The Kipper Family did a parody called When Peculier Ale Was New, but I haven't heard of the Watneys version. Was it recorded? By whom? That might help to find it.

Can any of you smart arses out there supply the words of the parody to Jones' ale, possibly called "When Watney's Pale Was New"

Chorus is....

They called for beer but the pub hadn't got'ny.
They called for partridge but the guns hadn't shot'ny.
So they had four bags of peanuts and a gut full of Watney's
When Watney's pale was new, me boys,
When Watney's pale was new.
