OK, doe sWatneys Red Barrel still exist or not? I need to find some for my husband ASAP. If I keep hearing about it I'll go crazy! It would be the best gift I could give him. Anyone know how/where I can get it? Can we have it shipped if it's still being made? |

Same question as many of the others on this thread. What happened to Watney's ?? The stuff was ubiquitous in Boulder, Co. back in the 80's. |

My family have a long history of working at the Watney breweries and hold a record for long service totalling 346 years. My fore fathers where all coopers and the trade was handed down father to son. We lived in the brewery owned street named Watney Road at Mortlake for 14 years which formed the back drop of my early years of growing up. Mortlake was dominated by the brewery and life revolved around it's activities, the brewery hooter was a big influence on life as it went off at 0700 hrs, 1300 hrs and 1700 hrs and could be heard for many miles around. My father who was the last in the line of coopers worked as an area manager, managing the sales of beer to the pubs after many years following the family trade as coopers. I never joined the brewery breaking the family tradition which must have been a bit upsetting for the older members of the family. Watneys certainly looked after their staff with many welfare benefits and sports opportunites, My father was capatian of the 1st eleven cricket club so all of my younger summer weekends where spent on a cricket ground in Surrey and South London. Watneys looked after us as a family well and the family trade of coopers was well paid if you could turn out the barrels fast enough. Many happy memories from this period. |

In the early sixties I was the featured actor in a series of commercials for "Watneys Red Barrel" under my stage name. Eddie Siguard.
Does anyone know how it might be possible to obtain copies? (If they still exist). They would have been made with film of course - not video tape have no idea who the production company was. The agency I worked through "Kiska" has not been around for many years.
Any help for a mature gentleman interested in his own past!!!
Thank you. Alan Gammans |

I remember it well and my shop was one of the few in DC that carried Watney's. I still have a Red Barrel neon in my basement. Back then it was distributed wholesale in DC by House of Wines. I've been out of the buisness for quite a while and have zero luck in finding a local importer or distributor. |

Does any one know when red barrel was first sold in the u.k. this will clear up a discussion from our local working mans club, where 2 chaps reckon they were drinking red barrel in the 50`s & another chap who reckons that it was not for sale in the U.K. until the 60`s ?? |

Watneys RED BARREL is no more, the bean counters of Watney Mann decided it would be a good idea to do away with Red Barrel, make a new concoction and call it Watneys Red, hoping the gullible people of the UK would not notice the difference. Unfortunately for Watney Mann, we did realise the difference and what was once a great drink was changed to a load of rubbish. PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE THE 2 |
