"White boy in town - big black, blue sound
Night club I paid in
I got a stamp on my skin"
So begins one of the classic singles of the post-punk era, Dr Feelgood's 'Milk & Alcohol'.
Had no idea until we started researching the piece that the song was co-written by Nick Lowe. It was released in January 1979 and peaked at No.9 in the UK charts.
This is not a 'spot the difference' competition - as usual we've had a bit of fun with the pump clip design making reference to the original Kahlua bottle design. If you want to know more about the origins of the sleeve design read the wiki article - it's rather interesting.

The beer is a milk (or sweet) stout. For the uninitiated, milk stouts use lactose in their production. Lactose is unfermentable and so adds body and sweetness to the final beer. We are indebted to Dean Pugh of Mr Foley's Cask Ale House in Leeds and Leigh Linley (The Good Stuff blog) for their help in formulating the recipe and participating in the brew day.
