  1. Ooo the wee rascals”iron brew.” If it tastes like the old recipe before they made it pish, they might be onto something.

  2. 42+% sugar and we’re good…..

    Nope, one serving should be 3 days worth of sugar content for a fully grown fat bastard.

  3. ‘Iron brew’ has been available in one form or another as a copy for years

  4. Does anyone remember the one that was (I think) called Highland Brew? My grandpa used to buy it when I was wee, going back 20-25 years ago

  5. Can we get this shipped to the Aldi in the states. Fucking choking for a Bru

  6. now make a proper iron brew knock off with all the sugar before jamie oliver ruined it

  7. Honestly, I think it’s a tad soapy tasting. Don’t really get it though Irn Bru Xtra for me anyhow.

  8. A German supermarket finally works out a way to rip off a local Scottish company you mean.

  9. irn bru was cloned(ish) in the 1960s by Barrie’s, a long deceased soft drinks maker from somewhere near Glasgow. They produced Iron Brew which tasted as bad as the Barr’s version.
    Maybe just maybe, Iron Brew was there first. 🧐

  10. Sorry is it fermented or brewed because you can’t spell it like that if it’s not brewd
