  I noticed this for sale yesterday but hadn’t appreciated it wasn’t previously available online. There is also 4 cans for £7.20 if you wanted to add a smaller number of cans to a larger order.

    It’s been available in individual cans online since before Christmas. Been £1.80 for a good few weeks too 👍🏻

• ChrisC says:

  £1.80 a can is an OK price for what it is.

  Heck BA charge £4.45 for a 330ml can on the BoB menu.

  • The Original David says:

    24 Apr24 April 05:59

    But… when BA launched BoB they promised they weren’t going to charge rip-off prices, “like other carriers do”. Surely there must be some mistake…

    • Bluekjp says:

      BA said that they wouldn’t charge rip-off prices for M&S products onboard but would only add a few percent for the extra carriage costs.
      Brewdog IPA is not an M&S product, therefore BA have not broken their word on that.

    I wouldn’t pay that much for it. I must admit I have drank copious amounts of it sat in CW. Air Craft is quite a nice beer too.

• Alex W says:

  Nowhere does it tell you the can size? Assuming it’s 330ml then the price works out to over £3 per pint. Cheaper than a London pub but a massive premium over a nice can of Hobgoblin or Doom Bar.

  For people that like fancy ‘craft’ beers, there are loads of offers out there for Beer52. You can get the price down to nearer £1 per 330ml can.

    BrewDog prices vary quite widely per can. I put an order in a couple of weeks back (when you could properly mix & match which was clearly a nightmare for distribution. Got 48 cans (so free delivery) for just over £60, with a few cans of speedbird thrown into the mix.

  Placed my order the other day for 24 speedbird and 24 punk ipa.

  I quite like Speedbird. First had it nearly a year ago where I flew to Reykjavik in J. They’d just launched it and it wasn’t in the J bar yet nor lounges so I ended up buying it from the BoB menu to try.

  Also had a load at a mate’s wedding in Germany in Sept. Helped get over my anxiety of being there in a shirt and jeans after KLM left my suit in AMS!

  • Harry T says:

    Bit rude of KLM!

    Pro tip for anyone else stuck – suits are available in Germany also

      Pro Tip #2
      Keep any essentials with you in the cabin.

    • Mike P says:

      I’d just bought a new suit a few weeks before and it didn’t make a huge amount of sense to even attempt to buy yet another one (even though they get a reasonable amount of wear) in the 2 hours I had in a Dresden shopping mall to find something whilst my wife was going nuts trying to find a dress also!

        what @Heathrowflyer said.

    • Rob says:

      They generally tend to come in odd shades like dark green though!

  • Novice says:

    24 Apr24 April 09:35

    Couldn’t you have hired a suit to decrease the anxiety 😂

    Shirt and jeans at a German wedding, did you fall foul of the rule that no one takes their jacket off until the groom takes his jacket off? Happened to me at a wedding there where at the reception everyone seemed to take their jacket off at the same time. It had been 40 degree heat all day and i didn’t even wear a jacket all day.

• Andrew (@andrewseftel) says:

  Probably last chance to buy it too. Even before the whole C19 thing, they were going to replace it with a new pale ale called Jet Stream.

  Like many I have drunk a fair bit of this in BA lounges or onboard but during the current unpleasantness I’m trying to support small local independents who are doing delivery of their beer to make up for zero pub trade. Have had some excellent beers and service has been excellent as its often the brewer or one of their team that brings the beers. Had a few the day after they were canned or bottled so I may never leave home again – shop local if you can

  • Denis says:

    +1

  • Lady London says:

    24 Apr24 April 11:08

    Was that Shop Local (hic !)

  • James says:

    24 Apr24 April 13:23

    Yes, should you be in South London, By the horns are doing free home delivery on some crackers. Really important to support the small guys at this time.

  • The Savage Squirrel says:

    24 Apr24 April 14:59

    Exactly this. Might I recommend the superb BrewYork to all those in the York region. brewyork.co.uk. Freee delivery too. hic!

• Heathrow Flyer says:

  24 Apr24 April 08:50

  Does anyone have any recommendations for local beer suppliers for online delivery/collection? Prefer more of a craft lager than an ale usually, I noticed Beer 52 stocks very few lagers.

  • John Caribbean says:

    24 Apr24 April 08:56

    Local breweries, real ale and otherwise, can be searched for on the CAMRA Pulling Together site.

    • Michael C says:

      Has anyone heard of the Mexican real ale organisation, Aztec CAMRA?….

        😁

    Check if any local pubs are doing takeaway on your daily walks.

    If you like Brooklyn lager and live in London they’ve got a £20 pack of 12 cans of 3 different lagers of which £5 goes to hospitality action. Pick-up points seem to be local breweries so a chance to support them also and maybe pick up some other beers too – my local in East London is London Fields brewery buy I’m guessing they have other locations too

  • CV3V says:

    24 Apr24 April 10:54

    its no longer small, but I recommend Drygate (which is very local to me) which can be ordered online, always preferred their stuff to Brewdog. Their brewery and bar are also a great destination to visit.

  • Stagger Lee says:

    24 Apr24 April 13:58

    Flavourly have a good selection of lagers

    I’m getting my beer from North Brewing in Leeds, as they do local deliveries from their brewery a mile away from where I live) – https://www.northbrewing.com/

    Brass Castle in Malton are good as well – https://brasscastle.co.uk/

    Harviestoun and Williams brothers both do great beers and have online shops at reasonable prices, they’re both smaller Scottish breweries

• Liam says:

  This has been on sale in their online shop since a few weeks after it launched with BA. I think it was out of stock recently but it was on sale in the shop in March.
