Now who remembers the old bottle-conditioned Guinness? That kept me (relatively) happy in many a fizz bar in the old days.

Primarily because I had the pleasure of a month working in Cork many many moons ago, and despite what their advertising exec's would have you believe, it really is a different drink on the Emerald Isle, and an experience I have given up trying to replicate in London.
That would be due to the Liffey Water

My first mrs regularly got drunk on it in the 80s and 90s. Came in two versions...Dublin bottled or London Bottled..but I think all brewed in Dublin. Lets just say the road trip in a tanker did little to improve its taste. The Dublin bottle tasted better.
The bottles were often long lived if sales at the pub were small and the licencee poor at stock control. Some I have seen were as much as five years out of date. Doubt it could happen now with computerised systems.

Yep, in fact back in my Home Brew days this was the yeast I used for HB stout, just tip the yeasty dregs from the bottle in to start fermenting your own batch

I do admit to my memory being a bit faulty. Come to think about it I sort of remember labels mentioning West Country and even Jersey. But only available locally in those areas. Must have been the reason you saw the distinctive tankers around the place. Thanks Al for tripping the greycells.
