As the Pizza Express courtyard is directly behind, there's no apparent room for expansion either. So as well as keg beer, you'll be standing cheek by jowl with the riverside uber-trendies. Can't wait.

    Well, well. It all sounds back on again. According to the Leeds CAMRA's September online newsletter:

    'BrewDog brewery have been granted a licence to open a bar in Leeds near the Corn Exchange, it should be ready early 2013.'

    A little late to enable you to stagger back to Dock Street, Spinko, but I'm sure you'll manage it someday.

    I believe this is the same venue as last time..

    I've not been to Manchester Brewdog for a few weeks now. Would rather go to Port St and sample their wares in somewhere with a more varied selection, a more comfortable feel..and for less.

    I think they may be experiencing the same problem as Thornbridge Jaipur - they were innovative once, but now others are copying their innovation and improving on it.

    I wonder if Magic Rock fancy opening up any bars...

    Certainly agree with your first point and can only dream about the second.

    I still haven't tried this on handpump-I was in a London pub in July with a half drunk pint of one of Moor's unfiltered beers when I saw it on the bar.Unfortunately my train was imminent, and the pub was further from the station than it was thirty years ago.
    We are going to Derbyshire in December and I really don't want to be disappointed, though I have a feeling that Kipling is more to my taste.

    I'm a bit puzzled by some of the comments on this thread, there is a vast difference between the old "keg" as is still used for most lagers from the global corporate abominations and the newer Keykeg which I understand is a system imported from the American "Craft" brewers (I think the description is justified over there).

    Do Brewdog use the old "keg" system where there is a CO2 cylinder directly attached to a keg, or the more elaborate KeyKeg where gas pressure is applied to an enclosed globe of beer.

    My local brew pub the King William IV has 11 KeyKeg Fonts and I can assure you that the beer is not gassy, but it is cold. It costs 85p more than cask, but if you are getting a 10% beer served in a pint lined goblet for £3.20 then that most certainly isn't a rip off!

    Hi London Calling and welcome, you will soon realise that this forum has a number of sad old gits like myself who can hardly operate a mouse but by hook or by crook manage to post on these forums.

    If Brewdog beers are gassy then they must be using the keg with the CO2 cylinder applied directly to the beer, which makes it a deal breaker for me on top of the inflated prices.

    I am no expert on how to serve keg beers but on my trip to BrewDog Camden the pints I had were very heavily carbonated.I think this is what BrewDog are trying to achieve along with serving their beers at much lower temperatures than cask ale.I assumed that given the volume of the beers that they were selling over there ,that they were using top pressure CO2 on regular kegs .Backing up what london calling was saying.

    Great user name by the way,I have a few Tull albums in the attic somewhere.

    There is no if about it Brewdogs beers are far too gassy,i had a half of 5AM Saint in Brewdog In Nottingham and this was far too gassy if i had had any more of this drink i would'nt be here now i would have floated off into outer space.
    I have been in one Brewdog got ripped off for a overpriced gassy drink, i will never go in one again.
