Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band


What a fantastic idea! Cain's Brewery in Liverpool has cuddled up with the artist who drew The Beatle's Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band LP cover! He (Sir Peter Blake) will design a label for a special edition of premium lager.

This got me thinking. What LP's would sit well on a beer bottle or pump clip? Or what classic songs have beer or beer drinking in them? Born Slippy by Underworld (...lager, lager, lager... etc.), Special Brew by Bad Manners, Black Velvet by Alannah Miles, The Beer Song by Weird Al Yankovic, anything by Beck or The Specials (Scottish reference there!). Of course there is Wild Rover (...spent all my money on whisky and beer...), or A Pub With No Beer or White Bread, Black Beer by scritti Politti, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers by ZZ Top, You've Got To Drink The Froth To Get The Beer by Slim Dusty.

I'll stop now. I am sure you will have better suggestions.
