Thought I'd better hurry up and review this one, in case it disappears from sight given Brewdog's much-publicised financial collapse (and utter shafting of their "Equity for Punks" small investors...)
Brewdog Punk AF
What's it like? You can see what they've done with the name there - it's alcohol-free (actually 0.5%), but also Punk AF! And that's all well and good, but what's it like to drink? Well, it majors on citrus notes (grapefruit?) but minors on tasting like an ale. Don't get me wrong, it's entirely pleasant and genuinely quite refreshing, but it struck me, half-way through, that I didn't really feel like I was drinking a beer. And that's a problem, given that this is marketed as an IPA. The fact that I was drinking it straight from the can, and so didn't have the visual reinforcement, probably didn't help. But I just felt like I was drinking a nice, light, refreshing soft drink... which makes you start to question the price, and your life choices. Or is that just me?
Would I drink it in a pub? Yes.
Would I drink more than one? Probably.
Would I drink it all night? No.
Stats: 0.5% ABV. Calories 15 kcal/100ml. Currently £5 for 4 x 330ml cans in Sainsbury's

Does sort of feel like Brewdog missed a trick not licensing Do The Dog for use in their ads. No wonder they went bust...
