Grunhalle Lager
Back in the days when SKOL and Carling Black Label were two of the more popular lagers, long before the influx of continental lagers such as Stella Artois appeared, what was then the brewer and pub chain Greenall Whitley sold Grunhalle Lager in it’s establishments. It was supposed to be the british version of a continental lager…
Maybe it is a modern myth that the name Grunhalle was in fact “Greenall” translated into german. A quick search on the internet finds a company called Grunhalle Lager International Limited based in St. Helier, Jersey which ceased trading in 2003. There are also photo’s of the bottled beverages with that same company name on…
Whatever the origin of the name, there can’t be many signs like this left up.

In the days before Asda, the rotting Tri-G mini-mart assisted many Penketh/Sankey residents that needed emergency milk/toilet roll/lager·
I suspect if you ask inside they still have a few bottles

Funny you should mention that… where do you think the photo was taken?! The TRI-G sign has gone, possibly fallen down but the Grunhalle sign is still (sort of) up.

Ich mochte gerne Grunhalle, Grunhalle, Grunhalle, Ich mochte gerne Grunhalle, (can’t remember the rest) To the tune of Ach du Lieber Augustine (My Darling Augustine)
