text: If you like beer, pizza and an awesome tucked-away bar for those in the know, you'll like Brew Dog.\n\nBut not just 'beer'. I mean a lot of people can say they like beer, and won't appreciate Brew Dog for what it's worth until they've been. And a lot of people can say they DON'T like beer (case in point right here) and then not appreciate Brew Dog for what it's worth until they've been.\n\nI thought I didn't like beer, but I also knew this was based on standard, bottled, branded beers. It all tasted the same to me. I previously didn't think I liked whisky until I tried smoky, peaty Laphroaig rather than just 'Famous Grouse'. So I was willing and open to try.\n\nI was lucky enough to have a beer tasting at Brew Dog, which I'm sure they'll do if you ask for a party or individuals, and I'd highly recommend it. I admit there was still several of their beers I just didn't like - I'm not a beer drinker. BUT BUT BUT, there was one I loved. Punk IPA. SEriously, I was astounded I found a beer I could not only tolerate but downed. (Not recommended if you've never drunk beer before, tiddly Jen indeed.)\n\nSo, you get the point. Whether you think you like beer, or don't, go to BrewDog and try their beers. The Tokyo 18.2% is something to be experienced in itself.\n\nThe bar itself has a great atmosphere. Some people seem to think it's a little clich\u00e9d and I imagine they mean 'sell out'? Pft. Nah. It's got comfy couches, it's got board games in the corner, it's got tables. They serve pizza. They serve meat and cheese platter. AND they have Salty Dog crisps which are possibly the best crisps ever (beef flavour please).\n\nThe staff are really friendly, super knowledgeable (no Brew Dog bar staff is allowed to work in a bar until they've worked some weeks in the actual brewery. For real. These guys know their beer). \n\nIt's the sort of bar you could rock up to alone and sit at the bar and have good chat. Or read a book in the corner. Or go with a group of mates. I can see over the winter months it's going to be really cosy and comforting.\n\nIt does make me a little sad there aren't more non-beer options (one vodka, one bourbon, and wine). I can't deny it - I'm a tequila drinker, and gin. This is my go-to drink. I'd love to come to Brew Dog more but it'll have to be reserved for times I feel like beer (I never really drink wine in bars). But for those moments, BrewDog is a gem.
