Cromarty Brewery.  Happy Chappy is a very nice pint. 

Bigger fan of Black Isle in all honesty. Wish we got their stuff here regularly, although in fairness, a fair old trek to NZ.

Nice one. Black Isle are my favourite, some fantastic beers plus their bars in Inverness and Fort William are great.

Oh, there's a Black Isle one I loved, Red Kite.

I think they changed the name of it......

[InversneckieDob]

They still have Red Kite on their website.

When I was in the Black Isle Bar at Christmas they didn't have the Red Kite on draught, but they had something similar with a different name.

I like a pint of Tennents

That’ll be the Red Nitro, another great beer which is a smoother version of Red Kite but not quite as good. Craftsman in Aberdeen have black isle beer on draught.

Correct. If kept correctly and served cold it's the best on tap lager in Scotland.

That's the very fella.

I had assumed it was a replacement for Red Kite.

Is that the pub on the corner of Market St and Guild St?

 

What was it formerly called (in the days when it opened at 6 and had 'dancers' Friday tea-time)?

The Schooner! Spent some time in there down the years.

Including going in for a pint pre-work at 8.00a.m. one day.

To do with a bet.....long story.

Ahhhh The Schooner. Many a Saturday morning spent there from 7am after a hefty night out. The good old early 90s!!

There's gratitude. Company was born here or here about and the yanks step in and immediately close them all down. 

Never been in myself but I did like the MADE IN ABERDEEN neon sign in the Union Street window and the burgers were meant to be affa fine. 

[Mentorred]

Wondering how it will affect their USA branches. Was kinda cool having this sign in Cleveland

Just what the city needs, more job losses.

It's going to be a ghost town soon.

I do hope the prick James Watt isn't still on social media telling folk how he would fix Britain and save the taxpayer billions.

Now it's been sold off will the people who bought 'shares' when Brewdog started out be able to get weighed in or were they more like donations dressed up as shares and they'll never see a return?

From what I read they can wave their investment goodbye

I would suspect some invested just to be part of it rather than make money. 
 

Shame for the staff and all that but entirely self inflicted by the previous directors. 
 

Beer for people who don’t like beer.
