Thanks, Jamie. That’s some useful and interesting context/insight. I hadn’t spotted that they’d folded. That’s quite a shame. Must be tough times for independent breweries these days.

Mordue Workie Ticket by Jamie Lye https://threehundredbeers.com/mordue-workie-ticket#comment-12533 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:36:47 +0000 http://mordue-workie-ticket#comment-12533 Workie Ticket is a term we use up here towards people who are, well, working their ticket. They’re being a little naughty, winding people up, not behaving. It’s a mild telling off. Your mam or dad would say “you’re a right workie ticket yee”or “stop working your ticket”. It’s still in common usage, by older generations at least, but everyone up here knows it. Thanks for the review, such a shame Mordue folded in 2019. I lived near their brewery so often had cases of this, and Radgie Gadgie.

Guinness Foreign Extra by simon https://threehundredbeers.com/guinness-foreign-extra#comment-3048 Thu, 11 Jul 2024 09:07:54 +0000 http://guinness-foreign-extra#comment-3048 Much obliged for the clarifications, John. Glad to know someone is still reading, as I haven’t posted here for a while!

To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to tell one flavour of made-up fairytale from another and don’t really care, so I’m comfortable with being called out for inaccuracy here.

Guinness Foreign Extra by John Alcorn https://threehundredbeers.com/guinness-foreign-extra#comment-3029 Wed, 10 Jul 2024 18:21:30 +0000 http://guinness-foreign-extra#comment-3029 Guinness was not an Irish Catholic beer so your comment about Catholic missionaries is incorrect. Guinness refused to employ Catholic brewers until the 1960s and were strongly Protestant Unionist. The Foreign Extra was brewed for export to the British Empire, not Catholic missionaries! Definitely not! Arthur would not approve!
