Two things I'd like a state...

1) 'IF' another competition is run I'd strongly advise everyone take the time to read through the suggestions and air any concerns or ask any questions. This is a major benefit to everyone involved.

2) I should have just left this as the 'Shilling round', my mistake and I hereby put it on record as the first time a rule has been changed midway though the competition. Lesson learnt.

N - Numbered (anything related to money ie Shilling beer etc)

It was also agreed symbol ie £ $ etc and slang.

Mike306 stated in his email:
The Beer is 'Brakspear Oxford Gold' http://www.brakspear.co.uk/our_beer/
and the slang term is 'Oxford' being the slang for 5 shillings

References;

"oxford = five shillings (5/-), also called a crown, from cockney rhyming slang oxford scholar = dollar, dollar being slang for a crown." http://www.learnenglish.de/slang/moneyslang.htm

"Oxford 5 shillings or a crown [cockney rhyming slang = Oxford Scholar]" http://www.ladykentmores.com/page15.htm

"Oxford - 5 shillings or a crown [derived from Oxford Scholar which rhymes with dollar which, pre-war, was just under 5 shillings" http://www.aldertons.com/money.htm

PapaLazaru said:
Well mine is bloody lovely and it ought to be, at £2.99 for a 33cl bottle. :eek:

Pretty sure it can count as I have asked a few people what would I mean if I said ***, and they all said 'an amount of money'.

I wish the country it is from made some more of this type of craft beer as they are generally known for only a couple of brands.

pingwing stated:
Corona Extra my good sir, Corona is Latin for crown, crown is a money in places like Denmark and Czech Republic and other places.

To post my explanation for Corona, Corona is Latin for Crown, Crown is money in Denmark and a few other countries, therefore money beer.

On the plus side I have a bottle of Odell Brewing Co. 90/ Shilling Ale that I got this afternoon to at least have a properly legit beer for the week.
