Elvis juice confessional

[Canterbury Blade]

Blades and Bladettes,

I don't know what the weather like is up there, but it's minus two down here in the garden of England, so it must be miles colder back home. Full respect to those of you hardy ones going down to BDTBL.

I must confess I shall be in the warmth of The Penny Theatre watching on Sky, where they have introduced some Brew Dog Elvis Juice at 6.5%. I call it Bounce Killing juice, on account of that was my ale of choice on Bouncing day.

However, I must confess that I feel guilty and soft, a right nesh and it's all Sky's fault.

I still will raise a glass or five to Elvis, United and those of you freezing your tats off! Respect.

UTB

Stock up while you can, it's gonna be tekken off market because Mr. Presley's estate weren't appeh over the name.

Similar scenario for me - 3 hours or so battling North through the Friday rush hour slush or some quality ale in front of the 55inch HD - I know I'm going to regret not being there.

I shall be watching at home with a couple of bottles of Brew Dog's 'Mr President'. That's a trump inducing 9.3% between you and me...

You raise a very important point - what can they actually do about it ?? (unless he's on the labelling)

Just spent an hour getting wife and kids out of car stuck in heavy snow about a quarter of a mile from home. Just time to get everyone fed and settled for kick off. COYRWW

Just got in from work. Bottle of Hennessey XO is looking very appealing to accompany watching at home.

I was never really a fan of Brew Dog and their fake punk aesthetic, but I recently lost something in one of their bars, and they held onto it and couldn't have been nicer about getting it back to me. Also, the Jet Black Heart is very tasty.

About as much as they could do when Declan McManus changed his name to Elvis, I would have thought. Can you have intellectual property rights over a first name? I can’t see Mr Presley’s estate winning such a case, tbh. And I’ve had a quick look at the Elvis Juice can, and I may be wrong, but I can’t see a reference to Mr Presley. The case would be very good publicity for Brewdog, though.

In the early eighties I worked in a pub in Donny (The Hallcross) that brewed its own beer. It was wayyyy ahead of its time. The brewer (Jim) previously worked for Theakston’s. So he knew how to brew all of Theakston’s beers. At The Hallcross he brewed a version of Old Peculier that was soo like the original you couldn’t really tell the difference. He called it Old Perpendicular. Theakston’s offered to sue him if he didn’t change it. Rather than that, he changed the brew slightly and the OG came out at 1066. Saxon’s Ruin was born...

[Canterbury Blade]

You ain't too far from me. Owt left? Could do with a sniff after tonight?? Thing is do I start up the Quattro or fire up the Yamaha twins ( I find the sea route swifter than the Mway and less rozzers too! )

Your gaff got a pier to land at?

 

[Canterbury Blade]

Never been the same since it left Hackney and went North... bit like our lass really tho that may have been Hackenthorpe... x

Can you have intellectual property rights over a first name?

Ask Miss Minogue and Miss Jenner (I have no idea why I know this).
