First coffee of the day

Had several glasses of this the other night - anyone else tried it?
One of the best beers I've ever tried!

Yup I've tried that. In Weatherspoons right? Quite strong from memory.
Currently rehydrating with some standard water. Few too many coffees today has left me more than a little parched.

Yeah that's right - it's around 6% if memory serves me right.
Just been reading up on them and apparently they're available as part of a promotional deal throughout September in all Weatherspoons. At £2.49 for a 330ml can I'd urge anyone reading this thread who is a beer fan to go purchase a couple of cans it really is that good. I also read they interviewed the bar manager of the Edinburgh branch who said up until this, their best selling 330ml can was Irn Bru (figures) he also seemed to think the stemmed glasses they've bought in to serve these will "walk out of the door"
He might be right . . . . . . .

All of the Sixpoint beers in Wetherspoons are good. They're not a promotional September thing, they have been selling them for a few month as part of their move (or introduction) to craft beer.
They are re-branding from tomorrow and will also be selling Lagunitas IPA, Devil's Backbone IPA, another from Brewdog and some Adnams ones. Not always been a fan of Spoons but with the quality of some of the beers they are getting at the price, can't go wrong.
