Drinking Beer with Neil Young: A Funny Tweet That Made Us Smile.



Here's a funny Neil Young tweet that made us smile. :)

Can anyone spot the brand?

And bonus points for identifying who's arm is plugging in Neil's guitar.

    Don't know either, but I would've guessed it was one of those specially distilled "Sponsored By Nobody" beers.

    The "dude" fake drinking his beer is know as Barney, Neil's tech is Larry Cragg? and I'm positive Neil is not drinking the beer he was "weened" on - Good Ole "Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Labatts' Bluuuuuuue!"

    Hey folks, good hunches!

    Hard to tell what Neil's drinking but the video guy looks like Achor Steam.

    And given the outfit Neil's wearing it looks like older than 5+ years so it would be Larry, we suppose. Thanks for playing!

    It looks like Neil is drinking a "Newcastle Brown Ale," also known as a "Newky." Cute tweet.

    @purple words--Yes, supposedly. I'm not sure whether the picture is a few years old, but it depends on when it was taken, too.

    It's not a Newcastle unless it's a foreign label I haven't seen. Look how Neil's bottle has a blue patch on the bottom of the logo. I guess I was wondering if he was drinking a non-alcoholic beer.

    Hi Thrasher's Wheat!

    I would like to settle the beer brand debate ( http://neilyoungnews.thrasherswheat.org/2016/02/drinking-beer-with-neil-young-funny.html ), but I'm not the comment posting type.

    The photo is from The Norwegian Wood festival i Oslo, Norway in 2009.
    Neil is drinking Mack Pilsner. Mack is a brewery located in Tromsø, Norway.

    Here is review with the headline - "Mack beer, rolling tobacco and Neil Young".
