Brewdog

Anything with IPA in the title, I just switch off immediately.

 

What does it stand for?

 

India Pale Ale.

 

IPAs were developed as a hoppy ale for export to India in the halcyon Empire days, so British Troops could wet their lips in-between dealing with belligerent fuzzy-wuzzies. I dont know why they have more hops than other drinks ,it may originally have been to survive long sea voyages (?).

 

McEwans Export is an example of an IPA, although it doesnt not bear IPA in its title, meaning you wont switch off immediately.

 

Some brewers stopped using the "India" prefix once the drinks also became mainstream popular in the UK.

 

Hmmm, I was going to forgo alcohol this evening, but now I am thinking of 6 cans of Export.

[Bluto10]

IPAs are one of my favourite summer beers. Up there with Weisse brews.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Weisse brews.

 

Ive never got into those, always regarded them with suspicion.

 

To be honest German Pilsner is so good I often forget to try other stuff.

[Bluto10]

I like them but my mates don't.

Mind you they're Nae as worldly as myself.

 

ToNight CS min nip down to the local beer shop and pick up any of the following for good examples of hefe Weisse beer.

Weinstephaner

Paulaner

Franziskaner

Schneider

Erdinger

Konig Ludwig.

 

All should be readily available in Tesco and the like.

I always look suspiciously upon anyone who does not just order a pint of Tennents when they go into a bar and be done with it.

 

If you start fannying about on what you want, it's likely that you are a bellend in other aspects of your life too.

 

Dinna trust anyone who disna like a pint of T lager is the moral of the story.

It's weegie pish water, tup

[Bluto10]

It's weegie pish water, tup

Tup supporting the old firm since 1974

It's weegie pish water, tup

 

So what, it's normal.

 

All that other pish is far from it.

I would have thought it would have burnt your throat...

[tup]

My hatred of weegies does not extend to liquids produced by them.

What was the original post harcy boy?

Gotta be funnier than your 50th rehash of that my mates gag.

Long article on brewdog.

 

In 2014, BrewDog became the first hospitality company with a national footprint to become a living wage employer. The company also rewards, with a pay rise, everyone who passes the beer professionals’ exams run by the US firm Cicerone. (The top grade, Master Cicerone, involves 12 hours of essays plus a blind tasting of 100 beers; nine people in the world have passed it, and two of them work for BrewDog.)

 

You done this exam @@Bluto10?

I am partial to the monk as well,

 

Tesco always has them at £1.65.

 

Lidls occasionally has them at £1.49, speaking of Lidls, they have a weiss beer called Blanche de Namur, only £1.29 a bottle.

[RAZOR]

Not a fan of Brewdog at all.

I do like the Dead Pony Club beer but the bars themselves are shite.

[dave_min]

I bought some brewdog at lunch.

[Redforever86]

I do like the Dead Pony Club beer but the bars themselves are shite.

It's a pub, it has decent beer, the people have nicer clothes than you and you can't grow a decent beard, they dont talk about running and have never been in charge of a bus. Who cares, doesn't mean they are shit.

Never actually tried to grow a beard but I dare say I could give it much better shot than yourself given you still suffer acne like a 12 year old girl.

[RAZOR]

6° North is actually nae bad. Much better beers.

[Bluto10]

Dinna mind Brewdog beers; they ain't my favorite but do reasonable takes on most styles.

 

Never been a fan of their marketing gimmicks tho.

To easy min.

[dave_min]

I'm now drinking one of the Brewdog beers I bought at lunch.

 

Big shout out to the Boys at Tesco Westhill.

[Bluto10]

Westhill.

 

LOl

LOL

[King Street Loon]

I like a Brewdog.

I'm a convert.

 

This isn't Brewdog, but get yourself along to the Midsummer Beer Happening in Stonehaven in June.

Lot of different beers on offer.

I had a cracking Friday out there last year.

[RAZOR]

To easy min.

 

[caledonia]

Trouble is some will have tasted just one beer/or gone by what someone else says to come to the conclusion its shite.

Brewdog has a lot of really good quality stuff as well.

Why do you think they are doing so well if they are only selling shite

[Zeus]

Punk IPA is tremendous
