With a change of management the old problems of over-carbonated, over-chilled beers have resurfaced.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Dead Pony Club (keg) | 3.80 | | Loaded with fresh hops. Would have been 4* except for the serve. |
| BrewDog - Chaos Theory (keg) | 7.10 | | Where were the hops? Should have been rammed with Nelson Sauvin but they seemed curiously absent.Boring, brown, over-chilled, over-carbonated. |

Rammed but fast service. Poor guest list.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Libertine Black IPA (keg) | 7.00 | | When fresh the Simcoe hops leap out and grab you by the throat. Tonight they couldn't summon the energy to crawl out and die. |

Busy mid-evening. No sign of the novelty wearing off.
Enjoyed a 650ml bottle of Green Flash Imperial, abv. 9.4%, at the (relatively) modest price of £7.80.

Beer tastings seem a real success. They's drawn in aat least 20 additional customers on this driech evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Rock - Canonball IPA (keg) | 7.40 | | Confident, West Coast style, IPA. Big flavours, solid but slightly metallic finish. |

Busy late evening. Predominantly tounger crowd savouring rather than necking their beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Libertine Black IPA (keg) | 7.00 | | Not at its freshest. Hops seemed strangely muted for a BrewDog beer. |

Lively. Craft beer still thrives here.

| BrewDog - Libertine Black IPA (keg) | 7.00 | | No wonder I can't buy Simcoe for my home brew. They've all gone here. |

Exemplary service from people who are keen to talk about beer and music.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrewDog - Punk IPA (keg) | 5.40 | | This was great. From the new brewery at Ellon, it was fresh, hoppy and well balanced. Let's hope this is the shape of (good) things to come. |
| Cromarty - Rogue Wave (keg) | 5.70 | | Anywhere else this would have merited 4* but somehow it didn't stand up against BrewDog's fuller flavours. Restrained. |

Busy. Got out just as the live 'music' was starting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Rock - Big Top (keg) | 8.00 | | 5AM Saint on steroids. |
| Uncommon - Baltic Porter (keg) | 7.80 | | Hoppy beer with clear coffee flavours. Head died quickly. |
| Cromarty - Red Rocker (keg) | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Busy. Excellent service.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schneider - Schneider Weisse Original (keg) | 5.40 | | Badged here as Tap 7 this is a classic wheat beer. Fruity spice aromas, full bodied and crisp. Bitter almost sour finish. |

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.
