Spitfire Beer

[Barry Churcher]

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. 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"

Barry,

I wonder if that was the same night that Steve fell out the back of his truck .....

I saw some Lancaster Bomber beer yesterday at the LCBO.

Might go back and get one... or two.

Merry Christmas to all.

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.

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..."

And oh, and then there is this wine brand . . . of course for CMP aficionados FAT has a different ring to the ears!

I know Barry but after all, together with the Oxford guys (plus Emma), a lovely day.
