Message Theydon_Bois P admin beers 40412 º places 1239 º 04:08 Sat 1/17/2015 Comes up in reviews more often than not. Yeah - old school £3 a pint for some twiggy nonsense and the atmosphere of Uranus does it for some folks so feel free to slate BD as you wish, this is a democracy @ Theydonhebdo however .... I cant understand why someone would give a BD bar a shiddy 8/15 for selection then give their local tied house 15/15. Give BD a low overall score if it aint your thing but Dont Fuck me over on selection... Please !!!
Message imdownthepub P beers 26028 º places 2088 º 04:13 Sat 1/17/2015 Not keen on them myself but saying that I’m not keen on my local tied house either. Good job we don’t like all the same things. £3 a pint! Bit excessive.

Just a few too many BD haters slapping in low reviews but you shouldnt knock them down on selection just cos you Dont like them although i guess this could stem from a no cask POV?
Message Leighton P beers 33700 º places 1204 º 04:24 Sat 1/17/2015 I don’t like most bars when they’re busy and noisy. I rarely go out to bars/pubs on the ’busy nights’ anymore. I don’t think BD is exceptional in that it gets busy and noisy on nights when you would expect that. But to knock BD on selection just shows a lack of understanding for what the word ’selection’ means. Perhaps people giving low selection scores don’t like the selection of punters at BD bars?

Message evergreen0199 P beers 5928 º 04:31 Sat 1/17/2015 I have a strange relationship with Brewdog, I don’t really like them as a company but for me the keg selection in their bars is the best in London. My trips to Brewdog bars are a treat to myself, they are very expensive but I go maybe every few weeks and ALWAYS enjoy my visits, Shepherds Bush being the best and I always end up chatting to the staff for ages.
Message deeblo places 74 º 04:32 Sat 1/17/2015 No cask bitters or golden ales -> automatic -5 for selection. Never mind the numerous guest taps, pub exclusive one-offs, and highly rated imports not found elsewhere in the UK.

Message Desverger beers 29254 º places 383 º 04:49 Sat 1/17/2015 Can only speak from experience having visited the Clapham Brewdog, but found selection was brilliant, service was great, no complaints here (Would love to have a Brewdog in Copenhagen) Will defiantly be going again on next visit back (this reminds me I need to get my place review backlog done!)
Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 04:58 Sat 1/17/2015 I think some people go into a brewdog bar with their preconcieved review already written in their head. They just look to confirm the negatives. Now I have only been to brewdog sheffield once and brewdog brum once. I wouldnt want to spend more than an hour in here. But I enjoy the hour. When I get up the next morning and look into my empty wallet. I usually think more about the negatives. But I cant give something a bad review, just because I personally can’t afford to drink in there on a regular basis. It is a treat for me and I probably appreciate it more than those who go every week. It is what it is!
