Ale, Beer, Stout appreciation

£35 a bottle? Pass.

I didn't buy the whole bottle silly. They serve it as shots in the Brewdog pubs.

Pressure Drop Alligator Tugboat is really good (despite the terrible bottle & name), hope it's a permanent addition to their range

When you say "had a TNP" it sounds like you drank a bottle. I've seen their Watt Dickie thing but not TNP in the bars. Is it on their spirits menu? :)

Is there a comprehensive list of London breweries?

TNP and Sink the Bismarck were both advertised on the wall behind the bar at £6/25ml in BD Edinburgh last weekend

It seems to come and go in my local ones. I guess that they are fairly rare as they are freeze distilled and the pubs get a limited number.

That's what the Leeds BD was doing as well.

The Brewdog marketing is working well then (assuming people are buying it).

Yeah, I saw that in a photo somewhere recently. Don't recall seeing it in London.

I've had TNP in BD Camden before, it's surprisingly nice. Watt Dickie was terrible though. It seemed that it was the one they were planning to back for a bit but I haven't heard much since so I'm guessing my opinion was shared by a few people

BDSB does have them. I noticed them yesterday in the fridge with spirit pourers attached. Didn't see any prices and since I'd already gone through all of their Collabfest beers and their Born To Die IPA I didn't think adding more booze to the top was wise.

Been drinking much in BDSB now I am west. Some mind blowing flavorful alcohol rich beers there and pinball machines (tilting in inevitable after a couple) . Thinking of joining their investment club...

Where West? I was in their yesterday with the missus working my way through all the Collabfest beers, trying to expunge the training failure from my mind. I think this year's were better in general, than last year's.

Living near wormwood scrubs/east acton. Bit of a beer desert around there (compared to Hackney) apart from SBBD and Red Lemon on All saints for portabello brew. Any other recommendations? Let's meet with our missuses sometime...

Acton, I don't really go there. Hmm, there's Dragonfly and Aeronaunt in Central Acton which can be interesting.

The Station House has some decent stuff and does nice pizzas..

They're the only places I've been, really. Murts mentioned the Rocket to me once but never been there.

Cheers, Will check out...
We went to the dragonfly, lovely, pub great guest ale and burgers and a fab soundtrack (if you like Bob Dylan ;)

One of the guys in there used to run one of the pub quizzes we went to in Ealing. #csb

Went to Traquair House Brewery this weekend. An amazing place.

I've got a bottle of this waiting for me at home:

At a gig at the Kingston Hippodrome. Beer options are Stella, Bud or Coors Light. Whiskey option is JD. Hmm going to stay sober. Officially a snob.

Love a bit of JD and coke, do I

I can't drink coke as I'm caffeine intolerant. JD on its own is rank.

"caffeine intolerant"? Racist.

yeah, sack the 24 off and go on a bender!

You have no idea how many times I've thought precisely that. I told the missus on the weekend I'm fucking sick of this shit and racing the 24 is just a waste of a couple of days we could be exploring the west coast.
