  • You’re thirsty and there’s no water to drink. Ever.
  • You want to appear cool in front of a bunch of drunk students.
  • You’re in a really bad pub.
  • Theres nothing but Carling and alcopops on sale.
  • You’re trying to cheer up you’re mate that thinks Carling is cool.
  • The mate in question buys you a pint.
  • Because its free.
  • Because you want to test your self control by going to a pub, getting a Carling, and avoiding buying anything else.
  • Because you like beers beginning with C.
  • Because there are no good free things on this planet? So you might as well get what you can get.

    Cobra Beer bought by Molson Coors

    Cobra beers

    Cobra Beer is sold in 6,000 restaurants in the UK

    Cobra Beer has been bought by a joint venture between Molson Coors and Cobra founder Lord Karan Bilimora after entering a pre-packaged administration.

    Administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers said the company had run into financial difficulties in the economic downturn.

    A pre-pack is when a sale is agreed before the administrator is appointed and is carried out without the business being offered on the open market.

    From BBC News. No idea how this would really affect the Cobra beer itself, but it would be a shame if it started to taste more like water Carling.
