Cursed by once a year drinkers and people in elf jumpers the owners were rubbing theire hands gleefully.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Stone - 2nd Anniversary DIPA8.70AcceptableNot as hop focussed as you'd expect from Stone. This was a Berlin brew.

More staff than customers.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Fierce - Day Shift5.00GoodSmooth but sharp. Flavoursome.
Kirkstall - Providence5.20AcceptableDescribed as as a New England Pale Ale, it wasn't. Too bitter, lacking juicy mouthfeel it was more West Coast.

Ideal spot to wait for a lift. Twenty taps - half of them taken by Wicklow Wolf beers.

Early evening and plenty of room. Becoming my bar of choice in this part of Aberdeen.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Stone - CoCo-POW7.30ExcellentA substantial porter subtley infused with coconut shavings and coffee beans. My type of beer.
Fierce - Day Shift5.00GoodAlthough Fierce are renowned for 'unusual' adjuncts this is a tasty, straight ahead APA.
Wiper and True - Bristol Crush3.80PoorInoccuous to the point of blandness it needed more of everything except this punter's money.

Website.

The pub is found in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB11 5BW.

In Exchequer Row, a modern style conversion of a run down boozer round the back of the BrewDog bar on Castlegate. Less achingly hip than BrewDog and all the better for it, there's 20 taps at reasonable prices. Tasty snacks and dog friendly. Tap for the Fierce Brewery and well worth a visit but no cask.

We have visited this pub 10 times, seen 14 different beers and tried them all.
