what's going on with your background Simon? are you rebuilding your Bar?
Major changes Stuart, watch this space.......
well you are a carpenter to trade so I'm sure it will look the business matey. @@realaleguide
Putting up a big Brewdog sign I reckon 😂
He's drunk it all 🤔
It's a good move switching the position of the bar mirror as now can't see tripod and reduces unwanted exposure to light too.
Hey Simon I`ve seen those comments recently & what I think is that some of your audience ( it`s not many really is it? ) cannot believe that you don`t like what they like & they seem to take it as some kind of personal insult. I note these same people are doing it on other beer channels too so you`re not alone. You`ve got a sizable loyal following which proves your success, I just think that whenever you try to appeal to a large audience the adage ` you can`t please all of the people all of the time` really does apply here. It`s difficult because you put your soul into the channel but at the end of the day you`ve got to let such negativity wash over you. Keep up the good work matey!
I had a pack of these last week and came to a similar conclusion of it tasting like a lighter Punk IPA. I found it drinkable but nothing to write home about. Easy to drink and just as easy to forget
Fair play Simon, everyone is completely entitled to their opinion, for instance I've had some beers that you weren't too fond of but I ended up enjoying and vice versa! Everyone has their own taste buds and can make up their own mind, another great review, cheers bud!!!
Fair play on mentioning the comments, shows that you do take into account what your audience thinks and are willing to answer it. Cant say fairer than that.
Bosh! He’s had a shave, a shower, he’s sorted the bar out and back on form. Brew dog need to make changes, I haven’t bought a Brewdog beer in over a year now. Last one was their cosmic raspberry, which I love.
This review balanced the books, with viewers. I’d love to see you visit their Brewery and investigate the matter!
The nose on brewdog beer, azaca hops barely anyone else uses them.. but when they do I think brewdog beer.
I had to watch this. Right to reply and that. Fair play Simon, you didnt spit the dummy and you put your point of view across quite well. A good review of a "run of the mill beer". I can accept that because this time you reviewed the beer fairly in my opinion. The water in Ellon is quite possibly very different from the water they used in the early days in Aberdeen and this is what your noticing. Im keeping my subscription because its thanks to you I've enjoyed my 5 ltre kegs of Warsteiner and Budweiser Budvar over the summer.
When Brewdog announced their losses of £24m in 1Q23 and the fact that the cost of producing Punk IPA had risen by 34% it was reasonably obvious that something was going to give. They boast that Lost Lager is the "fastest growing UK craft beer" but selling 10 cans for £10 in Lidl is going to do that when people are looking for 40 cans for their party/barbecue and see a well known name and probably don’t do side-by-side comparisons when selecting beer for their mates to get pissed on!
A few years ago they trashed Anheuser Busch over their purchasing of Goose Island and now they’re in bed with Budweiser to brew in China. It’s the economic model,of growth/growth/growth that eventually brings every niche disrupter into the global aspirations of the venture capitalists and corporate investors. They can continue planting trees and going carbon-neutral for beer production but the beer still needs to be GOOD!
Had a couple of these last week. Not bad, pretty decent. 7/10 seems a fair rating.
I like brewdog bars, but only ever order from the guest section. They don’t do anything exciting or interesting anymore. They keep releasing the same average ipas with different names and naff all else. They’re mass market dross now.
100% the same here. I love going to a Brewdog bar but I very rarely have any of their beers for the reasons you mentioned. It was more frequent until they discontinued Jet Black Heart. I keep being told it's now called Ace of Spades but it tastes completely different.
My go-to in a Brewdog bar unless I spot anything else on the guest beers is the fantastic Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen which they seem to have all the time now.
I have in the past said I feel you go Into a brewdog review already going to hate it. Fair play for answering the question. I'm not 100% sure I believe you. I would ask that you do a blind taste test on the brewdog Vs Aldi beers.
A good review and I will pick some up when I am next in the supermarket 👍
Definitely agree on the point about the standard Brewdog base recipe.
It’s all marketing for them nowadays. Style over substance. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the odd Brewdog and may give this ago on the club card though 😊
What’s wrong with the craft ales nowadays, they just don’t taste like they used too.
Brilliant Channel , thanks for your efforts- would love to see you review Star Wars Original Stormtrooper Space Craft Beer - 4 Pack
Hi, Simon. Could you review the new Via Roma lager launched in Sainsbury's in cans and bottle? It's brewed in the UK by AB InBev. It's a refreshing lager with blood orange extract.
fair play my friend on addressing about the comments
Hi pal, I recently had this beer on the airplane on holiday...it was 5% plus,, so why is it lower volume here in Tesco? To be honest I’ve never been off the bog since I bought some here!!!
I drink BD occasionally because the choice of beers in Lidl in ireland is poor and they’re “reliable” when you’re stuck
Waiting to see what you think of Shore Leave. Others gave it a poor score.
Seeing as winter approaches I am expecting some brewdog winter ales and stouts. I think the brewdog might overplay the light and citrus IPA
I think it is what it is...a slightly lighter version of Punk IPA, which ironically may appeal to more people looking to switch to West Coast IPA-style beers. I do like it, and for the price (with the Clubcard), it's a steal at the moment.
Love the reviews, love the honesty. I have been in similar situations where a beer I loved and recommended to everyone suddenly deteriorated and became bang average, I feel your disappointment as I have been there myself , Keep up the great work!!!
Looking forward to trying this
why
Part of me wonders if these were produced in response to the green king beers, flint eye and level head that seem to be moving in on brewdogs market...
You do have a little trepidation with Brewdog for the reasons you mentioned about how great they used to be but that's very different from pre judging a beer.
I remember recently you giving Double Hazy a Stone the crows 9 out of 10.
Once you are past the the first two cans then it doesn't really matter unless of course it happens to be cooking lager then for me its just impossible. It will still sell. Don't get me started on Brioche buns and hash browns.
Maybe they cultivated a house yeast strain that they use on all their beers which is giving the beer similar aromas and flavor profiles? 🤔
Have you not tried Shore Leave?
Fantastic fair review simon 👍, i dont think anyone wants you to like every brewdog beer.
You don't need to apologise or explain yourself. It's only right that you approach these reviews with trepidation given their current performance. And I happen to agree with you. I can't stand anything by Brewdog. Headache in a can for me. But having said that.... I never liked Brewdog back in their supposed hey day either. Each to their own.
To play devil's advocate though... I just watched your last two North beer reviews and you started off saying how super excited you were, and looked a lot more enthusiastic beforehand. Youve start off with Brewdog beers with almost a look of trepidation, a frown almost... each to their own though.
I also agree that a lot of new Brewdog stuff has been lacklustre... at least in the supermarkets.
Cant agree with this more to be honest. You do go into the reviews with a different mindset depending on brewery/beer style or at least that is the way it comes across. Saying that I am more of a food review viewer of yours in the main.
Hi Simon, could you recommend a beer that tastes similar to what Punk IPA used to taste like?

I'm so glad you have stayed true to your instincts and continue to give your honest opinion of what is put before you. Sadly, in this day and age, there are some that simply cannot accept an opinion that differs from their own and its quite possible that some of them are on the payroll. It happens.
I enjoy your reviews. Keep on stoning the crows🍻
Surprising because when you score beers at 6 out of 10 or more they tend to be quite good beers. Surely Brewdog watch your reviews so why don't they change their source of water? Also, why do they bring out so many new beers? I've lost count of how many Brewdog beers there are on the shelves. Most are expensive for what they are. Seems they need to reset their direction.
Session IPA that I'm guessing works out to around £8 a pint. Expensive session
Fair play for responding to the comments. I have criticised you for being biased against Brewdog and I think in this video you go a way to explaining why with your Ferrari analogy. I too remember when Brewdog seemed to produce banger after banger and now most of their beers seem firmly centre of the pack to me. I just wonder if your despondency about Brewdog is out of a disappointment with how their beers stack up now. Perhaps there is an ideal for you that they can never seem to live up to again.
Brewdog shifted the paradigm of brewing in the UK with the likes of Punk and lets be real they are never going to do that again and you and I are never going to recapture that first taste. That is ok though as there are now Verdant, Pollys et al doing this for me. I for one do not think Brewdog beers have declined a huge amount (although they have changed for sure and there are now some absurd novelty beers like Candy Kitten which are pretty grim, but they are profitable I guess, I just dodge them) I just think that perhaps my tastes have changed, others have caught up and their marketing shtick has become a bit tiring.
Perhaps I am right and this has lead you to criticise them a bit more or perhaps not. Either way, I still enjoy your reviews (and some Brewdog beers) and I'll pipe down haha!
Cheers for the entertainment.
I don’t think this is to much different to Neck oil if I’m completely honest and it don’t give me a headache like other brewdog beers it won’t win awards but it’s drinkable and I like it tbh but respect your opinion as always
I think the brewdog analogy works if you use the example of man utd fans dreaming and banging on about their
former glories
Yup. A solid 7.
That glass seems a bit too fancy for a mediocre 4.3 abv ipa
I'm a Brewdog punk investor, but I don't look at them with rose tinted spectacles. Their range is dire right now imo. Pretty well all my favourites are gone. The best ever collaborations are well gone. The evil twin nitro beer was really great, but the beer I wish to god I'd bought hundreds of was their practise what you preach. That was sensational.
Me too, fully agree with your assessment
On my 14th can of this. Been to the bog 16 times. Got 8 lleft. Its shit but im not wasting it
If you got it. Drink it 🎉
A much needed change to the shop window going on I see
Is the real ale craft HQ having a big makeover Simon
Yes absolutely
I feel like you give BrewDog too hard a time. I don’t think I tried the original Punk as I don’t think I could afford it at the time and I used to only be able to afford cheaper Aldi beers, but the first time I bought a can remember thinking how great a beer it was. I was up in Aberdeen earlier this year and thought I’d drive up to Ellon and stop off in the brewery bar. I was driving so could only have one pint and had to have punk, I’ve never known a beer that’s so drinkable as that one right there, I could have had 3 or 4 pints easily. I wish I tried the original but even now that beer is still a really good drinkable beer.
Hazy Jane the same, I dunno if I tried the original but as a beer to drink, now, it’s really nice, it’s so drinkable, I had a few cans of double hazy and I actually think I prefer the current standard hazy. Id happily throw a case of it in my van for a weekend away, not every beer needs to be a craft beer, hazy is so drinkable, and apart from Camden Hells and IPA it’s probably better than anything Ab Inbev spew out. Honestly you can’t drink craft beer all day, I’d happily drink hazy all day though. I had a case of lost the other day, and that’s a cracking lager. Here’s the thing, If you want to grab a case of beer, to have a few beers, there’s nothing better than punk, hazy and lost. Yes there’s better craft beers individually but apart from maybe Corona (yeah yeah I know) there is nothing I would even buy a case of.
If they sell out to Heineken though, that’s it, I am done too.
What’s happened to your gaff Simon?
if you think Brewdog has an unpleasant taste you should try Felinfoel Double Dragon. Stink bomb in a can.
Never liked most of Brewdog's output, even the early stuff.
They still peddle the craft brewery line when they're no different from any other mass market brewer.
However, they've got a following which take it personally if you ever criticise the stuff. It's really odd.
Had one earlier, was almost tasteless
I don't think its the water its probably the methods and specific ingredients
Try a Planet Pale and let me know if you think it's any different to Wingman?
It’s the same beer. It’s been rebranded
@@danielpaveley9263 Different malts, different hops. Not the same beer.
Wingman is almost identical to ghost ship. Smells and tastes the same
Who cares what anyone else thinks? You're entitled to your opinion. Lots of us have been adversely impacted by some of the absolute filth Brewdog has put out over the last few years. A level of unconscious bias, trepidation or worry when trying a new beer by them is perfectly understandable.
I must admit the design they've used on the packaging looks appealing. This is probably why they've managed to bring out so many mediocre beers and gotten away with it because they're good with the marketing. They are good at making their products stand out on the shelf. Other companies obviously do this but Brewdog are like the masters of it. Just a shame the quality has fallen but this is how it is now sadly most people will buy with their eyes. When it comes to a beer channel like yours you give everything a fair try I find but it's your opinion and we may agree or disagree that is just how it is. Only the other day you said you like a Lost lager so I don't believe you've made your mind up just because its brewdog.
The only brewdog for me personally is elvis juice the others just don't do it
Don’t even bother with them anymore. Maybe buy an anniversary stout, that’s it.
Being a 38 year old ''old codger'', I look back on the original Punk IPA, Hardcore IPA and Chaos Theory days with fond memories. I just can't be bothered with Brew Dog, NEIPA's or craft pale ales anymore. Give me a good west coast IPA, bitter or German lager any day of the week. Just my opinion, tastes change. The beers also change, as with Punk IPA....for the worse. It's awful.
People don't watch for you impartiality or palate... they watch because you're entertaining. It would be easy to convince people you were a serious reviewer by just doing the occasional blind tasting. The fact you don't says everything, but we're still here.
brewdog has really fell off over the years
Tastes like neck oil to me
Unfortunately if people keep buying all this sub parr Brewdog crap they will keep selling it, totally with the mindset of profits over quality and value
tried the punk ipa , was awful , made forsters taste nice . and thats saying something
How can you BREW a session IPA - an oxymoron.
This is a rebrand of Planet Pale Ale. It's the exact same beer.
No it isn't. Different hops, different malt bill and of course they taste different....
I think, personally, Brewdog have gone to shit since they went public as a company. Too many people after a few quid rather than making interesting beer. It's happening across many industries and it's ruining things. That's what you've got here. Unoffensive beer that you could drink that doesn't challenge you or ruin your day. It's just beer.
This sector of beer never does it for me. I’d rather drink stuff from the big companies and save a few bucks versus buying from these pseudo craft breweries releasing completely forgettable beers. I don’t see the point anymore.
Your conscious mind may think it's giving an honest opinion but your subconscious mind is fighting to undermine it with it's hidden prejudices and preconceptions. This is why beer judging is done blind. We know the outcome of every comparison video without needing to watch. Go back and take a look; generic never loses.
Dry ya eyed pal
@@lozza1234ful In English please.
@@Doupyourflies dry your eyes.
@@lozza1234fulalan loscombe you are one of blue van man crew. What are you doing trolling on this channel!? Do not ignore the question.
@@BlueVanMans_ArantingEgghead 🤣
Bang average as usual from Brewsdog. Lazy, average and forgettable.
The only thing brewdog is good for is producing crap beer for the masses who buy into the BS BrewDog marketing.
