    Three new beers from Trouble then! Twitter says they are going to bottle the Whistle Blower IPA, available in a few weeks.

    Anyone tried the Trouble Brewing Whistle Blower IPA in Brew Dock? Seems that's the only place it's available at the moment.

    Was in Brewdock today abd this wasn't on. Maybe they have a keg in the cellar?

    Sitting in Ssweetmans waiting for a friend and ordered a pint of Porter. Up to 4.70 now. Second price hike in 4 months from them, waiting for the ensuing thread full of people spouting faux outrage and cries of price gouging That's a 17.5% increase since new years.

    They must have got ahead of themselves on Twitter.

    BrewDock tweeted this evening that they have the Fuzzy Logic and the Red Rye. No mention of the Whistle Blower. I have asked for confirmation....

    Eager to try it!

    That is certainly disappointing, regardless of the 'faux' outrage you see everywhere.

    They have the keg, what they don't have is a spare tap to put it through

    Fuzzy logic was tapped 10 minutes before I had to leave for the train but got a sneaky half pint of it. It's nice as far as witbier goes (I'm not a huge fan of witbier).

    Keo Cypriot beer. It's a little like Efes a Turkish beer. For me Keo is the nicest drinkable, cheap beer better than Carlsberg, Heiniken or Tsing Tao.

    I'm fairly sure he could name a few beers even higher than that tbh. I think his shock comes from the fact that it's a Trouble Brewing beer and they have tended to be very conservative in styles thus far.

    The Red Rye I had today was anything but conservative though, 6% avb, massive biscuity malt backbone and copiously hopped, fecking great beer.

    You should get a founders breakfast stout to round off the collection when you get a chance.

    Whole range, no idea if the "monthly special" aka the Pale Ale (I've never seen any other beer offered as the special) has gone up though so that might still be €4...

    I would generall agree, Dark Arts is "grand" but nothing special and the others I could pretend don't exist but I loved troubled hooker, and I think the Red Rye is fecking lovely.

    I was just at the local market and cans of Dead Pony are more expensive than bottles. I would have thought it was the other way round.

    Brewdog don't have a canning line themselves so it's probably more expensive to buy cans wholesale.

    I've seen them cheaper in most places. McCambridges in Galway had the bottles for €2.75 and the cans for €2.50 last summer.

    Not sure if this is the correct place (didn't think it warranted a thread) but Carlow Brewing as beer sponsors of Sea Sessions festival this year
