He remembers 1/6d a bottle for Younger's Double Century at the Con Club. He reckons it was the best bottled brew out - apparently not brewed anymore. Dutton's O.B.J.'s and Thwaite's Dark Ale (can't remember the name of it) all enjoyed, but the Younger's was the best.

mmm dotti remember drinking Double C's in the Con...perfectly poured into a half glass mind (not necked from the bottle as is the way these days ..
shudder !!)
Rose and Crown up Ossy used to sell it back in those days too. Two Double C's in a pint glass magic
Thwaites Dark Ale would be Old Dan I am guessing.
