A Main Course?

Just heard that some Brewery has renamed a Bottle of Beer as "A Main Course"..

i.e "two "Main Courses Please"!

I wonder why they've done that?

I think it's an ingenious way around the tier system.

Whilst anarchist are fighting on the streets, winging about human rights, the rest of us are getting on with our lives.

They can call it whatever they want but if no food is served with it and they get caught out, heavy fine for them.

Re: A Main Course?

Many, many decades ago NSW pubs were either early or late openers. They opened from 6am to 6pm or 10am to 10pm however the late openers could extend their hours to midnight by serving food so the pub would offer plates of sandwiches for a pittance.

I don't think anybody ate these sandwiches as they were stale and dry with curled edges (reminded me of British Rail food). When the pub did close I suspect they were collected for resale the next day.

Perhaps your pubs could do the same thing 50 years later!
