about

Special Brew was originally brewed for Winston Churchill to commemorate his visit to Copenhagen in 1950. Churchill's favourite drink was cognac so the brewers created a stronger lager with cognac flavours among its tasing notes.

lyrics

I get my medication from a gold can
Made by a Danish man
I’ve been drinking it for most of my life span
It’s much better than
All the other stuff I’ve pissed down the pan

I hear the implication that it’s bad news
But that can’t be true
It’s been helping me with everything that I’ve been through
So here’s what you do
Join the Men With Ven

Cheers everybody, everybody got a cold one
Watch me now ‘cos I’m gonna pop a gold one
Special Brew
Special Brew

Some people get embarrassed when they’re buying it
Feel like a sleazy git
It doesn’t even bother me a tiny bit
I do as I see fit
I’m not gonna stop now the fuse is lit

I’ve enjoyed a bit of what you might call rock ‘n’ roll
It helps to feed the soul
People do a lot of things to feel whole
But the truth be told
Nothing is quite as good as gold

Cheers everybody, everybody got a cold one
Watch me now ‘cos I’m gonna pop a gold one
Special Brew
Special Brew

Cheers everybody, everybody got a cold one
Watch me now ‘cos I’m gonna pop a gold one
Special Brew

De forbandede Englændere!
Vi ved jo godt at de drikker hvad som helst for at blive fulde.
Hvorfor holder de sig ikke til deres eget lunkne øl!
Export øl?
For pokker da!!!
Vores Tuborg og Carlsberg skal da nydes af folk der ved hvordan og hvad man drikker.
Engelske fulderikker

Those damned English(men)!
We know (that) they will drink anything to get drunk.
Why don't they stick to their own tepid beer!
Export lager?
Our Tuborg and Carlsberg should be enjoyed by people who know how and what to drink.
English drunkards.

(Spitting sound)

Cheers everybody, everybody got a cold one
Watch me now ‘cos I’m gonna pop a gold one

Cheers everybody, everybody got a cold one
Watch me now ‘cos I’m gonna pop a gold one

Men With Ven London, UK

Three men and nearly as many chords, on the road from Barking to Deptford. Telling it the way it is, in pubs and markets, treading the highway and the sticky carpet.
