This month's "Business Insider" magazine features Brewdog on the front cover:
The LocAle handpump crowns are now in use in both the Douglas Arms and the Burnett Arms in Banchory. The Legion also has a supply of the materials, but it's been a while since they had any ales on that would qualify as LocAle - they tend to mostly be English beers on there. I've delivered to Raymond at the Elizabethan in Fraserburgh as well, but have still to get round some of the other Deeside outlets.
I was surprised at a recent visit to the Potarch Hotel to see only one handpump in use and it wasn't a Cairngorm or Deeside beer - in fact, it was the first time I'd seen Sharp's Doombar in darkest Deeside. Jaff's at Dunecht also had only one pump operational and it was Landlord.
The Boat Inn at Aboyne still had 2 LocAle beers on - Cairngorm's Trade Winds and Deeside's Macbeth - plus Fyne Ales' Hurricane Jack - wonderfully bitter.
Recent away trips have taken in the Central Bar in St. Andrews, which was incredibly busy for 7:30 pm on a wet Tuesday evening. They were doing a roaring trade, especially of Edinburgh Gold. In Grantown, the usually reliable Ben Mhor Hotel had been drunk dry of ale by the hordes visiting Motormania, so we had to settle for Trade Winds at the Grant Arms - a snip at £4.25 a pint.
Heading back to the Lake District this weekend and looking forward to some interesting beers there.
