Archie McSquackle Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Innis and Gunn have been around a while. I thought they were owned by or their stuff used to be brewed at Tennents.A few years ago it seemed as though I&G were rivalling Brewdog as the burgeoning start-up but their progress seems to have stalled. Certainly compared to Brewdog but they don't seem to be any larger than the the standard smallish brewer apart from having a couple of their own pubs. Admittedly I'm maybe not the best judge as I don't get to many pubs at the best of times and am basing this on what I generally see around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know there was an I&G pub in Ashton Lane. What's it called? I like the Chip pub, but it's tiny and often packed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Had this Strawberry Lemonade Sour IPA by Neon Raptor last night. Really sour, but very refreshing. Enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 6 hours ago, Bold Rover said: If we ever return to normal, you must visit the I&G pub on Lothian Road, Edinburgh. The Beer Kitchen. They have a pub in Dundee. It was called the Beer Kitchen but is now simply called The Taproom. The food is decent enough but it's a pretty boring place to drink. There are much better pubs nearby. 5 hours ago, stanton said: Will the fad of people attaching the flip tops from the bottles to their boots be returning too That what I was thinking.

Back in the 80s Bros fans were known as Brosettes and they had a brief fashion fad that involved tying Grolsch bottle tops into their shoelaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud131 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Innis and Gunn have been around a while. I thought they were owned by or their stuff used to be brewed at Tennents.We done the Tennents tour and were told that they brewed I&G stuff for a while as Tennents have excess brewing space that they essentially rent it out to other smaller breweries.Think I&G have grown a fair bit since then and prob brew/bottle their own stuff now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I mulled over was actually San Miguel which is from where I live but the label is completely different and San Miguel isn't actually a specific beer here - it's a brewery with a few different beers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duszek Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I like gin and I like rosé, so I took a blind punt on this. Rosé gin. It’s utterly horrific. What was I thinking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordons gin, Schweppes tonic, ice and lime. G&T was always excellent, long before the fad bullshit and folk trying to explain to you that "Edinburgh Gin with a twist of orange and Fever Tree slimline" is some sort of new discovery. It doesn't need someone who knows what they are doing either. G&T is a fine drink. That's not to say there aren't a variety of quality gins out there. The whole bullshit around gin fucks me off though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 A decent wee haul from M&S for tonight. Some Paulaner and a few random cans of various Mikkeller beers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
