Brewdog Fake Lager

[Bazza]

Anyone tried this yet?



You either love or hate Brewdog. I personally like their beers and find their promos amusing (gay politics aside; not wanting to start something here again).

Happened upon a bottle of this in an offie in Newcastle Co. Down of all places yesterday. Decent selection of craft beers there. Picked up a Galway Hooker, Kernel and Innishmacsaint there too. I asked the lady was the craft beer trade good down those parts to which she replied it was, and followed up with 'once you have a good craft beer you can't go back'. But, as I was nodding vigorously,  she followed up by stating 'I love sitting back of an evening with a nice Peroni'. 

Anyway, back to the fake lager. Good ad but very ordinary beer. Maybe I didn't have it in the fridge long enough but it wasn't a huge leap from the aforementioned Peroni.

Peroni Gran Reserva is a tasty drop

Jesus the lads at Brewdog have a high opinion of themselves - I was told they're far more interested in patting themselves on the back than trying to promote craft beer as a whole, and I think they're taking the commercial beer bashing a bit far here

Amen,

The guys definitely have a high opinion of themselves whether their promoting craft beer or not. Did the series "Brew Dogs" get over here yet? When I was living in the states last year they started their own television show. Although entertaining, I'm not sure how much was promoting craft beer or promoting themselves.

I kind of like them and all bullshit aside they do make a couple of really decent beers (Punk & 5am being 2 of my favourites).

What made me laugh about the above ad is the whole thing about blowing up all this shite lager and then coming back with something that's not a huge improvement imho. Maybe I got a bad bottle.

I love the bottled 5 AM saint but have had the draft a few times and it seem to lack the lovely hop aroma the beer is known for.
