They had the speedbird 100 on draft at the rugby last weekend. I have had it multiple times on flights and found it very average but thought it may be the serving conditions, But no- it isn't a great IPA- Brewdog have much better beers.
I haven't had the aircraft- forgot when in CCR and flying 1st but will try next week.

I was about to comment that there seems to be supply issues with the Brewdog at the moment, but having read the above this seems to be widespread. Both my flights and T5S Galleries this week didn't have it when requested, once from the BOB shop on the way to LED and again on the WTP bar trolley on the way back from DME, the crew on the way back searched the whole aircraft with no joy and encouraged me to complain, which I might do based on this, as well as being seat shifted at online check in from the front row of WTP to the last by the toilets (with no window) and pre departure drinks being offered to one side of the cabin, but not ours.

Air Craft still listed on the Brewdog website as an exclusive for “Equity Punks” investors. Speedbird 100 listed for general dale now:

Price of Speedbird seems a touch high but not too extreme. Ł2.30 per 330ml can. Was in the Galleries/Club lounges at GLA and LGW a couple of times recently and none to be seen. Had some on board and the crew seemed enthusiastic that I’d asked for it. I suspect very few people do. Delightful CC on return leg ALC > LGW gave me some to take home. This was with zero hinting or asking from myself.
The beer itself is nice enough. Slight citrus tones IMO with strong whiffs of marketing gimmick. Very palatable but nothing out of the ordinary.
If be interested to try Air Craft. At over Ł6.00 per 500ml bottle on BD website it’s got a lot of hype to live up to.

I wasn't overly keen on the Air Craft. I tried a bottle a couple of months ago and have stuck to Speedbird since. I'm flying TATL today (LHR > IAD) and will stick to Speedbird again.
Would be happy to bring some Aircraft home for others to try, but unfortunately I travel HBO and have to go back through security on my return as I transfer to the EDI flight.

Apologies. At the time of my original post it was definitely available for purchase and I was able to add some to my basket (didn’t complete the transaction). I can only assume this was an error and has been corrected so that it has reverted to “Exclusive To Equity Punks”.
