Brew Dog 'punk' beer

[Herr Tubthumper]

Just having one now. It really is bloody gorgeous. Cheers. Just to hijack this thread HT but have you had this years Dark Stars Seville. They have toned down the orange twang and it's pretty good. Had it in Craft before the match yesterday.

Not had the new Seville. I have had it in the past; a few years back, but it was way too orangey for me. Given they have calmed it down I will hopefully re-visit when I'm in town next

I think this particular wording is new, but they've always done this kind of anarchist punk rubbish on their bottles. It's a shame that their branding is so annoying as their low percentage beers are amazing! Scottish though, so what do you expect?!

It seems a bit ott though; even for them. But now I think about it the wording on the Tokyo stout is a bit ott as well.

Had this at The Station in Hove before a recent game ~ wonderful stuff though at £5.50 a pint it made my drinking partner wince when it came to his round!!

As Questions posted earlier, it's 4.00 a pint (draught) in The wandering Goose in Worthing, which is a smashing little bar on the seafront.

Also in Worthing, at The Three Fishes in Chapel Road, it's two bottles (330) for a fiver, which beats the fiver for a bottle at the Prince George in Brighton, and indeed sadly, my favourite pub in the world, The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham, where it's 4.50 a bottle (330).

Gonna be working in Littlehampton for a while so the Wandering Goose may be a good summer stop off point on the way back to Hove!
Cheers.

With respect to the price yes it is more costly than yer average pint but it is always going to be given it contains no adjuncts (cheaper ingredients like wheat and rice which are used is more commercial beers) and is dry hopped. This latter point greatly reduces brewery capacity and therefore increases costs. It's not a session beer (as Pogue Mahone knows from his pre-curry 5 pints ) ; Punk IPA is quality over quantity. Treat yourself; it's because you're worth it. I will always take 1 Punk IPA over 2 other cheaper beers.

PS that wording is a bit naff though.

I had some at the Winchester beer festival last week. Quite nice and it did seem the orange wasn't too OTT.

It's a decent drop and deserves to penetrate the mass market. You can taste the difference between it and other mass produced big name beers instantly. At 5.6% ABV, it's not meant for sessions and I do think the Indigo pubs are slightly taking the mickey selling it at £5.60 a pint.

A good entry point to the wonderful and frightning world of Craft Beer. The missus is swearing by it at the moment.

This sums it up. I took 12 bottles to a family BBQ last year, and everyone got involved and loved it. 2 years prior, I was treated as some kind of heaten at the same BBQ for not drinking Becks or similar.

A number of years ago me and my chums used to drink the usual industrial lager, Fosters, Stella, Kronenbourg etc. Then came Brewdog and the world of craft beer. I was talking to the same group a few months back and we cannot imagine ourselves ever drinking that shite again ever even if it was the last beer on eath. Why would you?

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

It's a fantastic IPA I adore the stuff.

Ain't cheap at £5.60 in some places although I've heard it's £5.20 in the new hare & hound.

£3.60 a pint in Brewdog Glasgow but to be fair it is not a session IPA. 5.2% a tad strong for a 'few pints of an evening guvnor'. They do have an American IPA session beer called 'Dead Pony Club' which is quite quaffable and only 3.8%

On egreat brewery here in Glasgow is Kelburn. They have 13 or so beers and 12 are award winners. A must try is 'Jaguar' the beer with bite. Worth sampling any of their beers of you get a chance , sumptious , hoppy and full of interest. Not expensive either, no £4 a pint or any of that old nonsense.

Oh makes me all thirsty like!

Because I like the taste of it. Plus it has the benefit of really winding up the ale snobs.

Bit of a trek from the station though, assuming you're not driving!

 

[Albumen]

Over-rated, over-priced beer. And the brand is misogynistic.

And because of that I never drink it.

BrewDog get free publicity by acting in a brash way that ruffles feathers.

They seem to have ruffled a few on here, so: job done.

I was listening on the radio to something about bar-staff, and there was a girl from a Brew-Dog pub who complained about customers throwing up in the urinals - rather than the toilet. Which made me wonder if that was a result of the stronger beers - I can't think the last time I was in a pub and someone had thrown up in an urinal.

Ah. So you went from mainstream lager to craft beers ? I wonder whether you look on craft as being something radically different - whereas peope who are used to drinking real ale maybe tend to look on a "craft" beer as just another real ale.

We were in the Market Porter at London Bridge and then went to Rakes (what was described as a Craft Beer pub) - they had similar beers on, but the Market Porter had more and was busier. And the Rakes was well, just a bit dull and serious.

I see your point and yes mainstream to craft. Personally I dont look at craft as something 'radically' different, just different. For a number of reasons I never took to real ale originally but craft has proved to be a gateway to other styles like real ale and Belgian beers.

PS both pubs you mention are fantastic places with great beers.....and perfectly placed if you fancy some nibbles over in the market.

Quite. They are the masters of free publicity.
