A storm brew(dog)ing in a Tea cup
There seems to be a lot in the press today about the release of BrewDog’s new 18% tokyo* beer, it would seem the press have latched onto it and aren’t letting go. Now this might upset a few people but we have a feeling its something BrewDog planned, what better way to get some free publicity than brew something completely different and uber strong.

Read MoreBrewDog Special Offer
Thought I’d give the readers of Beer Blog a quick heads up on a post I noticed on another blog, the guys over @ blog o beer have been tipped off by James @ BrewDog about a special offer. You can read all about it here but, to sum it up, they are offering a whopping 70% off their Zeitgeist black lager if you purchase it from the Zeitgeist website using the code “SHEEP”, apparently it only works on the Zeitgeist website not the BrewDog one so get yourself over to www.zeitgeistbeer.com and give it a whirl.
