The storm brewing advert sticks in my mind mainly because my ex-girlfriend knew the one of the blokes in it!

I have to admit I like beer adverts...the better the advert, the more likely I am to drink their beer.
For instance, I hate the John Smiths adverts with the cardboard cutout and sub-conciously avoid drinking John Smiths whenever possible.
However, I like the Caffreys adverts and so I find myself buying Caffreys above all other cream-flows.

However, that is also down to the fact that Caffreys is the nicest of the cream-flow beers. I used to drink Calders Cream Ale, but that suffered a dip in form. So, I switched to Caffreys which is consistantly refreshing. It doesn't have that metallic taint that a lot of cream-flow beers suffer from and doesn't leave your mouth feeling like you've been licking a cat's back.
The cans aren't bad either. The widget throws a decent head, but not so deep you need to get a table spoon and dig your way to the beer.

Overall, a good ad which helped sway me towards the purchase of more Caffreys and less John Smiths

Thanks for the comments Manx. Yep, Caffreys is mighty fine! But if I had a choice, I would always go for a real ale! Nothing like Otter Ale or Teignworthy Brewery's Reel Ale!
