Interesting...I wonder what will happen to the existing real ale options in Draft House ?

This (http://www.sirencraftbrew.com/committing-to-cask-with-draft-house/) was announced in February , wonder if this will still be the case?

[oldboots]

It's Brewdog so don't hold your breath. It's the Brewdog AGM today I believe, so they might clarify things or on the other hand......

Brewdog have confirmed that the Draft House chain will continue to sell two cask beers.

I anticipate some 'interesting exchanges' between the BrewDog and 'spoons punters.

[london calling]

The Spoons punters can now go into Brewdog and pay an extra £2 for a pint of Punk ipa.

That did cross my mind, most Spoons also do two Elvis Juice for a fiver. If I want to drink Brewdog I get it from Tesco.
If I don't like the cask and cider in a Spoons I go for the Sixpoint ones which I've not seen anywhere else plus other options.

I've been told by one of my spies that Brewdog are opening an outlet in Perth, a former café. It may be true or he may have been totally drunk.

for a company seemingly so obsessed with their 'brand' they seem to make their fair share of blunders. or perhaps they see all publicity as good publicity...

[london calling]

As long as they keep brewing great beers and putting on great beers from guests I will continue to put up with their silly nonsense.

The beer in the Reading branch today was well up to standard.

First Cloudwater and now BrewDog.....these hipsters are now falling over themselves to get back into cask.

Must be good news :cheers:

Brewdog are about to open the world's first alcohol-free bar. An interesting alternative to Dry-January.

It's now on the site...

[sheffield hatter]

..."the world's first alcohol-free bar"...

...but "first" only if they exclude all the temperence pubs that have existed for absolutely yonks, such as this one (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/70576/).

[Aqualung]

I'm playing Devil's Advocate here. Couldn't it be argued that it shouldn't be added to the site just as a coffee bar wouldn't?
I think it should but I'm not sure why! I wonder if What Pub will add it as it would seem to be in my local branch.

It sells beer (of a sort).

Where as Wills example doesn't and maybe shouldn't be on the site, you can drink your own beer on a park bench, though I don't suppose it would provide glasses and corkscrew. :D

I think the Cross Keys (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/70576/) is there as a warning and a piece of history as much as anything. (It used to be a pub, retains its publike name and looks exactly like a pub to this day; it's even got a grumpy landlord!)

The new alcohol free bar (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/88734/) is arguably more appropriate to this site than all the Cafes Rouge and Turtle Bays, to name but two examples.

I tend to agree, although any argument about this was before my time. I've never heard of this before.

Again, I agree but if there was a purge I'd probably vote for both to go. I know for sure this will never happen as there would never be any agreement reached on what should go!!

I was having the same thoughts. You all know my stance on inclusion to the site. It sells beer and I can go in and buy one so for me it is OK. I would count it as a new pub visit so that is good enough for me!

[london calling]

A lot of the beers it is selling have 0.5 alcohol so it does sell beer and its just a name change from the Draft House so it should stay.£5.60 for a Punk ipa seems a bit much though.

Tinned shandy is usually 0.5%, can I add my local hospital cafe to PuG?

[rpadam]

Having added the new BrewDog AF Oldstreet (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/88734/) in haste, I have now hidden it; not because it isn't a pub, but - as 'London calling' rightly pointed out - it is a conversion of the former Draft House Old Street, so that now remains here under its new name BrewDog AF Oldstreet (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/84120/) instead for anybody wishing to pursue this discussion... or the one about 'statistical anomalies'.

@ruslandvalley was tweeting about the Cross Keys today. Certainly looks very atmospheric.We've driven past on occasion,but never been inside.

Popped into Brewdog last night.It was rammed.Busiest pub around Old St.May be because its dry January but wasn't tempted to imbibe.Prefer full fat milk and likewise full alcohol beers.

My Son in law whatsapped me last night about that offer but me , my son and son in law all thought 2/3 why bother.

It's not the most generous offer and no one knows when the email will arrive with the voucher.2021 ? (I hope not:pray: )

It looked like a cynical attempt to harvest some email addresses.I unticked the promo request box.

Agreed, why bother when so much Brewdog produce is available in Tesco? I'm sticking to ELB free home deliveries and Jaipur from the Tesco Express which rarely has an early morning queue. I'm also managing to cook my own curries with produce from the Tesco Express. It costs a bit more but the queues at the big Tesco are mental.
