A blog about beer, food, and other stuff that interests me. Un-ashamedly Brewdog orientated. I am an equity punk. All opinions are my own.

How Much is Too Much?

 Contained within the latest offering of new beers from Brewdog is the opportunity to buy their new ceramic growler design.
 It's limited edition, hand made, imported from the USA, holds 4 pints and looks totally awesome.
 The catch? It costs £75.
 Even with maximum EFP discount it still costs £60. Thats the price of 17 and a half pints of Dead Pony Club In Brewdog Aberdeen.
 I'm sure they will sell out eventually, but this scamp won't be investing his hard earned cash in this.
 Maybe it's because I prefer to do my drinking in the pub. Maybe it's because most of the Brewdog beers I would consider taking home in a growler, I can buy in bottles in my local supermarket.
 Maybe it's because I'm not the sort of guy who would want to take 4 pints of Tokyo* home to share with a friend.
 Maybe it's because, being ceramic, I would be terrified to use it in case I dropped it.
 Just to be clear, I actually want one, but I'm not willing to pay the price being asked.
 I'm going to spend my money on beer instead. I've heard good things about AB 11.

If you're a wealthy scamp and enjoy taking beer home from your local Brewdog Bar you can Buy it here.
