I remember Strongarm being available in a couple of pubs in York in the mid-late 1980s...
It's still brewed: https://cameronsbrewery.com/heritage-new/ Wikipedia says Camerons is the 9th-largest brewery in UK

Strongarm is still around, her and me stayed at the Pier Inn in Whitby a few years ago, 2017 I think, a Cameron's pub with Strongarm on handpull, as I remembered it from the late seventies when I lived up that way.
Mind you, the best drinking experience on that stay was Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter at £1.95 a pint, doubt that it's that price now.

Cameron’s bought John J. Hunt of York; they had a couple of dozen pubs in and around York when I was there, but our bitter was the core beer; Strongarm was a Teesside phenomenon.

Except for that couple of decades(?) when Camerons was owned by Banks's - which saw 'Strongarm Taphouses' turning up all over the West Midlands. My local in Kidderminster at the time was one. You could have anything you wanted, as long as what you wanted was Strongarm, or Banks's Mild. Cameron's is on the very very short list of breweries that Banks's bought then sold again - no one else has escaped the borg. Ruthless lot they are - when they bought Marstons they decided it was the better brand, so changed their own group name from Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries to Marstons...

Info from my golf partners yesterday
. Strongarm is on at the Buck in Sadberge because the bloke who now owns Cameron’s lives in the village.
Strongarm last sampled by mate at West Hartlepool where it was apparently as good as ever. Hopefully on when Stockton play there this season |

Yes, they set up a Joint Venture. But we are now several hundred miles off topic.

Should any of the aforementioned breweries be interested in The Pirates Crowdfunding appeal I am sure we would welcome them with open arms.
