Any beer geeks on here?

Been getting into the craft beer scene over the past year or so. Can be a bit of a expensive hobby but managed to get my hands on some sublime beers.

BrewDog, Duke's and Drouthy's all have some decent stuff on draught and bottles.

Stay away from the strong stuff but like the odd Brew Dog, Black Isle, Dry Gate and Isle of Skye.

Black Isle has some nice beers. Had a stout of theirs in Drouthy's a couple of months back. Forget what it was called but it was tasty stuff!

Some cracking breweries down in London - Siren, Kernel, Five Points, Brew By Numbers - just not very easy to get your hands on them in Dundee. Fraser's veg shop on Perth Road has got a decent wee selection, other than that it's pub prices!

I don't mind a nice beer now and again.

Was in Brussels last year and had some great beers.

When I'm out though I drink Tennents. I can still manage a good 8-9 pints. Couldn't do that if I drank they craft beers.

Quantity rather than quality on a night oot for me.

Agree about Stella fae a tin though. Magic when fucking freezing.

I never drink it out on real life though. Too dangerous

I'm the exact opposite. I'd much rather spend the same amount of cash on better tasting, higher ABV beers. But just imbibe half the amount of liquid.

Less trips to the pisser for one...

If I'm out for a couple then yes I agree.

If i'm out on a sesh then no point drinking the fall doon juice. Turn into a rubber man

Good thinking for the pisser.

Many years ago, after my young adult lager days and thinking 80/- at that time was the bee's knees, I thought I'd sample exotic bottled beers from Asda from A to Z. Reckon 80% were better than 80 boab.

huntedbyafreak · 16/1/2015 10:40 pm

Get on the Duvel.

arabugsy · 16/1/2015 11:22 pm

Available from Asda?

huntedbyafreak · 16/1/2015 11:30 pm

I reckon so. 9%

Leffe Blonde is pretty good ana. Cannae go more than 2 of them.

You been to Brussels? Superb for the beer. Superb

lifesanocean · 16/1/2015 11:35 pm

Leffe is class.

Eh. When I was in some late night bar I sank about 4 pints of it and 4 Duvel. Buckled

Stella is their cooking lager OYF

You get 750ml bottles of Leffe in Tesco for £2.50. Cheap azzzz.

Phoenix have got it on draught as well. Just the half pints for me mind...
