I think it was listed as a sour ipa on the can
Just tasted like a very nice fruit beer to me
Yeah, was expecting a proper tart blueberry thing. It’s way more delicate and balanced, and not actually sour
This was top notch. Hadn’t tried the brewery before but will definitely be getting more in the future

I’ve either had one or two Verdant beers and it/they were excellent.
Don’t think I’ve had a bad one. A couple of shakes hand Closet Cartographer: Eureka being one of them ones, but the vast majority of them have been excellent

They’re a good bunch. Had a couple of their big juicy IPAs and always been impressed.
Hopefully picking one of these up today.
Good to know they’re consistent! Got their 13% stout Moon Dust next on my list. You tried it?
This from the one in town?
The price of brewdogs own stuff in their own bars is ridiculous, think I paid like a fiver for a bottle or can of Elvis juice.
The one opposite the kelvingrove is pretty handy say and yeah decent american guests.

If this is the one with coffee then I had it yesterday at mikkeller. It was well fucking bum.
You’re a well-travelled lot. Does anyone know what the good Barcelona beer wanker places are?
Garage and BierCaB are both amazing. The draught list at the latter is almost always incredible.

Aah, They’re the ones which jumped out at me too. Well, that and Barna Brew. Had a couple of Garage cans so muy interested in them. Cheers
Ah, the cans came from actual friends who were over from Vermont, not Brewdog: I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to afford whatever they’d have to charge in their bars should they ever bring in Heady themselves!
I really don’t like the Merchant City bar, but still got a soft spot for Kelvingrove as I managed it for about 3 years back when Brewdog were actually a fun and interesting brewery to work for.

Cheers. Our host (a Barcelonian) is just starting to get into wanker beers. He’s threatening to take us on a brewery tour as well. This’ll be great!

Oh nice!
The first 4 on that list are all within about 2-3 blocks of each other as well. The rest are all over the place, but I’m sure you’ll never be too far from a good BW place
Don’t let them take you to the Brewdog though, it’s really bad

Can confirm Brewdog is shit there. Absolutely loved Garage and Mikkeller though. Food in Biercab was awful but it has loads of taps. Seemed to be a shitload of strong stuff on last time I was there though, guess I just got unlucky (or lucky if 10%+ beer is your thing).
Guys I just counted up how many different beers I’ve had this year so far.
Guys it’s not good, the try-em-all obsession is getting outta haaaand.

A lot of chat about how brewdog are shit now. Have they actually changed the core beers in terms of the ingredients etc? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

And in unrelated news …
NM Skelatory is great (though fell into the trap of just-another-great-IPA), North Giant Steps is up there with my fav proper chocolatey stouts and Siren Squealer is awesome and very interesting for being a Bretted sour.
And then there was White Crow Omen by Amundsen. A Russian imperial white stout (not a “White Russian” imp stout as my friend sadly realised) - it was gash. Split the can and neither of us even got close to finishing our portion. Avoid at all costs.
