  1. I like some of the Brewdog beers, 5AM Saint is outstanding. But I wish they could accept that their beer isn't the only beer you're allowed to like.

    To be fair to them, they big up many other breweries and beers from around the UK as well as the rest of the world at both their beer dinners and events at their pubs.

    I think a lot of their marketing is very tongue in cheek and takes the piss a bit and can make them seem a bit aloof.

    Don't get me wrong, I'll still have the odd pint of Tenents or Best now and again, but i'd rather choose beer from a smaller brewery like Deeside Brewery, Meantime, Thornbridge etc etc.

    All up to personal taste at the end of the day.

  2. I am a fan of the BrewDog beers it has to be said.

    Although, if i'm there, I tend to stick to the guest beers instead of theirs.

    Moorings is indeed good for some different tipples.

    The beer festival will be on a Pittodrie in a couple of months time too, always worth exploring (although I did spew the bed after last years event..... pretty sexy).

  3. Having conducted many comparison taste tests between old punk and new punk I reckon the new punk is far superior. There's far more underlying hints of fruit and a better blend of hops. The old one is quite basic in its flavours and whilst enjoyable, is quite a boring beer.

    Have you tried the new punk in a can yet? I'm amazed at how good a canned IPA tastes. I think I even prefer it to kegged Punk.

    I'm settling down for my first taste of Avery: Brown: Dredge Pilsner. A really enjoyable beer from the first few mouthfuls!

    I have indeed tried the new one in a can... it's all a bit floral and flowery for my tastes. The girlfriend likes it though.

    I really liked the original bitter one.

    Tried the ABD Pilsner too, it was ok, nothing special though.

    I did really enjoy the single IPA series they did recently though, in particular the Sorachi Ace.

    I'm going to their beer dinner tonight, so looking forward to that! :up:

  4. Anyone have one of these I could borrow for a night?

    Need to reformat a friends computer which is full of Trojan fun.

    He has his Product ID code but it seems many computers didn't have a copy of Vista sent out with them on disk (and he can't find his manufacturer disks that came with the machine).

    I did find out you can download a perfectly legit copy of the disk online (but it's on a torrent site which I can use at work).

    In summary.... useless.

  5. Why does my laptop power readout say "0% available (plugged in, not charging). Why isn't it charging?

    I'm using it plugged in and it's working fine, I pulled the plug out a second ago to see what would happen and it switched off. It's never done this before...

    If it's a MacBook, the battery will be tatties.

    Happened to me recently and had to get a new battery, the bastards.

  6. Going to the Dons game after getting back from a month in Oz almost killed me. Holy shit it was cold.

    Pretty good performance and probably should have scored a couple more goals.

    Looking forward to another day out to Hampden.... hope it's better than the last one........

  7. Which pubs in (relatively) central Aberdeen have Innis & Gunn?? And do any shops sell it in bulk? (i.e not single bottles)

    Cheers

    Korova and Slaines both sell Innis & Gunn.

    Not sure about buying in bulk, but i've seen them in Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons and Peckhams.

  8. I'm up for a game, but any chance of it NOT being at Goals? Those pitches are fucking shite...and four hours to retrieve a ball if there's no cunt in the adjacent pitch.

    Goals is horrendous!

    Has been getting worse. Pitches are slidy as hell and in terrible nick. And it's a total rip.

    We've just ditched our Tuesday game there and gotten a block booking at Strikers instead.

    Sports Village is the daddy though.... got a couple or regular kick abouts there.

    I'm still shite though.
