..It Was Really Nothing (45SPEC003)

On 29th April 2011, the UK will get an extra public holiday and an extra opportunity to spend all day outside the pub (weather permitting!) turning lobster red and drinking too much fizzy lager.  For this we need to thank William and Catherine who have presented us with an opportunity to forget about the impending economic cuts (..sorry 'savings') and at least temporarily take our minds of what we'd like to do to a banking CEO if we got our hands on one.

So, people of Britain - go out there, put drag-increasing flags all over your cars and then moan about the price of petrol; spend loads of money on commemorative mugs and plates and then moan that there's a recession; and finally bask in the late April sunshine on your extra bank holiday and drink to forget that it'll probably cost the economy around £2-3bn.  Grumpy?  Us?

To commemorate this special day, Revolutions Brewing will be releasing a special beer.  Entitled '..It Was Really Nothing', and part of our 45s series, it will be a 4.5% mid-brown bitter full of hop flavour.  Fans of 80s indie music will recognise the reference to The Smiths' early single and indeed the pump clip pays homage to those classic Smiths single covers with their retro images.

Bizarre fact - April 29th is Hitler & Eva Braun's wedding anniversary!

Andrew's favourite Smiths single:

"I've seen this happen in other people's lives and now it's happening in mine"


Mark's favourite Smiths single:

"I am the son and heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar"
