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

    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'!

    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).

    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.
    Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.

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

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