    I noticed that Beak got the go ahead for their market and tap room thingy. I also noticed the police objected to off-sales but a compromise was made r whereby they could off-sale until 20:30. What’s the issue with selling booze for consumption off the site? There’s numerous places in that area...

    They were a good brewery and around in the very early days. I lost track of them quite a long time ago, so have no idea what they got up to in the past 7 years or so.

    Thank you. I know this bar very very well. Sadly I’m busy when it’s on. Good news they’re getting noticed abroad. There was also the Fürst Wiacek collab

    I wonder if The Evening Star will continue to stock their beers?

    That's a shame as I really liked that place.

    Shame. Maybe it’s time for the Evening Star to move on from Dark Star? There’s plenty of decent breweries out there knocking out APAs.

    We have left you to the grape gods; it was YOU who jumped on this thread. You really are a moron at times.

    It says it’s their first “stand-alone pub” but they used to have this rather excellent place back in the day. https://london.eater.com/2017/12/6/16741150/east-london-original-barbecue-beer-bar-dukes-brew-cue-closed-beavertown

    People often ask what craft beer is, including posters in this thread. And there’s a number of responses which have merit. In today’s Guardian the term third-wave is explained and, whilst most commonly used to describe coffee, it can be applied to craft beer imho. 10 The third waves The term...

    Nice to see everyone’s favourite independent hand crafted and artisanal brewery giving the man-on-the-street what he wants. I find some craft brewers are getting gimmicky these days.

    I’m working on a Brewdog Dunk IPA. Pickles will be pleased.

    A cheeky little number from Omnipollo is their new Elvis Smoked Bacon Banana Ice Cream Bourbon Peanut Butter Freakshake IPA. An IPA brewed with bacon, banana, lactose, peanuts and vanilla. Contains nuts. Might be linguistically challenging a few pints in, but sounds nice nonetheless.

    I switched to this thread as this is an interesting discussion and it might derail the other thread. It seems you can market beers as alcohol free and above 0.05 Waitrose has (https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/erdinger-weissbrau-alkohol-frei-germany/821331-281019-281020) and Brewdog are...

    Fair enough. I like them, especially now the weather has turned. But, I dislike the entire milkshake IPA genre.

    Is it chocolate stouts you don’t like, or this particular version? As an aside it’s Brewdog CollabFest today. Anyone going to one?

    Nice one. These two lads are good. They don’t seem to venture beyond IPAs but what they do, they do very well. Previous brewers at Beavortown and Chicago’s Half Acre, They went from nothing to being sold in Mikkeller within 6 months. A friend was one of the first to sell their stuff over here...
