How anybody could like that is beyond me, I can only assume they've been drinking the new version and that it's a lot better.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280318504737098116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-65309426920312852222010-11-19T20:23:50.073+00:002010-11-19T20:23:50.073+00:00I thought nanny state was a great beer, it was lik...I thought nanny state was a great beer, it was like licking trees!! it would be great to get this beer back and also 'how to disappear compleatly' - top notch stuff.Ghost Drinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753576955816756710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-63813064792452206922010-11-19T15:12:07.400+00:002010-11-19T15:12:07.400+00:00I have yet to try it myself.

I don't think it was the alcohol content that put people off.<br /><br />Can you plead with BrewDog to release some of this v2 to the English/Scottish market for feedback?tania_nexusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170308777551803844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-51221754513023447052010-11-19T11:36:47.516+00:002010-11-19T11:36:47.516+00:00Dave - if im honest id rather drink cobra zero tha...Dave - if im honest id rather drink cobra zero than the 0.5% nanny state but if it came down to it i would either not drink or have some juice.BeerReviewsAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549567405003804994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-38649021017783915892010-11-19T10:22:45.131+00:002010-11-19T10:22:45.131+00:00Let the record state that I could not be bothered ...Let the record state that I could not be bothered to try Nanny State because I had some Foster's in the fridge.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-34433555588857100282010-11-19T09:25:29.588+00:002010-11-19T09:25:29.588+00:00FFS.

I wish all the pubs to which I drive had Nanny State, though I would be inclined to carry around a jar of honey so I could put a teaspoon of it in every bottle.<br /><br />OTOH, I wasn't terribly impressed by Hardcore IPA. It's like Brian Blessed arguing with Rev Iain Paisley next to a jet engine.
