A night in Aberdeen and I discover a BrewDog pub just 4mins walk from my hotel, it would have been rude not to try Punk IPA on draft

As they say,

"It's a dirty job, but someones got to do it.."

Well worth a visit, the Punk IPA was good but in my opinion not as nice as the bottled version, the draft 5AM Saint was superbly fresh tasting, better than the bottles.

I also tried An Ace of Chinook and an Ace of Citra, needless to say both are single hop beers, the Chinook was very bitter, dry m and overpowering compared to a the Citra, my standard American IPA recipe will need to be modified to reduce the amount of Chinook, at present its in equal quantities as Citra, the guy on the bar also said BrewDog use a lot of Simcoe as a bittering hop, I've been using Magnum so that might change too!

Tops dude!
I hope your evening doesn't mess your morning!

I love punk IPA...and you found it on tap.

Good work dude.

I think the recipes are on the net somewhere.....

So which should I do for Christmas drinking? Looking for big brown and bursting with flavour?

Have a Chinook Ale on brew ATM, will be
bottling at the weekend.
Love Punk IPA, joined their club and got
all the recipes, you should see the hop
editions in it.

I've done some good clones to some of the brew dog stuff. The key is LOADS of hops! Especially dry hops

I sampled a bottle of Tractor Sheds Mowdy today, Hoppier than I prefer, but very pleasant.

As stated brewdog has released all their recipes online for free, done punk IPA, it was very good.

When Grainfather arrives Punk IPA
is my sons fav and 1st brew

I think I've lost my download from BrewDog with all the recipes on, I fancy doing a Punk IPA but first I want to make a 5am Saint, it was a much better pint on draught.

So many new beers to try, and so little time

Did the cost of the hops not alarm you? I looked at the Punk recipe and thought... Wow that works out expensive.

I wanted to give this a shot too and bailed for the same reason.

Still on the cards tho
