    Red Willow also have a bottle on their website called "Peerless" so they might also upset Peerless Brewery!

    Can anyone explain in Sun Reader Language what "Crowdsourced Ideas" are??
    They're welcome to try a pint of American Triple IPA on me (served in a rhomboid glass), that would satisfy my needs and lifestyle.

    I think "Crowdsourced Ideas" will not be coming from older drinkers, who, like you,have no idea what this bollocks means and will avoid wherever possible

    As an older drinker I will give them a tip, we do not give a sh!t about bottle shapes, if we want wine flavour, guess what, we will drink wine and never drink out of bottles, unlike the posed photo

    OK some may in dire emergency, like on a picnic

    My first thought was that lager, alongside smooth, is an old man's drink anyway, so nowt special would be needed in the way of marketing bullocks.

    Crowdsourced idea appears to mean "I'm too lazy/not clever enough to think up an idea, so I'll get some mugs to do it for me with the bonus that I don't have to pay them for their trouble" . It is also used for things like crowdsourced funding ie the banks think we're tossers and won't give us any money but the mugs will.

    It would be nice if the cases of beer had little wheels on them so I can push the beer home instead of carrying it now my bones are brittle.
