[Drinking] Brew Dog ...grrr

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yeah, it's in the south of France. Surprised you haven't heard of it.

(And yes I know what you really meant. Nice play on words!)

Nice.

I was in Calais last week for the annual feline cross-channel swimming contest. The English cat was called One,Two,Three. The French one was called Un,Deux,Trois. The English cat won because the Un, Deux, Trois Cat sank.

I've said it before and I'll say it again without Brewdog and specifically Punk IPA the beer scene in this country would look totally different. In any burgeoning industry you need flag bearers. Brewdog were very much that.

I kind of agree, although Thornbridge could justifiably claim to be the ones that lit the blue touch paper as they were around for a couple of years before BrewDog muscled in.

Most of us really don’t give a shit what others think. But making tedious, trite and unoriginal comments might engender the odd response don’t you think?

No one was offended. And no one said you or the other poster has shit taste.

Why don’t you join the conversation and tell us which beers you do like, instead of which beers you don’t?

PS it’s palate.

Thanks for the PS

RE "tedious, trite and unoriginal comments" are you telling me someone saying you must like fosters because they don't like Brew Dog doesn't fit in this category?

My opinion is I don't like the taste of these fancy IPAs, too hoppy and floral for me. Maybe that would of been a better initial comment.

As for beer I do enjoy why would I be posting about that in a thread about brew dog?

I like Foster. His headband especially.

I’ve never tried Brewdog or any “craft” beer.

Vodka man myself.

What a horrible fate for the poor kitty. (I think that should be a 'Joke Du Jour' thread).

There’s no rules. I’ve seen threads turn from football to a 4 page heated debate about milk in coffee before. The coffee debate was far more interesting.

What’s your favourite Belgian beer/style?

I like milk.

And I like coffee.

But never ever ever put them together. That's just vile.

Agree.

Although I find milk is best when put into a shake and luzzed at fascists.

What about in a coffee milk stout?

Sounds like the perfect breakfast.

Didn’t one of the Brewdog boys cut his teeth with Thorn ridge whilst helping develop Jaipur. I prefer Punk to Jaipur btw although still a lovely drop.

Aye. Martin Dickie brewed at Thornbridge before founding BrewDog with James Watt.

Ah yes, the man who invented the Beer Engine.

Yes, but he was steaming at the time.

 

[Dick Head]

I make no apologies for letting ‘Pumps’ have 6 or 7 cans on a Friday night,

And you’d need to have a dog for that quip to work.

Fridat, Shirley.

Fridat, Shirley.

She’s not in on the joke tho Dick.

 

[SeagullinExile]

They have beer fridges in the showers at their hotel. That's a nice touch.

I would agree with some on here about Punk IPA being shit though, a tad over rated.

Elvis Juice however is wonderful stuff!

 

[mxs_harrow]

Never seen the point in Brewdog myself, if I'm having a can of beer I want a big can.
The day Tennants Super is sold in a girls size can I will stop buying it.

They sell Punk IPA in 660 ml bottles as well; £2.57 in Morrisons (hic!*)

I'm sure this article about BrewDog in the Guardian was chanced upon on this forum, but have re-posted the link. What's great about Brewdog ( like most other industry disrupters) is that you can be amused or offended by their antics; or better still, be amused by other people getting offended.....
