You're into sour beer?

 

James and the team want to make a sour beer facility, but they need YOUR help to make it happen.

I do admire what they have done & how they done it & I know a few folk that have done well with their shares.

 

Massive credit to them but doesn't change the fact for me that their beer is pish.

They've done extremely well and trying out in America is a ballsy decision, the main plan will work I imagine but can't see a place like Florida buying in to one of their bars and making it worth while.

You need to try some more there is heaps of different tastes/strengths if you do not like one try some more

There are a million microbreweries in Yankieland that dwarf Brewdog. But in America it's more about how well you can fool the massive pool of morons who are your potential customer base.

 

Having plenty experience fooling the even more cynical Brits into thinking their dregs are drinkable, they should have very little problem tricking the Yanks.

 

I think they'll do quite well. Awful product + Slick marketing = $$$

Budweiser being a good example.

Columbus, Ohio

Yes but with plans to open a bar in Florida along with 4 others spread across the states.

It's poncey pish for poncey pooves.

 

Not to my taste. There may well be a nice one amongst them but I don't want to suffer them all to find it.

For simple people piple that like simple beer

I can drink it no probs but it really isn't much better than any other beers imo. It's obviously extremely well marketed.

I get what you mean here but I'm just not that in to it, I like dead pony and I like Punk IPA, tried a couple of others but they are no great shakes, better beers out there plus Brewdog seems to attract young lads that think they are cool and edgy because they spent £120 in there on a night out (not much of a night out if you stay in there) I've not been in the bar and don't plan to, them opening up in the grave of Snafu is just shit aswell.

We have always shared the same opinion on this.

 

I firmly believe people only jump on this bandwagon because they think it makes them sophisticated and different from the usual lager lout. The bar is generally full of two types, pretentious stuck up twats or smelly punks with leather jackets and long hair.

 

They have however done extremely well and kudos to them for doing so.

That's the perfect example of style over substance. Completely undrinkable pisswater with a marketing budget larger than the gross product of most small nations, scarfed down by stupid kids, brainless hipsters, and lassies who think 2% is the upper limit of alcohol content.

 

Anyone offers me a can of that and I decline, asking, "Can I have a beer instead." I think that's a very clever thing to say... so....

Krlt min

 

See my post above.

 

Nothing wring with bud.

 

Its just not 'trendy d' IPA or multi ationalal hriniken/carlsberg/etc

 

But But does what it says on the tin.

Cool

Crisp

Session

 

 

But yes its no erstvleteren

There is always going to be some people who just get into something because they think it makes them cool. Doesn't matter if it's a band, fashion, football team etc etc.

 

So what category do I fall into?

 

I don't rate Brewdog that high in terms of all the craft breweries the world over but what they make is better than 99% of the shit normally consumed in the UK.

Other than absolutely everything, i'd agree.

This. Punk is wonderful (as is Hardcore). But other than that, most of their stuff is nothing special.

Ha ha Typical condescending pish from a typical Brewdog drinker type +1

[The Boofon]

You need to try some more there is heaps of different tastes/strengths if you do not like one try some more

Or try something else.

 

Tried a few of them. Disliked every one I tasted. Wouldn't bother my arse persevering with it.

I love Chinese writing so you're wrong here as well.

Nail. On. head.

 

Went in once asked for a beer but had no idea what kind. Guy lined up about 15 tasters to try. All of them mingin. I asked if there was a lager and he handed me a bottle. It was also mingin so I left. Place was full of smelly beauts too.

I know you personally and know you to be fine guy but chat like above doesn't exactly help your cause here.

[Foster14]

I'll drink any beer, anywhere.

[zander]

Think Brewdog will do well in the States. Craft beers seem to be popular with them.

[Bluto10]

 

I've no issue with brewdog their beer is generally decent. That said I do deliberately avoid their wackywacky branding and marketing.

The first comment was just a wind up to be fair.

 

I don't really care if folk like Brewdog or not it's only a beer. Half my mates wouldn't touch it.

 

What does bother me is folk who instantly label something shite and everyone who likes it wanks because they don't like it. It's rather narrow minded.

 

Although on the other hand some beer geeks deserve all the abuse they get.

 

Boy once talked about adding black pepper to a beer to enhance the flavour. For fucks sake.

[tup]

I just drink Tennents lager, I can't be arsed trying anything else.

Aye, all the pish about rebelling against the Tennents overlords and that nonsense is all a bit tedious.

Certainly not in my case.

 

A local compnay, alcohol and of course the opportunity to get involved in something different. Its normally something that would be right up my street (as I'm sure you could imagine)

 

I went in with high expectations but was highly disappointed by many aspects of the Brewdog experience which I've previously touched on.

 

Certainly not my scene at all but I do wish them every success.
