The Voices told me to do it - InSanesBurys. [1]
Eventually all punks sell out. And now you can buy Brewdog's Punk IPA, Hardcore IPA and 5am Saint in Sainsburys!

I lent all my Vagues to a friend about 10 years ago for their thesis along with my Mondo 2000s. Haven't seen them since. Looks like Housmans still has stock of some of them! http://www.housmans.com/booklists/TomVague.php

+jim smith Gah! Never lend anybody anything! I've got a full set of Mondo 2000s but most of my Vagues ended up being cut up and pasted into collage party invites and such like.

I loved the "Apocalypse Now in Stoke Newington" cartoon.

And what I really want to know is what happened to all that Punk, Class War, Miner's strike, radical leftist, techno-shamanism, etc etc anger. Recessions are usually a good time for plenty of riots and artistic innovation. I blame E for taking all the fight out of today's yoof!

+Julian Bond I must be a soft touch. I lent my one copy of Reality Hackers to this man in 1989 - http://www.benwoolley.com/ - also never returned.

So anyway. I'm actually not a huge fan of very heavily hopped double and triple IPAs. So the Punk IPA at 5% is pretty good. Hardcore IPA at 9.5% is a sipping beer that needs treating with respect. Not for the faint hearted. And Saint 5am is not what I expected at all. At 5am, I want a clean refreshing medicinal lager to wash down the rum, vodka and get my hydration levels back up after a hard night's gurning. Not a floral, sweet thing at all.

I admire their spirit. But I'm a bit old school in wanting something elegant, refined and rounded, not a product that wants to reach out of the can and smack me in the gob with a broken bottle.
