Bill Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Last week I bought our regular four pack of Mackeson stout for my wife who has a bit of an iron deficiency and tonight when I came to open the last can for her, I found it was completely empty. The ring pull was all intact but I could just make out what looked like a microscopic pin hole in the bottom where it must have leaked out prior to it being boxed as the cardboard carton showed no signs of staining. I had a banana once that was completely empty but never a can of beer, how odd is that. My glass is now neither half empty or half full.

asperity Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's probably caused by Covid 19 Bill. Well that's the most commonly used excuse these days 😉. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice enough brew but why so expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 It is a bit expensive I suppose but it’s what the doctor recommended. She’ll only drink half a can so I end up with the other half and over a while I’ve developed a liking for it. I’ve never been a big fan of the high alcohol content drinks so I’m perfectly ok with 2.8% and at half a whiskey glass of it per night, there’s never a hangover the next morning.

Observer II Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Why not just take iron tablets ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Knowing out luck the box would probably be empty. She already rattles with all the other tablets she takes, and her condition isn’t that bad. They said it’s just a bit on the low side and dietary changes would be sufficient for now. I remember my mum having a similar problem and the doctor back then recommended Mackeson. On the plus side, it’s a little social drink in the evening that won’t do us any harm.

Confused52 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 My mum had pernicious anaemia and the doctor recommended a bottle of Guinness each night. Oh and an injection every month that really did the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 We tried Guinness a few weeks back when we couldn’t get Mackeson but having developed a taste for it, the Guinness seemed tasteless and watery in comparison which is a bit odd because I used to like an occasional pint of it.
