before brewdog cemented itself into my life i was completely unaware of the "craft beer revolution" which was happening around the country. ales and stouts were something old men drank in pubs with sticky carpets and bad decor and something i avoided at all costs.
in stepped brewdog.
opening at the end of 2012 and at the bottom of my apartment building on john bright street i couldn't help but take a gander at what it had to offer, and boy does it have a lot. there is something for everyone here. even those that profess they do not like or drink beer can find something to enjoy, they alsoofferbeer cocktails or wine if you can't handle a pint, 2/3 or 1/3. yep, 2/3. who knew? though with beers ranging from 4% right up to 15% you can see why you might want a 1/3. you can also sample the beers before committing to a full measure. just ask the staff, they are friendly and knowledgable about the beers on offer, even the guest drafts which come from all over the world!
they even serve food too! you can grab their daily specials, i had a beef stew using their ipa hardcore beer during their live brewing event or try something from the main menu such as their delicious burgers. they also host music nights thursday and sundays as well as infrequent tasting sessions, so be sure to keep your eye out for them.
so what are you waiting for? join the beer revolution. you won't look at an ale quite the same again.
