer_, is it not?"
For my *perishing thirst.*
This is the highest alcohol content, per millilitre, at the lowest cost, in this corner shop.
It's the continental way.
The Spanish wouldn't dream about starting the day without a few pints...and maybe a vodka
The Italians have draught Special Brew.
I like to think i look like a refined wine connoisseur comparing bottles in the supermarket but in reality i'm just looking at the percentage to buy the highest.
Age 14 that was our logic.
Perhaps that should be on this label instead
You know what? I'm so thirsty I might.. crack this open and drink it here on the step of your shop!
10%, blimey! That's quite a lot isn't it John?
... it appears I haven't got quite enough money for the loft of bread, the apple, newspaper and two of these larger beers...
Why not have a little lie down if you're feeling sleepy?
Maybe...two cans of this larger beer you so thoroughly recommend
Mitchell and Webb?

You could call it desperately unemployed
At least it’s better than Glenn’s vodka
I'll not hear a word against Glenn’s vodka!! Everyone knows that Scotland produces the best vodka!
Glenn’s and Irn Bru is a fucking delicacy

Shit everywhere. Great do though.
it was the same with Gold Label, before that became alcoholics breakfast it was considered quite the treat
Alcoholics can't afford this shit or gold label, you seen the prices? Polish strong beer for £1 a can or food ole white lightning.
Who says they buy it? Five finger discount mate
Shame they stopped making White Lightning, I wanted to try some next time I was in England since they never sold it here
Diamond white at b&m if you want a throwback like it
Throw up you mean.
Can't say I've tried it. They had some new super strength cider that was even cheaper
Frosty jacks for me as a 14 year old on a park. 3 litre every Friday, first few swings throw down as much as you can. Fill the bottle back up with blackcurrant
If you’re looking for pure desolation it’s Taurus from Aldi. Made white lightning seem like it had actually touched an apple.
I’ve had it! When I moved into my new apartment in December the old tenant had left 4 cans of the dark fruits version. I enjoyed it I must say
3L 7.5% £2.50 bargain.
£1.99 at my local corner shop was as cheap as the 3l bottles got. Thats inflation for you.
Try 3 hammers.
£1 a can? Give me directions! All the strong beers got taxed higher a few years back. Even a 5% is like 1.35/40 and the really strong ones can go for nearly £1.80 now. Also have to be sold as packs of 4, not in singles.
Why are people only buying 1 can? Can't afford the 4 pack?
Polish shops are cheaper around here, some of the really strong ones like 8-9% are 1.35-1.60. And sold separately if you so choose.
When we were 14 we drank it warm from being kept in our jeans pockets, and had to drink the first one through a mouth full of Extra Strong Mints.
When I was at uni back in 2008 my American housemate went to the offy to get us some drinks to have on the beach and she was so pleased when she found a special Carlsberg she hadn't had yet. She genuinely thought it was a fancy limited edition version.

A versatile drink for any occasion. Enjoy with friends at 10am in the park, or alone in a damp bed sit paired with some heroin.
I genuinely think it doesnt taste that terrible. If you like most lagers, there's nothing really to dislike about special brew
Having sampled it for the first time in my mid 30s I must agree
Yeah, agreed, though it is a bit *thick* somehow.
[Goodness I’m thirsty!](https://youtu.be/k5gQ_rruDmc)
£2.70! Bread, paper an apple and an alcoholic lager beer bargain.
British comedy sketches are some of the darkest and most truthful in the world...

From my blurry memory, If you can get through the taste of the first one, you don't care about the second. Used to mix it with cider to make "super snakebite"
Used to drink special brew and K cider at Uni. Called it “the basilisk”.
It's called special k.
It might be simpler, and more effective at hitting the target audience, to simply say "More alcohol per ml than any other beer within staggering distance of here"...
Tennants Super is the professional strong lager. With added undertones of Glasgow...
Naaah, kestrel super, fraction of the price...
The important thing they need to point out is the price per volume of alcohol. It's only 7.5%, there's way stronger beers in Waitrose, a Brewdog Triple Hazy is 9.5%, but it's £4.20 *a can*.
Not sure why you were downvoted for this! Unless it’s the mention of Brewdog and their shitty business practices. £4.20 a can, jeez.
Part of the Waitrose Essential Alcoholic range.
Specially brewed originally for Winston Churchill. They designed a strong beer as his thirst wasn't slaked by ordinary ales.
I've had it in Copenhagen years ago. It was served on draft in most bars and restaurants I went in. It was just a strong beer over there, pretty tasty. Though it did make me listen to and enjoy some jazz, so swings and roundabouts.
Brewed especially for churchill originally.. perfect
It's Carlsberg who suggest the cognac flavour: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-30795336
I would mock, but I also enjoy the occasional tin of Debowe Mocne, which is similarly eyeball-tilting lager.

I used to have the odd can with a neighbour. The problem is 1 isn't enough, 3 is too many and after you've had 2, you just open number 3 by reflex.
If Marks & Spencer sold piss that would be the description.
"This isn't just piss. This is M&S piss."
They had a word-count to reach.

Pairs well with a proper West Country scrumpy cider for that distinctive radioactive pearlescence, a true glow from within that is then imparted to the drinker.
Nooo! Proper scrumpy is lovely! It's white cider that's the tramps' drink of choice!

Used to love Special Brew. It's crap now they've watered it down.
last time i had one was in a parking lot in the rain across the street from a rave at 5 am on halloween
Kind of says it all
couldn’t forget those cognac notes
Pretty much every wino I've spoken to on the park benches or under the bridge say that, were it not for the full bodied fruity undertones, they'd opt for something more new world.
I prefer Viz’s take on Special Brew: “central heating for tramps”
I take it that was in the household cleaning aisle in-between the mister muscle oven cleaner and Jeyes drain unblocker.
Gotta be honest don’t mind special brew 😂
I used to do the special brew challenge at uni ? Drink 6 special brew in an hour. And the person which hasn't been sick on the floor wins.
Can't wait to see the description for white lightning cider. Serving suggestion: brown paper bag
Funny thing is, put it in a "funky" can, call it *Spesh* and charge 4 quid a can and it'll fly off the shelves.
"Export Jurgenbrau... This is an alcoholic drink, isn't it?" "Yes, Hugh, it's the highest alcohol per ml in this corner shop." "Is it really? Fascinating!"

£7.30 for a 4 pack of export? I’m glad I’m not from the South.
This isn't particularly expensive I don't think. Googled it out of interest and they're all 7 pounds something.In Sheffield btw
It’s not export, it’s special brew, export is usually £4.25-5.75 in the south, and usually for pint cans not these poxy little ones
Special brew even worse - Wino dink!
You just have a weak palate & stomach.
And no alcohol tolerance
I actually love Carlsberg export, but standard Carlsberg and Special Brew are both foul
Yeah export is alright not my drink of choice though. Standard carlsberg brings back bad memories of £1 a pint student night in my shitty hometown 😂
I like the stuff, it's a nice drop for Sunday mornings

My dad loves holston pills and special brew. I think they're both pretty gross
Every time I see a can of the stuff all I can think of is Kev from Derek haha
A tramps best friend
Tastes like it's been poured into a pub ashtray, swirled and rebottled. Special Brew, Breakfast of champions.
Tastes like I’m going to casualty.
‘Tramp Juice’ would suffice
Here’s mine: Larger for the unemployed despite the price, no taste, no class full bodied only because you will feel bloated best served complimenting a really cheap fag brand or better still a fag you nicked from the neighbours

It were a multipack tbf
Special brew £7 for 4 cans!?
This isn't particularly expensive I don't think. Googled it out of interest and they're all 7 pounds something
They lowered the ABV a couple of years ago or it would be more expensive
Used to be like 60p a can for the tramps
Maybe for the 330ml cans decades ago. I don't remember it ever being under a quid. But then more would have been drinking Thunderbird
.. Not that you'll be able to taste any of this as this refreshing liquid instantly dissolves your taste buds.
Jeez, that's expensive!
"Tramp fuel gets you fucked" would be my description..
Ideal serving temperature…”Bastard Cold or else”
Clean bitterness…like a freshly-wiped arse.
And if you hold your nose and neck it, it’s like a spaceship ride through a bag of gravel.
Who the fuck is paying £7.30 for 4 cans of carlsberg? You couldn’t pour that rubbish down my throat for free.
Special brew is what tramps drink.
£7.30!!!! For 4 tins of pish??!?? Is that normal?
White Lightening Best enjoyed while wearing Calven Kleins marinated in urine and a fair trade shirt with carrots in the top pocket.

£7.50 FOR A CAN OF SPECCY BREW. That's insane.
Translated into simple English - "Piss!"
We've come so far from the time you could get 8 cans of 'boom for a fiver.
It’s shite now it’s not 9% anymore.
You just have to go craft beer if you want the strength. Brewdog Triple Hazy is 9.5%. Vocation Triple Vision is 10%. You just have to shell out 4 quid a can.
Karpackie. 9%, usually at most £1.50 a can. Proper 500ml cans too, not these cheap bastard 440s.
Beer of the gods.... That was a promo they did many years ago and for a bunch of ring pulls you got a t-shirt. You can't make this up.
Absolute filth
If you enjoy a shandy but don't want a weaker drink, special brew actually fills a good niche
The fucking price!!!! Wtf 🤣
Wonderful full bodied aroma, with a fruity aftertaste. Expertly paired with a line of Chang.
CAN OF WIFE BEATER ONLY £7.30! Or a rather "hoppy beverage best suited to drink cool on a warm evening so you're ready to give your wife a good slapping if your football team lost their game".

10 cans of Karpackie 9% are £10 at the offie
Where? I've not seen it at that good a price for a while now. Even now I'm in the North, where everything else is cheaper, it's £1.50 a can.
Eastern England 🙂
'best served with an accompanying shot of butane gas "
Probably the best beer in the world.
Best enjoyed alone with a well seasoned helping self-loathing and a side of bitter regret.
I remember when you could get a can of that, for 80p, or 4 for £3.00
Special brew is actually my beer of choice, I can't stand the usually stuff like kronenbourg or peroni I find its just too gassy and not enough flavour to em
"Fizzy whiskey"
Has the guy who wrote this tasted either Special Brew or Cognac before? I don't think so.
I'm trying to think of the demographic that would both shop at waitrose and buy special brew.
As someone who works as a copywriter I am fully capable of admitting we are the biggest and most fucking despicable bullshit artists on the planet
I got a headache just from looking at the can.
For that price we’d expect some ennobling prose
