Saw that recently. I like the idea of being able to produce small batches and the minikegs avoid bottling which is really tedious. Very convenient for trying out loads of different recipes.

Yeah, their recipes

This is like those coffee pod thingies only for beer.

And calling it craft is really taking the piss

Ah, maybe I didn't read it properly. You can't design your own recipes?

That's what I took from the video at least

Funnel Blower is totally dominated by chocolate and vanilla flavour. Subtle it ain't. I can't remember anything about the anchor steam possibly due to the vast quantity of wine that followed it.

Seems you can only 'customize' some parameters based on pre-set recipes, although there are quite a lot of recipes. It doesn't seem quite as interesting as that other one I saw a while back which was more like an automated home-brewing system that allowed almost complete freedom.

I have a bottle of this sitting waiting to be consumed, but I think I'll leave it for now as I'm not sure it's a good idea to start drinking 11% beer when I have to go to work in the morning

Just returned from a few days of drinking in Dublin. Fun but it's a bit like a Guinness/Irishness theme park. I mostly drank too much
Guinness just cos but Sweetman's in-house brewery served one of the only decent other ales I found.

The ruby and pale ales were particularly good but not available in the 93 other pubs I visited.

It's been a while, but if I remember right, that brewery makes a decent Best Bitter - blue coloured label, I think.

I had a beer from them called 'piston broke'... that was pretty decent, and I always enjoy a bad pun.
