I dropped them a message to see if they will do anything but as they were free I am not especially upset. I’ll try a couple later and report back 1) Brewdog were quick to apologise and tell me they’ve sent me another 4 pack 2) I don’t like them, they taste like soluble paracetamol.

il_serpente Posted June 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2022 It’s Fathers Day over here (Happy FD to US based dads!), so I’m lazing on the back patio with gin & tonics. Sunny and warm. Can’t beat it. Oh, and I don’t have to work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I hate brewdog beers. Can't stand them. Not my thing at all. My daughter has a fairly new boyfriend and he gave me a brewdog beer, can't remember the name but it had a hint of watermelon to it. I had it, thanked him for it and that was it. Now whenever he comes over he brings me 4 of them. What's worse is he brings them over and then helps himself to my Camden IPA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have to say they’ve started to taste off recently or something like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their ales are very meh! at best, but pretty much by accident I had some of their lost planet lager and it was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, thought I'd give Dave a chance to try them before commenting but I don't like it. The double hazy I don't mind at all but Hazy Jane is unpleasant tasting. Also had Brewdogs collaboration with Buxton brewery yesterday. That was a bit meh too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be Elvis Juice, I can't think of anything they've made with watermelon, certainly not widely available. As it happens, Elvis Juice is one of the few beers of theirs I find drinkable. Love a grapefruit IPA They do a decent stout as well, not brilliant, but good for the price. Their standard IPAs are just a one-dimensional pint of hops though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 My 4x replacement Hazy Jane’s arrived today. They also sent me a free 4 pack of these too which was nice. If I drink these first I might not be so fussy about the other dodgy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Went in the fridge Intending to pull out a bottle of lager without really looking. It was only when pouring it, I noticed I pulled out this by mistake, which i bought the other day. Not quite as refreshing as what I was intending but quite like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I've never had that one, but I've posted several of their beers over the years. I maintain they're one of the absolute top brewers of dark beers in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
