Drinks Coasters and Beer Mats (part 2)

 Here's an assortment of coasters and beer mats collected over the years. 

some date back to the 1970s or possibly early 1980s, such as the Watney's Pale Ale beer mat, the Tuborg beer mats, and the Embassy cigarettes coaster. 

I got the Mayr Bier beer mats whilst on a high school skiing trip to Austria in the late 1980s. It was really bizarre - one evening the whole class traipsed through the snow in to town, accompanied by the teachers, and we went to a nightclub. Turns out it was a special evening for youngsters, so no sneaky alcoholic beverages for us, but I collected a handful of beer coasters as a memento.

The majority of these mats/coasters I picked up in the 90s, possibly a few in the 2000s. The Humpty Dumpy Brewery beer mat was a bit later - probably 2010s. 

A few of them feature on another post here. 

If I had to chose a favourite it would be between the Watney's Pale Ale, Coniston Brewing Co. (Bluebird Bitter) and the the Odeon cinema beer mat, but from a sentimental angle any of the mats my Dad got me in the 1970s, and the Mayr Bier mats do bring back a fond memory of how they were acquired. i.e. I can't choose just one!
