During the time of the British Empire, they used to export their ales to India, by the time the beer arrived in India the beer had spoiled so the breweries decided to experiment with the recipes to fix this, they found adding more hops improved the beers survivability and taste. The breweries called this beer for export to India, Indian Pale Ale or IPA.

9:23 Marzen is German, it takes its name from being originally brewed in March and is the traditional beer of Oktoberfest.

Came for the Guinness. Stayed for Daragh.

Great one man. Keep these types of videos coming! A normal dude trying to interpret all of these different options we have walking into a bar in 2023. I like trying different novelty beers every now and again over a Guinness, which I would usually chose.

Really interesting video mate. I’ve been into craft beer for about 2 years now and honestly there’s so much choice out there. A lot of bad beer but also a lot of fantastic beer and it’s an interesting thing to do to dive into the different styles of ales and lagers. This could be a great series of videos as there’s quite a few companies trying to be that entry-level craft beer company for people. Awesome video though mate, enjoyed this one

Love to see this type of content on the channel, great idea for a video. Love it

I quote from Wikipedia: "Pilsner (also pilsener or simply pils) is a type of pale lager. It takes its name from the Bohemian city of Plzeň (German: Pilsen), where the world's first pale lager (now known as Pilsner Urquell) was produced in 1842 by Pilsner Urquell Brewery." You can still get Pilsner Urquell (it's brewed in the Czech Republic). It's one of my favourite lagers. Although you rarely see it on draught in pubs here in London, it's sold in bottles, in many supermarkets.

Great content, this is off topic but I was planning a trip to Ireland in January to try some of the different stouts and visit a couple of places like cork etc never did I think I would get Kilkenny or Caffrey’s in Tenerife and Guinness was actually not so bad better than what I’d get back home in Scotland. Would really like to see some content in places like Tenerife for example for the Guinness and maybe different Irish stouts. The Kilkenny and Caffrey’s were really nice.

Your Mans pretty good about knowing his onions. The difference between pilsner and lager generally is the different malt that’s it’s brewed with. Different IPAS are normally defined by the hops from where they originated. IPA is more bitter ( again influenced by early boil hops ) pales are less bitter. Colour and clarity also define different styles. I love punk always have some in the fridge and I brew my fair share of beer. The black heart is delicious in my humble opinion. Great selection of beers , great vid nice work sláinte cheers 👍🍻

Darah doing the Lord's work. All the questions you asked I've been too intimidated to ask myself in a bar. Good man 👌🏼 and why can they just call it an APA ?! 😂

I find here in London the craft beer is expensive In my local pub about 2 quid more than any other pint Great upload Daragh

Brewdog is the Carling/Fosters/Lambrini etc of the craft beer world.

Marzen beer from Belgium eh? Pilsner has wheat? This guy shouldn't be working here.

I think this is the route... not guinness guru but maybe beer boss. Exploring the world of beers.

The intention of this video was absolutely nailed here boss

Brew dog started off as a value for money craft beer company…. Boy have they changed and now have prices that make a working man eyes wince 😢😢

Brilliant one Daragh

You’re not wrong about mixing too many flavours in one sitting

Great video again. Your video style/production is looking better and better with each video, really great stuff. 👍

Brewdog invented in Scotland, Aberdeenshire 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You really need to get the PerfectDraft machine from The Beer Gals. Loads of these type of beers on draft.

That bar man is talking shite , punk ipa has not been modified to make it better since 2007 it’s actually been stripped back multiple times to make more more profits .. punk ipa is a shadow of its former self it used to be 6% abv and really cloudy , now it’s crystal clear and tastes like a bad lager in my opinion .. I do quite like lost lager though ..good video though pal 👍

That session beer craic is so funny. Yeah lad, lemme grab 12 of those session beers for about 100 euro 😂

When i saw the headline i thought u got sick 🤣

A Brazilian man with an Irish accent. Amazing.

Did the camera man have a few sneaky ones beforehand?!

I watched this while drinking 7.8 per cent craft beer , great video but I was bollocked to the moon after the cans

It's a weird place is Brewdog. Soulless.

The Smiths on in the background. Life’s good. 🍺🎸

Thanks, never even heard of this place, must waddle down some day to sample some beers.

Pilsner is based off a style of beer. Czech style to be very basic about it!

I like the high abv brewdog drinks like mr president or arcade made and when they brew it jackhammer. I also like that brewdog publish all there recipes for homebrewers

Very interesting Daragh,can’t see you turning to the dark side though 😂😂🍻

Good to see you try out those beers! Am quite into the craft scene but despite that I always find Guinness the best stout out there. Others I've tried are great but Guinness has this unique taste. And you can go in a sesh with em

craft beers always taste like flowers

Lucas is a legend 👌

Used to love Punk IPA and Elvis Juice but it went wrong during Rona and never returned to glory. Punk IPA in particular doesn't taste anything like it used to do. Just like my opinion man ..

Where is lucas from, the accent is so close but i fail to guess 😥

Lost lager came out about 10 years after brewdog become a company, dunno what that guy was on about. First brewdog beers were punk, dead pony club, 5am saint. Very rarely see the last 2 anymore

BrewDog couldn’t be further away from ‘craft’ beer haha. Commercialised mass produce garbage

😊 hands up I'm a brew dog fan and an investor, but I really enjoyed your down-to-earth honest assessment and your conversation with the brew dog bartender.

Manscape from d bollix up 🤣🤣

Didn’t know there was wheat in largers

Enjoyable. Id say it near impossible to do an honest review when person is there with you though. I think having all the beers there with just a number takes away some character from the pub. Just my opinion

you will have to try wines next

I session imperial stouts , just have 3rds ...

Brewdog were the number one craft beer about 6-8 years ago... They're by no means the measuring stick anymore as they're a global company who mass produce their products. Kinda expect you to know that as you're a self proclaimed expert. Seriously though, try some beers from Cloud Water, Verdant, Track, Deya, Pollys or Sureshot.

I have yet to find one of these new beers I can like much prefer my guinness, smithicks

For context brewdog is not located beside Google, it's a 20 min walk

Funny he says wetherspoons sells basic beer yet has punk on draught and sells hazy Jane/ Elvis juice

Brewdog is the Budweiser of craft beer companies

Is Lucus Chinese?

Brewdog is probably the last place on earth I'd try new craft beer. Brewdog actually used to be a fair decent brewery until the "downsizing". The likes of Lough Gill, Blacks of Kinsale, Original 7 & Whitefield are all excellent Irish breweries. I've had beer from about 30 different microbreweries on this Island and found those to be the cream of the crop so far. I get the hipser, pretensous, snobby feel to craft beer. There's always a lad wearing a tweed jacket with a twisty moustache, reading a book he's actually not into, in his early 20s that will look down on you if you order a Heineken. Despite his beer being total shite. Double hopped ,bees arse, pale Indian man ale. Unfortunately, a lot of Craft beer is shite. More so in BrewDog.

Brewodg are an insult to the craft beer community

Remember when brewdog brought out that beer that was cheaper for women? Never bought a thing from them since, never will.

Märzen is German,not Belgium,that guy know nothing about beer like Brewdog

I struggle with Ales, not always because of the taste, people tend to say Guinness fills them up, but for me I can drink Guinness till the cows come home, whereas after 3-4 pints of Ale for me there's no more room at the Inn, suppose it's what you get used to drinking

Don't think Brewdog can be regarded as craft beer anymore. They're not even in the top 50 "craft" beers in the UK. Very average.

My big gripe with Brewdog is the overstocking of it in supermarkets. My small "local" store has two shelves and a large portion of the refrigerated beer dedicated to BD, including the non-alcoholic stuff. There are maybe two other "craft" offerings, which is pitiful BUT the worst thing of all is that they don't stock Guinness! Seriously, we have 8 types of Brewdog but no room for some of the black stuff?

When ye approach the 40 mark you can start sampling wines , even as I write this I know I'm gonna turn on KZfaq some day and you'll spring out of a vineyard after stamping on some grapes, it's gonna happen

The hangovers are worse for sure. Guinness I can drink however much takes my fancy but pretty much anything else I can enjoy more than Guinness if I pop into a brewdog and try a few pints of the weird and wonderful BUT Guinness never gives me a hangover and this stuff honestly always does.

brew dog is not a good example of craft beer - get some from vocation brewery or polly's brewery instead!!!!!!

Brewdog is overprocrf trash. If you want real ale you need to ho to Yorkshire where it is an artform. Masham in particular, but many towns and cities have incredible , affordable pubs where standards are high

"indian pale ale"!! go to a brewdog bar was your first mistake..... many great craft bars in dublin, brewdog is not one

Don't start with the clickbait Daragh, It will only turn people away. Keep it genuine, don't be like the other youtubers that everyone hates.

Hipsters are mid brewers at best - nerds

Everything ive ever tried in brewdog is rotten

Brewdog has really gone downhill the past few years. Have tried a few pints of Punk IPA recently and they've all been horrendous. The Lost Lager is ok. Nothing special, but drinkable. Their stout is bang average.

For a BD Manager you'd think he would know that Wingman is marketed as a "Session IPA" as is Dead Pony Club

The term craft beer is used to charge high prices for most beers that are not that good. There were some great beers years ago that were lost when the big breweries came to town and also lowered the ABV content on some classic ales.

Fn amateur hour

Daragh has sold his sole to the devil - what a shame.

Brewdog beers are fkn awful. So many better options out there.

Darragh I was a fan but you listing to to people that think there bar men is a no go don't think that fella talking shite thinks he knows he doesn't go back to the roots he knows knothing about bar work

You lost me at Brewdog being the No.1 Craft Beer brewer, even if it is self proclaimed. Go to a proper craft beer brewer - you might not get as many clicks admittedly, but it’ll show you’re serious about learning about it 👍🏼

British beer is horrible

First

Brewdog is far from craft

Forget about it stick to stout

I have not watched a single video since you stopped being the Guinness Guru.

I’ve tried craft beer in the uk, and weirdly even as far as the Philippines (don’t ask) I’ve never liked it, it’s always got a fkin twang/sourness to it, or it’s too heavy, sorry, not for me!

Great balance of amateur but also attempting to define the taste without being pretentious
