For years, like most people I suppose, I just assumed it was a girl, an old sweetheart. But apparently it is/was a particular type of home-made beer, or " home brew " we used to call it. This was particularly vile stuff that could only be drunk when you're already pissed. Depending on how you fermented the stuff it could be as strong as the strongest cider. " Sally MacLenanne " was the name of one of these beers. " To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLenanne ". I.E. To his favourite pub and his favourite beer.
