I think you mean "well over a grand demanded by the brewer of the mug who is willing to spunk so much cash".

Which isn't quite the same thing.

Worth and price deserves its own thread.

#failureoftheefficientmarketshypothesis.

Or have I slightly misunderstood the point of the twatter hashtag?

No, that's not what I meant.

Meh, what's nine billion between friends.

Could probably have a decent night down the West End for that and enough left over for bus fare and a bag of chips on the way home

If they're worried about "uninformed landlords" ruining their beer, they should be more selective about who they supply to, as per my favourite local brewer - this has the double benefit of both ensuring that his beer is always in good nick wherever it is available, and that his beer being available is the sign of a reputable drinking house.

You don't need to reinvent, or "re-imagine" cask ale, just treat it with a bit of respect.

Flavour vs Drinkability

Interesting theme of taste becoming more adventurous in other areas too.
I'm inspired enough to have a grapefruity Magic Rock High Wire ...

The crisps were a mistake. Spoils the beer.

Did you dunk them?

They were already deep fried, so my go-to Scottish joke is rendered redundant.

Definitely has the look of a BrewDog beer: super clear, so presumably centrifuged to within an inch of its life.

S'ok, but there's something about the hop flavour I can't really place which I don't really like. Rate beer reviews say sweat or burned rubber.

You'd expect the taste to be either there or not there for that one.
