Busy. Enthusiastic, informed service as usual.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Dead Pony Club (keg) | 3.80 | | Cool, ultra-hoppy, refreshing. Suspect BrewDog are coming to terms with the new plant at Ellon. |
| BrewDog - Libertine Black IPA (keg) | 7.00 | | Back on form with a huge dollop of Simcoe hops. |

Quiet. Hopinator out of action.

| BrewDog - 5AM Saint (keg) | 5.00 | | Marginal 2*. This was not Saint of old. Now malt laden with very subdued hopping. Hope this is just a temporary aberation. |
| BrewDog - Punk IPA (keg) | 5.40 | | Muted and grainy. Taken off after this serve. |

Must have had a good weekend. No Punk, Saint or DPC.

| Mikkeller - Smack my Brewed Up (keg) | 4.90 | | Good US APA but (you guessed) over chilled and carbonated. Definitely badged as Mikkeller NOT BrewDog. Problem with cuckoo brewers. |

| 8 wired - Superconductor (keg) | 8.80 | | Booming double IPA mixing the best of US and NZ hops. Perfect carbonation and serve temperature. |

Rammed. Top up needed.

| BrewDog - Dead Pony Club (keg) | 3.80 | | Bit too cold and fizzy, otherwise 4*. |

New staff just bedding in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Smack my Brewed Up (keg) | 4.90 | | APA. Plenty of bitterness but flavours seemed muddied. Bar staff said brewed at Ellon - ratebeer suggests De Proefbrouwerij. As it drank like a muted Dead Pony Club my guess is Ellon. Too many Mikkeller beers these days to keep up. |

Packed but quick, enthusiastic service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - IPA is Dead - El Dorado (keg) | 6.70 | | Thin bodied for its abv with not much support from either malt or hops. Mid-brown, over carbonated, over chilled and probably over hyped. |
28 Mar 2013 (Ray)
Very busy. Sampled 2 De Molen beers which were, as expected, over chilled and over carbonated.

| BrewDog - Vagabond Pilsner (keg) | 4.50 | | Confused style. Was it an Pale Ale or a Czech Pilsner? It wasn't sure and fell between. 77 Lager was a much better take. |

Convivial - will this get me barred for not being edgy enough?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mikkeller - Beer Hop Breakfast (keg) | 7.50 | | So I got another glass and poured back and forth to knock out the excess gas. Superb oatmeal stout. Rich, smooth, coffee/choclatey and dry. This should easily be 4* except for the pour. Mikkeller, why let your craftsmanship be compromised by dispense?? |
| Mikkeller - Beer Hop Breakfast (keg) | 7.50 | | Over carbonated to the point where there was no aroma, taste or mouthfeel. Told it was key keg. So what - it was expensive and poor. |

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB25 1EB.
BrewDog's first bar and well worth the wait. Tidy, minimalist decor. As you'd expect plenty of rough brick and unpainted steel. Limited food at the moment but 6 beers all on keg plus a range of import beers at champagne prices.
We have visited this pub 89 times, seen 126 different beers and tried 84 of them.
