The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
Flying in the face of conventional, bland and boring, Captain BrewDog (James Watt) and Beer Pirate (Martin Dickie) have turned the beer world on its head – exporting BrewDog to over 30 countries; sprouting bars from Glasgow to São Paulo. Using only finest, natural and occasionally bizarre ingredients − including Scottish berries, artisanal cacao and organic heather honey − their Aberdeen brewery is as much evolutionary as it is revolutionary. We’re talking ‘flamin’ groovy’ beer cocktails. Above BrewDog Glasgow’s frosted panes you get a squirrel’s eye panorama of the gallery and university. An epic list of house and guest beers/ales presents dilemma, so try a 'beer flight': four third-pint tastings selected by über passionate, beer-savvy staff. From the daily specials, ‘Catherine’s Pony’ (a Beavertown Brewery collaboration) pairs well with the Scottish fine cheese platter that plays no second fiddle. ‘Dog stew, feisty Aberdeen angus burgers and stonebaked pizzas with fairy-sprinkled fresh herbs are all top notch to boot.

Wow, couldn't disagree more with SJK! Personally, I think this bar is an absolute gem: when coupled with the Three Judges just down the road there can't be many better venues for quality beers in Glasgow. The staff have always been an absolute credit to the place in my opinion: knowledgable, friendly and always happy to talk through the beers with a "novice", I honestly couldn't sing the praises of them highly enough! As for the food: can't comment on the pizzas (still not given them a try) or nachos (never seen them on the menu?), but the burgers are a class above, particularly love the one with black pud and chorizo!
The only reason for the place losing marks for me is actually more a grievance with BrewDog as a company: guys, we get that you don't care for "CAMRA"-types, but would it really hurt to have a hand-pump or a few more British ales in? Also, the prices for guest beers need a look at: FAR too pricey in some instances. Overall though, BrewDog Glasgow is well worth the visit: wonderful staff, wonderful beer and not too much of a hint of the preening and posturing that comes from the PR machine up in Aberdeenshire! SJK: are you sure you were in the same bar?!
