dundee ton Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It was indeed. Drouthys in Dundee. They dis also have a number of very nice beers on which convinced me that it was entirely to do with the beer and not the pub/lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Went to Brew Dog pub in Msnchester yesterday. Excellent stuff.5am Saints was great they also had an Olde Worlde IPA which was terrific. Dead Pony Club was really good. As was their fake lager. Tried the brew dog flight which was a third of a pint each of 4 different brew dog beers. Will definitely go back there.

vikingTON Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Q: Does anyone know where it is possible to get Schiehallion lager in the Glasgow area? Preferably in a bar and ideally draught, but individual bottles to buy would be fine. Tried it last week in the Bridge of Orchy hotel and it was superb.

I know tesco stock it, but dont know about the glasgow branches. Failing that, try "valhallas goat" on great western road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly easy to find in supermarkets round Dundee way. Tesco,Asda Sainsbury and aldi all stock it. It's a standard in counting house in dundee too so counting house in George square is a shout.

MangoBroccoli Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 This might be a bit bizarre but I've been watchi Peep Show and I'm curious - does anyone know where to buy a yard of ale? (If they're still a thing) I have no idea where I would start to look, for some reason I keep thinking Yorkshire is the only place that you could get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anyone had Belhaven Twisted Thistle? Don't, awful. Never had Belhaven since they sponsored the dabs. I'm bitter like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled tangerine Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anyone had Belhaven Twisted Thistle? Don't, awful. I used to enjoy the belhaven beers early on in my drinking career. I can't stand the stuff now. Nothing to do with the take over by Greene King or anything. It's just in the last twenty years there is so much better, tastier and more interesting stuff about that it's been shown up as the average fayre it is. Caledonian probably fall into this catagory too. Flying Scotsman is utter shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Had a wee drive to alloa today, popped round by the williams bros brewery, one of the guys let us in and we bought a mixed case for 20 quid, and kindly showed us around the brewhouse. The wife mentioned it was her birthday yesterday, so the guy gave us 4 free bottles of one of the newbies, "paradigm shift". Fab end to a lovely day.

dundee ton Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Had a couple of bottles of this tonight. Pretty decent as far as flavoured beers go, not too sweet and pretty subtle flavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ach it's all a matter of taste. I think Belhaven's Twisted Thistle is ok whereas I'd rather drink a basin of soap suds than let Punk IPA near ma mooth again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelJag Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I do hold an element if disdain towards Brewdog, their draft is ridiculously overpriced. Punk IPA is a great pint but by comeparing that to Williams Joker the difference of price is silly. Williams produce far more diverse ales, with Hipsay being my favourite. Brewdog (Argylle street) is a lovely pub but for me I cant get past the façade of marketing that it holds when inn deep is next to the river with one of the best beer gardens in Glasgow selling primary Williams draft. Dont get me wrong, Punk IPA is outstanding i just don't like the impact that Brewdog has had on the local ales culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, myself, enjoy both and spent a great Sunday afternoon last month split between the two institutions. Being a wealthy man , the price didn't bother me at Brewdog, but you are correct about the differential between the two establishments. Room for both, I say.

dundee ton Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Brewdog I can see as being a love/hate thing because of the marketing etc. However, it's probably because of Brewdog and their marketing (underwater brews, strongest beer in the world etc) that a lot of people moved onto beer as opposed to lager. It was certainly the case with me and a group of my friends. Following on from this has allowed a lot more small breweries to get good product out into pubs and shops. I hate the 'craft beer' hipster trend. A friend of mine was in a bar in Glasgow and was asked if he wanted to try their house beer, when he asked what it was like the response was "its a bit crafty", whicj is either the greatest advertising term for beer ever or an indictment that some folk know f**k all. Turns out it was the later and it was a bog standard lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
