I think one of their advertising strap lines was “specifically brewed to work perfectly in the air and adapt to the reduction in taste and smell sensitivity at high altitudes” - I'll be interested in your trip report from ground level!

I really like SpeedBird although their Air Craft certainly tastes better in the Air.

Some Speedbird 100 news
As we know, this is not being brewed anymore and is not for sale from Brewdog (UK). Some supply seems to be in the lounges, but is dwindling onboard. A CSM of a recent flight (last week) informed me that all stocks had now been used and that is it! I'd be gutted if this is the case.
I managed to order some from the Brewdog EU site, had it sent to a friend in mainland Europe and then onto me. It does seem it is still for sale on the EU site. If anyone is intrested in getting some more of this lovely IPA, let me know! Maybe if a few of us really want a good few, I would go and pick up a large quanity from Brewdog in Germany and bring them back - subject to Avios availability!

If you can't get hold of one from a bar or a kindly soul on here, you'll get a pretty close approximation from "Funk x Punk". It was suggested that Aircraft was a simple rebrand of that, and while that is not true (at least according to Brewdog) they do say that Aircraft is basically a tweak in the recipe, so they are very similar.

As an aside, I've been to a few BrewDog bars over the last few days. All had been very good in their Covid responsibilities - you couldn't even go to your table until you'd done the track and trace.
Until... BrewDog Paddington. There is a sign in the door saying "Wait to be seated", but there is nobody actually greeting. So, after a few minutes, people are just walking in and straight to the bar or a seat. There's no track-and-trace whatsoever. All the other bars have a QR code that links you to a pre-filled form where you enter your name and phone number.

I *think* I gave them away... but I'll check tomorrow when I get home. I'm not sure what the drink-by date would be, but I think it was over a year ago when I bought them.
