thistledo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 This + December time supermarket behaviour will potentially open a portal to hell. That said, literally borrowing a mates van and stockpiling if this tastes as good as the old? stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Great news! The boycott was well worth it. I fully intend on bulk buying should it be as good as the original recipe was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If it’s as good I’ll be throwing some serious cash at stocking up on this. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I've never seen glass bottles anywhere other than newsagents. They're going to get swamped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, wondering how these will be distributed. I imagine sales will go through the roof, and then they will bring back the good gear on a constant basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Been a while since I was in somewhere like Coscto or Makro, any idea if these places normally get the glass bottles of Bru? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are from Glasgow there is no Makro anymore, we closed it down & moved everyone to Paisley & Shawfield. All the c&c's in Scotland will be going mad trying to get as much of this stuff as possible, Stevie Ramages phone will have been ringing off the hook all day as this will be stupidly popular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Worth getting a membership then? If you want to stock up yes, I would imagine that us, United & Filshill will get the majority of stock for the Independent market. I will be forward buying as much as I can from whatever stock makes it way down here for reselling purposes, not falling for that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi Moomintroll, We've been clear from the beginning there's no plans to bring it back and that remains the case.

Moo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I don’t think this will be limited edition tbh. Surely the sales from this will want Barr to constantly keep selling and producing the product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Delighted for G_Man.Just a warning - years of artificial sweetener abuse has left me thinking real sugar drinks taste rank. Lock away any sharp utensils before you try it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
