BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man
To be the sad man behind blue eyes
And no one knows what it's like to be hated
To be fated to telling only lies

What are you on about? Or are you just continuing your campaign of trying to disrupt this thread?
 
I'll just leave this here

Milk stout is problematic when you're trying to be vegan and possibly other beers with lactose (milk sugar) unless you can source lactose from non milky origins. It's probably possible but I'm not sure :D

Hoppy beers are also still a big thing in craft beer, that hasn't really died down or gone away imo obviously not to everyones taste.

Would be interested to know what type of beer SpookyFrank rates? More traditional real ales I am guessing?

Darkish ales mostly, but I don't object to drinking lager. But if it's lager it should be called 'lager' not 'American style IPA' or something else it's patently not. Why anyone wants to copy the brewing style of a land where they invented Coors Light is anyone's guess.

American IPAs are ovbiously not lagers but the yanks have been making IPAs for a very long time. Some of them are very good.
 
I don't think 'they' do inhabit only one area, but the nature of gentrification is that even 'they' get priced out eventually. Dalston has been the designated hipster area for at least a decade, so I'd have thought by now the proper hipsters are probably elsewhere, where the rents are cheaper (for now). But maybe that's not happened, which is why I asked a question.

Just saying like :)

Well if you've never had to break an existing attachment to meaty foods, you are probably not in a great position to tell others how they should do it.

HTH

Which I was not at all doing in the post from me that you quoted?? :confused:
 
What *is* a hipster exactly? What are we railing against?

ETA: am not suggesting railing shouldn't happen. But it's a term that get kicked around a lot.

Good, non-Brewdog-specific discussion about vegan-friendly beers in recent posts :) :)

At our beer festival, we make a point of offering a fair proportion of either unfined, or otherwise-fined, beers ... we found, when researching choices, that there's more breweries than you think that offer perfectly good and tasty vegan beers. Even pretty damned traditional breweries, surprisingly ... :cool:
 
As for veggie/vegan-friendly pubs, that don't bother even to pretend to be utterly vegan, you could do worse than The Fat Cat in Sheffield :D :cool: :)

Which has been amazing as fuck for beer and food**, and for years before Brewdog were even imagined :cool: :p

** Haven't been there for a good while though, so usual health and reliabilty caveats apply :hmm: .. apologies if I'm right out of date ...
