What isn't clear is why they've picked Stockholm and Sao Paulo.

[PaulOfHorsham]

Opening paragraph concludes with the baffling and contradictory words "open its first bars outside the UK this year as it cashes in on a growing interest in locally brewed ales".

Unless these are going to be brew-pubs, the beers could hardly be less 'locally-brewed'!

So the good folk of Leeds can now enjoy the pleasure of random measures, the requirement of asking for top-ups every second trip to the bar and uncomfortable seating. Welcome to the future.

I dare say I'll try it once, but I'm twice the age of their target customers and I don't like cold, fizzy, (sometimes) cloudy beer at £6 a pint. Do they use ridiculous 1960s handled glasses as well like most hipster bars?

I might have a "window" on the way back from the SIBA X tomorrow as it's usefully located between the railway station and the bus station but then so is the Duck & Drake (& of course the Brewery Tap and Friends of Ham).

You forgot to mention the prices.!!!

I'm afraid their "offering" doesn't appeal-no real ale, no bottle conditioning, and an irritating chippiness. Give me Goacher's any day of the week.

We had never been in a Brewdog outlet, so the other week we went to the new one in Birmingham and were the only ones in as it was early. Had a chat with the friendly barman, were given a few samples including the brilliant Tokyo 18* which we would have had if it wasn't for the price (£4.75 a third)as it was a brilliant drink. Bought a couple of halves of their Punk IPA and 5am Saint at £4.25 a pint but doubt very much if we will be back.

Duck & Drake? Friends of Ham? I think there are quite a few who'd even consider The General Elliott before Brewdog! :D

:D:D:D at least it's a lot cheaper than Brewdog, £1.80 for a pint of OBB.

Latest Brewdog 'controversy'

http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/sorrynotsorry

This (http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Drinks-Brands-News/3.8-ABV-BrewDog-beer-falls-foul-of-the-Portman-Group) Morning Advertiser link describes the Portman argument while this (http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Drinks-Brands-News/BrewDog-doesn-t-give-a-sh-t-about-Portman-Group-ruling) covers Brewdog's response, albeit with a disparity between Deuchars and Directors.

I tend to side with Brewdog on this, but if a complaint has been made by someone about their promotional material then I assume they have to take some sort of action. Will it have any effect? I neither know or care!

This thread has been quiet lately, their marketing must be slipping. Anyhow here's some bar opening news

The Leeds site is a bit out of the throbbing heart, between the Reliance and the Templar, but down a side street next to a dual-carriageway.

So it's rip-off beer and rip-off food. What could the surprises possibly be?
