Next up is the most well known brewery, Brew Dog. They seem to be making a very good go of things, with a string of bars and off sales premises opening up. Let's see if it's all hipster hype or if they cut the mustard. Back in 5 with the results...

Brewdog , started in the Broch , all nutters up there so should be a cross between Tenents Super and Carly Special brew , you might not be fit to type after it

The last of the 4 before I get back onto the Snakebite and Chardonnay chasers - Brew Dog "Dead Pony Club" (£1.49 for 330ml). First taste was very disappointing. For the first few seconds I thought I'd had a sip of a glass of water, despite the huge hopiness which was leaping from the glass. And then it hits. And keeps going. Hops, hops, hops. Hoppier than my old grandfather who had one leg shorter than another. Another seriously good beer.
So, all round a very positive report on all 4 beers - only another 29 to go from Aldi's Scottish Beer Festival.
Great to find that there are some great beers out there, and hopefully more bars and off-licences start stocking and promoting these beers. Hugely more impressive than the "usual fare" available in pubs.

Achshully, the Dead Pony is their bid at the session market and is under 3% I think. Still manages to pack some flavour for the AVB.

Just about right, 4-5% is what I usually aim for at most , drunk but can find your way home

Aye, very true - although I did find myself bidding on ebay above the level I normally would and was delighted to be outbid on one item at the death...the other one still has 2 mins to go and I am highest bidder. I really hope someone has been on the 18.2% stuff!

That's "Tokyo" which is their best beer. You're not supposed to down pints of the stuff though
- although if you're from scottishshire all bets are off.
