Nice, it came highly recommended by one of the girls in the shop.
I've had a few other beers from Brewdog but not many since we don't tend to get a lot of their beers.

To be honest their growing diversity has lead to them being a bit hit and miss these days, but when they're good they are great.

For me the best UK brewery at the moment is one that the Belgian Piglet actually put me on to, and is only a few miles from me, Thornbridge. I don't know if you get much of their stuff in the US but i have yet to try anything which was anything less than extremely good.

We've been getting more Thornbridge stuff as of late, I had the Jaipur IPA and loved it.
I saw their Saint Petersburg imperial Russian stout at the store last night, almost picked that one up too!

It's lovely

Divine Reserve is hit or miss, since each year is a different recipe. I remember the 9 was really good, a couple of the years after were forgettable. Haven't had the 15 yet.

EDIT: some interesting options available, based on the Google interior shot.

It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in Austin, right next to Black Sheep Lodge which always has a good beer selection.
They always are getting in new beers too, pretty impressive. Staff knows what they're talking about too.

@Broark:

Nothing like Seul's hauls, but not too shabby I don't think!

Living 20' from what has been chosen as one of the best "bottle shops" by RateBeer, makes this easy for me… Believe me: I'm extremely grateful for their hard work... Thank you, Geers...

@Megatron1505 Thanks, are there any beer online shops in Belgium? How expensive is shipping of fragile stuff usually compared to regular packages?

How to drink beer and not have to deal with that warm piss flavor:

Yet another proposal I have given to the UN to help the worlds starving children get the proper grain intake, but still no answer back. My heart bleeds at the thought.

What kind of beer are you looking for?.. Brown, blond, IPA, sour, black, red, barel aged,… I can compose an order for you...

shoque

@Seul Thanks!

Blond and IPA mostly, and I wouldn't mind to try a third kind.

Feel free to compose something.

Giles

Brunette?

Seul

shoque: budget, and/ or desired amount of beers?..

shoque

200 Euros for the beginning, mostly blond and IPAs. Some bottles of other types would be nice, but not too much.
