| | Mmm...tempting, but I think I'll stick to design/wording changes. I've just put any empty bottle of Trooper at the back of the cupboard, in anticipation. |

| | I'm off to a beer festival at the weekend - I'll have to check out the bottle section.
I can see (and fear) another collection coming on... |

| | My regular tipple is this beer. They did a short run of a bottle in a presentation canister (like a whisky thing) I will dig it out for a photo. |

| | There's even one associated with Professor Green on sale in Morrisons, I forget what it's called but it's a "craft beer" (ahem) in a 330ml bottle and it's actually quite good. EDIT: It's this...
More enjoyable than listening to Professor Green in any case. Arf!
As for linking... I guess in Memorabilia world there won't be identical versions of things (I don't think?) so maybe we could indeed use it more flexibly... over to Admin for comments I think...
SECOND EDIT - just realised the Link feature isn't here, so scratch that! |

| | Yeah, it's an OK ale. I first came across it at a gig last year, and came home with all the empties I drank stuffed in my bag. I kept them for a couple of weeks until I found they were on sale at Morrisons (at a third of the price). I bought my brother a Trooper beer pump sign for his kitchen tap as an xmas present. There are beer mats, bar towels, glasses, so here's a thought...should they all be linked ?!
Morrisons have also started stocking a Madness beer, and I know Rush have one as well...I guess it's all actually a bit passe now. |

| | Not a bad beer, this - I've had it on a few occasions. Nothing spectacular but not bad at all.
Status Quo also did one this year called "Piledriver" with Wychwood Brewery - again, decent but not earth-shattering. I'll try and pick one up at some point on my travels. It's widely available.
