Yes but they also do absolutely stunning beers at low volumes. I had a pint in my local of Edge (2.7%) - a mild which had a body more akin to a porter, as well as another low volume lighter ale which was just amazing! Nanny State (0.5%), the beer which Firky so helpfully provided us with a photo of , was a response to criticism from alcohol watch groups that said they brewed irresponsible beer! The combination of hops used in that one is mind blowing!

Go to any CAMRA festival or beer festival, and you'll see how the beers from the south nearly always walk away with awards. There are good beers in the north but if you like crap like Worthingtons are Boddingtons, and even some of the shite that Jennings put out, then you've never had a good beer

Right, yeah, Boddingtons is clearly what people are talking about rather than eg Dent Brewery or Kelham Island or Hawkshead Brewery or York Brewery or Black Sheep or Bradfield or Barngates or Moorhouses or Castle Rock... I( mean seriously, have you ever actually been outside the M25?

Kelham Island FTW!

Beer... flavour... taste... healthy... natural... GAS MASK?! Oh that's right, it's a Nathan Barley Beer (please get the iteration this time!!! hah)

they bought Nanny State out as a response to the media blaming their experimental high alcohol beers for contributing to underage drinking and the like (what little scally is paying £18 a bottle??), so they brewed a 1.1% beer and called it called Nanny State hence the (again, tongue in cheek) gas mask..

Yep, Brewdog are truly interesting and adventurous brewers, Chaos Theory blew me away and their Punk IPA is just lush (and they sell it in Saino's)

Will definitely try it sometime. But the picture might just aswell be from them looking at their website

Cooked a batch of Alt over the weekend.

Brewdog update - 18.2% beer seems like a bit of a silly idea if you want to spend an evening in the pub, but it's a bloody cracking idea if you're backpacking across Snowdonia and you want something that isn't much weight to carry but will warm you up a treat when you're camped out on a hillside in the middle of nowhere in crap weather.

That was Tokyo* and yeah, it was very nice. I wouldn't compare it to a normal session ale or even a full flavoured porter cos they're not really in the same category of thing. Not better or worse, just different.

Had a few bottles of this over the weekend. Mmmm..

Enjoying this home made altbier all week long.

review to follow

Best beer I've ever tasted is Warsteiner. oh and Beck's!

Went to Brugge last week tried a few beers with some friends. Brugse Zot is great, kind of in between
pilsener and beer which worked for me.

Couldn't find any tokyo penguin gasmask beer though.

finally tried me some punk IPA. well impressed
