Spitfire Beer
I just received a power point program from Wilf Alexander about Spitfire Beer. It explains that the Shepherd Neame Brewery used themed advertising for this beer. Their ads came with such slogans as:
- Downed all over Kent, just like the Luftwaffe - Bandits a 6 o'clock - Not for Schlossers, Wagners and Kuntz - Goering, Goering, gone - No Nazi aftertaste - first left and then the third reich - No Fokker comes close - How to make a sauerkraut-mention the war - Spitfire- the bottle of Britain Now to the point of this. When in Beltring, each evening we would visit the Spitfire Bar for a beer. Okay 2 beer. :cheers: Is this why it was called the Spitfire Bar? I just thought it was named that to keep a WW2 theme, not realizing there was a Spitfire beer. PS- It was reported on the BBC that Steve Stone and Dirk Leegwater had more than a couple of beer one evening and possibly missed a day of the action in Beltring. |
I have an empty Arrogant Bastard Ale which is next to a La Blonde Des Cantons.

Google finds a number of listings under "Spitfire beer ads"

Lancaster Bomber beer
I saw some Lancaster Bomber beer yesterday at the LCBO.
Might go back and get one... or two. Merry Christmas to all. Eric B |
Found a nice surprise in my office this morning. An unknown Santa left two bottles of beer on my desk all nicely wrapped. One of them is a Spitfire. :cheers:

I like this ad best.
Famous quote from a guided tour around the Fokker factory: "This is the first Fokker ever built. We call it the Mother Fokker..." |
