[leecarpenter]

can anyone remember what the uk tv advert was in around the 90's,which mentioned the blunderbuss,vipers tooth,and the old grumble belly beers?,i seem to remember 4 blokes stood at the bar,each mentioning the beer,and one saying "dexterously balanced"somethng like that,but im not sure what was being advertised or who was in it ,love to see it again

Someone else (maybe you, sorry) is also looking - can't find any of those beers bar the Blunderbuss which is by Wadsworths.


Are you in UK?

[leecarpenter]

hi ,yes in uk,im not too sure if the beer was a red herring,as in the ad was for something else?,i thought it may have been steven fry,or hugh laurie in it ,but i can find nothing on it

[Mamyalynne]

Ah I dee, will keep looking.

i seem to remember the script,where one guy asks what the others are having to drink,one says "blunderbuss for me",the other says,a pint of vipers tooth"and the last guy says,"il have a pint of the old grumble belly"

I think it was a Cider advert. Can't remember which brand for sure - possibly Strongbow?

apologies for the necro,
it was for Flowers Original, draught bitter.
The narrator said something like "funny how beers are often named after how they taste, so why on earth did they call it this?"
