Sounds reasonable, unless they buy everything on board so there's nothing left for passengers.
Is that what @flyerkit is saying?

Tried the speedbird IPA yesterday in economy on 107. Im not a massive fan of fizzy drinks these days and it was certainly up there on the fizz level. Tasted pleasant enough though.

Absent at Gatwick lounges today...
It seems I may have to pay for it to try it. Hardly as advertised but prepared to invest four and a half quid to try it on route to Malaga in about a hour
Be interesting to see if its free on the Cityflyer fleet for my next trip on wednesday. I did read it was going live from today on that franchise but the proof will be in the pudding I guess..

On BA164 now in F and I had a taste of the Brewdog Aircraft beer. Definitely not my cup of tea! Much too sour for my liking. Fortunately I downgraded to Tribute, which I always enjoy. I guess its one of those things you either love or hate.

I was waiting for this thread to appear.
Nothing available on way back from PHX in J last night, nothing in T5 but did manage to get a couple on the LHR-NCL hop back - no pun intended
As a someone who travels the world to appreciate beer I thought this was an excellent modern style Pale Ale, I hope it becomes a regular offering.
It's certainly not sour, try a real spontaneously fermented beer from a brewery like Cantillon or BrewDog's very own excellent OverWorks brewery for that flavour profile.
For the record my favourite airline beer is Voodoo Ranger, sometimes served on AA.

Glad it wasn't sour as the Overworks brew isn't on European routes.

Travelling in F, no Speedbird 100 or Air Craft loaded on the BA246 back from So Paulo yesterday. The CSD went and checked all the bars on the plane... was a shame as I was particularly looking forward to trying the sour. He did mention that he'd seen some internal comms about it not being loaded on all flights until the middle of the month - but was a little vague.

I managed to get a can on 1st flying to Malta. Was told that it was BoB only and so had to be paid for in CE. So I paid as I really wanted to try it. Then on the return, was told it was free in CE. Seems like BA don't really know. I'm going to raise an enquiry with BA directly and see what they say.
