Good price but it's all about punk ipa for me

They've done a good job then by making it taste completely different!

Voted hot as it's a good price but it seems to get pretty average reviews on Untappd, most people saying it is fine but a pretty standard lager

This isn't the same lager. This is Lager was a pilsner and wasn't very good. This is conpletely different and tastes very similar to some of the best German beers - Paulaner especially.

can anyone indicate how long delivery takes with brewdog? i just made an order, need it for thursday!

​it's now expired. I've amended the thread

Showing as £43.50 for me?

Good to know thank you - Booths is often running out of stock!

Oos

M&S also sell the Old Engine Oil

Harviestoun make my very favourite affordable beer : engine oil.

Described as viscous, it's a real solid porter with lovely coffee and chocolatey notes, slightly bittersweet but a really complex brew. I can drink this all day. Tastes better from bottle than can IMO haven't had the pleasure of tasting it from the tap. £2 you can find this is Booths supermarkets I think some Waitrose stock it.



"It's like, how much more black could this be and the answer is none. None more black."

Well I just delivered my box of lager and have to say this isn't run of the mill beer like some of the people on here who didn't buy and haven't tasted it would like to think.This is a quality craft lager and nearly the equal of my favourite Schiehallion lager from the Harviestoun brewery.Very very nice,I only wish Id bought more than one case.

gutted - missed this :disappointed:

good deal - nice beer

Completely agree , id take this over carling/stella etc any day . However there are also better alternatives out there as well

You have just made me leave for work early and head out to B&M on the way

Good points, well made and I agree. The choice is incredible

Mine arrived yesterday and I had a couple last night. I wasn't expecting much due to all the bad reviews here, but it was actually pretty nice. Very easy to drink. Definitely better than most of the mass produced lagers you find in a supermarket.

out of stock :disappointed:

love a bit of dead pony!

Good beer this! had it just the other day from Brewdog islington

BTW.. Jack Hammer... try one if you see it...

I'm not a big IPA/citrus fan.. prefer my stout/porters.. but find this to be a reliable, moreish zanger .. :smile:

Everyone's taste is different. I loved this is lager and miss it dearly...

Recieved mine today can't wait to sample a few tonight. Passed the information on to a friend and he's also waiting for his!

​mine too!! sorted for Christmas!

Received delivery today:D great find, cheers

Depends on the beer. They do some create collab/seasonal stuff that is worth a taste!

Lovely Xmas beers those 2.

Punk IPA is definitely better but they do some even better ones than Punk!

Completely different as in Kingpin is completely different to a pilsner - in the same way that Paulaner is completely different to a pilsner because it's a Helles. That's why it says "Paulaner Helles" on the bottle.
As an EFP member I'd never celebrate Paulaner over Brewdog beers. However this is a lager, not an IPA or other beer. As such, it's fair to compare it to lagers, some of the best of which are still brewed in Bavaria. Behind HoffBrau, Paulaner is one of the best.

Thanks for that, Brewdog Leeds are doing 12 bottles of Santa Paws for £10 and 12 bottles of Hoppy Christmas for £15.

Hope they still have some tomorrow when I'm in town.

now out of stock

Maybe the main players are overrated but I think the strength of craft beers is the sheer variety of different brands and styles out there. I rarely drink the same beer these days as there is almost always something new to try.

There are some great real ales too but they seem to follow a much narrower range of styles and it's usually ones that don't personally fit my taste. It's great to see so much of both available these days though.

He probably just misspoke. It's a replacement for "This Is Lager" (which was pretty awful) rather than a rebranding. It's not a bad lager but I think the main reason it exists is so that there's an option in the bars for the sort of people who refuse to try (or just don't enjoy) any beer that isn't a lager.

Not sure why people are doubting this. They are pretty clear on their website that it's a brand new beer and they open source their recipes fairly frequently so it's going to be pretty obvious if it is the same beer when Kingpin gets added.

Like earlier comments have said though, this is cheaper in bars that still have stock. £20 or £16 if you can find someone with an EFP discount card. Some places still have Electric India too which is around the same price.

Oos

Brewdog, Tempest etc, all massively over-rated hipster pish, get yourself some Loweswater Gold or Foxy Blonde from Born in The Borders.

Back in stock!

Keep an eye out on twitter and instagram accounts for your local Brewdog, I got 12 bottles for £10.00 in Cardiff Brewdog this afternoon on both Santa Paws and Electric India. Making it £4.00 cheaper than this already excellent deal.

​Quite right. An epic control freak and unbelievably rude and condescending individual. Enough to put me off my drink (brewdog that is)

Brewdog are very average IMHO.

It was a BBC show where he had to hire an area manager for London I think it was but it was the employees that hired the new manager. He overruled them funnily enough.

what TV program was it - I need to see this epic toolness!

Paulaner is a Pilsener. 'Completely different'? Paulaner is the bog-standard stuff you get served at all the German Christmas markets. It's an average Pilsener, not one to be celebrated over anything Brewdog produce.

Thanks nice find but out of stock now

Freeeezing. Owned by an egotistical tool. I will never forget that TV episode and I will never drink his Beer. Mines a Heineken.

5am Saint is the daddy. Punk IPA is a good one though :smiley:

Anyone have any idea what this one is like? Some of them are hit and miss...

Dead Pony Club is a pale ale. :man:

I think people are being a bit unkind. Brewdog have opened up the market and made more specialist beers available to the wider public. Before Brewdog it was predominantly generic mass produced rubbish like Carling, Stella Artois, Becks, Fosters. I don't agree with their policies, but they generally make more interesting beers than this, and if you go beyond the supermarket Brewdog offer some fine examples, such as the Psycho Cocoa I previously mentioned - go look on Brewrate or somewhere to measure up which are better and suit the palette.. but in general it's more flavoursome and interesting than most of the slop out there.

​I once had Punk on draught and it blew me away. Got it later in bottle and didn't enjoy it. So I think Brewdog can be fantastic but don't get carried away by seeing their name on a bottle.

Good price, but wasn't a fan of this lager. Found it too sweet for my tastes. Shame it's not the Punk IPA.

I'm not a fan of the colour mauve.

me too think Brewdog is over hyped ****

I'll see your Punk IPA and raise you a Dead Pony Club.

TOO RIGHT :smiley:

Shame it's not Punk or I'd be all over this

Elvis Juice is great, especially in summer.

nice price shame about the taste

got some pistonhead yesterday in b & m 4.99 for a 4 pack :smiley:

Voted hot as it's a good price but it seems to get pretty average reviews on Untappd, most people saying it is fine but a pretty standard lager

Quid a bottle will do me. Handy to stash under the stairs as back up 3am lager. Cheers OP

Average lager hence why they are probably trying to shift it. Deadpony now there's a lager

these guys are awesome. we hosted two large parties with them and they sent us a mixed box of 24 as a thankyou gift. never had that before from any venue no matter how much we spent at the bar.

As an Equity Punk 20 I got 20% off too! £19.20 / 80p a bottle for BrewDog... HEAT!!!!!!

I've never tasted the two side by side, but I did taste this on it's own when doing a tasting session at Brewdog in Manchester. The guy doing the session said it was just a rebranded version of "This Is Lager". It was very average either way.

Got to agree with most of the comments above, it's an ok price but a pretty poor lager - Brewdog are much better at writing marketing copy than they are at brewing a decent lager. There's much better options for the price.

If only this was Punk IPA or Jet Black Heart.

Agree with the general comments here, this is a good price but it tastes pretty much like a 'standard' lager, I guess I've been spoilt by their other much better beers Punk/Dead Pony Club/Elvis Juice/Mr President.

Got this deal last week. Fairly bland, but a nice drink.

I don't get the love for brewdog tbh. well overpriced normally

I like the brand and needed some beer for xmas so will risk this for £1 a bottle, 5AM Saint is my favourite one of theirs

Hot from me

Ideal for those who missed out on the £12 for 12 bottles

Ordered a crate of 24 cheers op.

If you are willing to spend a bit more you can get hold of some real beer from beergium. I brew by the way.

Too much water in this stuff. Psycho cocoa for me.

Good price

Thanks op :smiley:

Pelvis juice

Good wee Xmas prezzie for the Mr in my life. I have a few too xxx

Seems expensive considering you can get twice the amount of lager in tesco that doesn't taste like fizzy ale.

it's a different lager to,"this is lager", different hops....... personally, not my favourite brewdog, but better than carling, bud, fosters or any other supermarket deal

They had the Electric India Saison at the same price. I bagged a 24 case for £19.20 a few days ago. (20% discount for EFP share holders) cracking deal

Many thanks, that's a case ordered. It'll go down well over Crimbo and I keep my own stash of select beer hidden away..

If you say so.

Good price but it's all about punk ipa for me

Can't argue for this price!

They've done a good job then by making it taste completely different!

Ordered. Good deal. Nice lager.

That's what the want you too believe.

Really don't her the love for this brand. Hot for the price though.

Its ok this was called This is Lager.

Good price. Very average drink
