Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Passed this place the other night in Newcastle but didnt go in. Had a look on there website and seems quite an interesting story etc etc. Anyone been? Is the beer good? How longs it been open? http://www.brewdog.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4201 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Theres one in manchester Ive mentioned a few times on here. Beer is good, Punk IPA is a nice regular-ish strength one though they're all about the daft ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30336 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Aye. It's been open about 6 months. The beer's good but pricey. I'm not so sure about the place itself. The crowd was a bit of a mixed bag, a bit like places like The Centurion, although that's better than the trendy twats I'd have expected it to attract. I think the decor's a bit shite. I quite like the stripped back industrial look but it's spoilt by fake girders etc. that make it look a bit cheap and nasty imo. Whatever though it's better than most bars in the Toon and definitely better than most of the ones down the Quayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"BrewDog currently has eight craft beer bars located in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Nottingham and London, with another in Birmingham opening soon." Seen their beer in Sainsbury's, IPA and the blonde one...is it worth a go in bottles?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I remember Diageo acted like twats when Brewdog were set to receive a brewer's award; threatened to withdraw funding of the event if one of their brands didn't win iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it was after that. It's below the Surteess Hotel. And aye, the beer's nice in the bottle. Basically the same as a lot of those US micro breweries like Sierra Nevada and Goose Island if you've had any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them. They look a bit "too cool for school" but the beer side of it appeals to me greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any of them here, but the first time I saw "craft breweries" was in the states in the mid 90s. I'll be giving it a go I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you get a canny steer off here tbh. I dont get up there a great deal, but we are going to try and get up for drinks and scran a bit more often. Cant be arsed to trail too far from Central station though. Nearly killed our lass walking back up from the Crown Posada (know what you mean about kids in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14574 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well its safe Went once on matchday and found it a bit odd. Funny you should say that, I've always found it a bit strange too. Does it still advertise itself as "world famous"? was it for the jukebox or something?.. They did do a cracking pint of McEwans 80 shiling in their once upon a time, it kept me nipping in from time to time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30336 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Well its safe Went once on matchday and found it a bit odd. It's shite now (new owners). It's only ever really been a place I went on match days anyway though. Still handy for the ground though, although not having a ST any more I've got no reason to go. It's basically like a Scream bar now iyam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8978 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 there is a cracking little micro brewery/bar in Manchester that Sam took me to the last time I was over there. All I remember is that is the ginger tasting ale. (No, not ginger beer or ginger ale you bunch of cunts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 CT you been to The Bridge Hotel before? What about the Town Wall? The bait in there is lush as well if you and your lass are looking for a bite to eat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
