VB Original Recipe (RIP?)

Whatever happened to that? It was a few years ago now maybe 2002-3? It was a special release for a while there. I remember having a few of these and they were very nice.

It wasn't a special release - it was a mainstream release. Tasty beer, shitloads of marketing... No one bought any of it.


Top 5 for me

Brewdog Punk IPA on cask/pump in London
Budvar
Saison Dupont
Orval
Alpha Pale Ale

That's not true. I did, a little. And my company did because it was my go to beer when only mainstream beers were available so they paid for it...
Just quite clearly nowhere near enough to justify keeping it.
Pity, between it and Castlemaine's XXX dark I'd found two beers I was always happy enough to drink when there wasn't much around.

 

[WarmBeer]

Tasty beer, shitloads of marketing... No one bought any of it.

I did too, obviously just not enough to singlehandedly justify ongoing production.

Was the first beer I listened to my palate before I even knew I had one.

My euro-lager swilling mates at the time would see me drinking it and say "What the hell are you drinking VB for? Here, have a Heiney". I'd just smile and nod sagely...

 

[Siborg]

In no particular order:

• Stone & Wood Pacific Ale
• Weinstephan Hefeweissbier Dunkel
• Schlenkeria Rauchbeer Marzen
• Brewdog Punk IPA
• Little Creatures IPA

It wasn't a special release - it was a mainstream release. Tasty beer, shitloads of marketing... No one bought any of it.

I was working in beer retail at the time and our shop was going through well over a layer a week, which meant it was about on par sales wise with Stella....
Pity no other stores were selling that much, the sales reps couldn't figure out why we sold so much in comparison to everyone else -
-Simple answer - we were a beer specialty retailer and it had very keen pricing.

 

[Pennywise]

I did buy a bottle of that VB original, didn't go much on it at all, in fact I'd put it on par with the other VB's, disgusting

That's a shame... really enjoyed it from memory. Seems as though CUB's own marketing was working against them.
