10 things you might not know about BrewDog bars

Have you been to a BrewDog bar in the UK? If so, you'll likely be aware that they are havens of hoppy joy. They're places you can go and explore and discover some of the most delicious, exciting and sometimes insanely bizarre craft beers known to man. Or dog. But here are a few things you may not have heard about our bars.

1. Flight boards
Loving the look of what's on the draft boards but just cannot make up your mind? Terrified of committing to one single beer? Flight boards are your polygamous friend. Just select 4 beers you fancy the sound of, and we'll serve up a third of each! Perfect for sharing a few beers with friends or if you just fancy something a bit different.  This is an option for any of our draft beers, so get creative and pick n mix!

2. Tasters
If you're not quite ready to make a call on what beers you want on your flight board or you're just intrigued by something that's caught your eye, ask for a taster! We offer free little taster splashes of any of our draft beers so you can try before you buy. Oh, and this is totally free. So please, exploit our generosity at your leisure.

3. Cicerone beer server/Certified Cicerone
All our bar staff are encouraged to sit the Cicerone Certified Beer Server exam. This means that they have a sound knowledge of how beer should be stored, served and consumed, so you can be certain what's in your glass is presented to you in the best possible condition. We also encourage our staff who have passed the first level to sit the second level of these exams, the Certified Cicerone. Many of our team already have this qualification and are therefore next-level beer geeks! Pick their brains to your heart's content if you want to find out more geeky details about the beers we stock.

4. 15% off takeaways
That's right, 15% off all bottles and cans of takeaway beer. Ideal for a summer trip to the park!

5. Soft drinks, wines, spirits and cocktails!
Designated driver? Or just not a big fan of beer? No fear! We have a range of wines and spirits that sit at the same standard as our beer selection. No cheap knockoffs here! We also have a range of craft soft drinks in our fridges if you want something ABV-free. Not only that but all our bars have a variety of beer CocktAles available, which are a great alternative way to enjoy beer. Beer is what we're all about, but we don't discriminate.

6. Free wifi
Because who doesn't heart the internetz. Just ask for the password at the bar.

7. Beer schools
If you want to take your beer journey to the next level, enquire about our Beer Schools in any of our bars. Our Certified Beer Server staff (see point 3 above) will sit with you for an hour or two and guide you through a range of different beer styles, tasting and understanding all sorts of beery history and enjoyment as well as pairing them with some delicious meats and cheeses. Some bars also host ad hoc special sessions, focusing on specific styles or breweries, so keep an eye out for those on our events page!

8. Food
All our bars offer some form of sustenance. Their offering depends on the bar, but you can expect to see anything from artisanal meat and cheese boards to Deep South BBQ to pizza to burgers to scotch eggs and pork pies! There'll always be something to soak up the booze, so ask for a menu next time you stop by.

9. Board games
Because who doesn't dig a few rounds of pop-up pirate or trivial pursuit while sipping on a Punk IPA?! We also exchange a pint for any unwanted games you bring in, so please feel free to donate! The weirder and older, the better…

10. Dogs are allowed!
Naturally :)
