BrewDog

Was in Sainsbury's today and was in the booze aisle and i saw this BrewDog brand, so i picked up a bottle to see what it is like and its pretty good.

I picked up the Punk IPA : post modern classic pale ale, and its quite tasty

They do a quite a few different beers, check out their website www.brewdog.com

Re: BrewDog

I tried a few of these (freebies woohoo!) Really tasty, think Trashy Blonde was my favourite!
It's punk and it's beer, what's not to like?! Scottish too.

Re: BrewDog

i don't think they had any of the paradox ones there but they had the Trashy Blonde ones, I'll definitely be trying the other ones in their range.

Re: BrewDog

I think the other one I had was The Physics. Label said something like - 'There aren't actually any physics in this beer, the trading standards are going to have a field day' (easily amused!)

Re: BrewDog

I still have a case of freebie Trashy Blonde in my Stirling flat. Must remember to pick it up next time I'm there.

Re: BrewDog

There's a wee pub near my mum'n'dad's that does an ace selection of ales and they have a few of this brewery's beers. There was one really good one, can't remember its name, though, and it's not on the ir website.
The barman knows the guys at the brewery very well and apparently they're being put under pressure to change their image or face hefty legal action (possibly being shut down) because you're not allowed to market alcohol with "aggressive branding".

Noooo, my Trashy Blonde!
To be fair if you were going to use your spare key, there are so many bottles of spirits still there that i'd be more worried about

It's not much of a challange if you can handle Chimey Blue

Paradox tastes amazing if you have a double Laphroaig on the side.
Of course, last time I drank that, I lost something like 10 hours but it was a dammed good night
