Default Any brewdog fans on here?

Just enjoying a bottle of brewdog hardcore IPA and wondering if anyone else has sampled any of their wares as I dont recall any threads on here mentioning them.
About to risk bottle number 2 with a few bits of extra strong cheddar(tis 9.2 % abv btw) mmmm quality ale
cheers richie

Great beers,
Someone in my local pub passed round a bottle of Sink the bismark (41%).
Tasted quite nice actually if you treated it more like a spirit.

fancy a bottle of that myself-had a bottle of tactical nuclear penguin for christmas-bloody excellent beer/spirit but its not for drinking by the pint
Hats off to them for having the ***** to break convention and produce quality ales even if its at a premium price

I didn't look at the price!

I just like trying different 'proper' beers. Both my brothers make their own from proper malt and hops etc. Puts hairs on your chest. Not a good look for a girl...........

post up a pic and let the boys judge that lol
used to brew my own from hops and malt but my work pattern stopped all that
Some of the lagers I've made were rated as stunning by cynical friends but I did take it seriously(18l kegs dedicated fridge proper gas bottle etc)
Got a mix for easy mead that turns out at about 12-18% that i've brewed a few times but it's a proper buckler and goes down like squash so not a good idea as I'm a HGV driver by trade-plus it costs less than a fiver a gallon-bloody great for the odd camping weekend though

Not totally convinced on it to be fair and I've tried most of them.

Can't top a Harvistoun Bitter & Twisted.
