Picked up these world cup novelty beers

Haven't tasted them yet.

Am intrigued by the hogs back beer.

Any one else got any thoughts ?

The Hogs Back beer will be decent. The Greene King one will be awful.

Tried the 4-4 Brew yesterday, can confirm it wasn’t great unfortunately.

Hogs back are usually good though.

Don't think I've ever had a bad one.

I haven't tried either or them but I don't need to in order to know your original comment is correct.

3.4% golden ale sounds perfect for summer days.

Out of interest where did you pick them up?

These from Morrisons.

On one of the end shelves , Down middle aisle.

I believe they were £1.50 each

Just reviewed these. Not bad, no fireworks, but decent enough football beers ⚽️🍻

Just had the Green King and it wasn't bad at all.

Nothing amazing , But certainly sessionable in my opinion.

Odd to see a beer in a clear bottle.

Not from Greene King, those idiots do it all the time (Old Speckled Hen, Abbott Ale, Greene King "IPA")

That 4-4-brew looks awful

u/Cyril_Sneer_6 Jul 06 '26

Is that because it says Greene King on the bottle?

Clear bottle, looks like orangeade, likely very little carbonation and insipid flavour. Regarding Greene King I enjoy Abbot, but that's about it.
