Craft beer...yuck. I have some unlabeled Westvleteren I might stick a Speedbird label on and bring take with me.

Glad to have some beer improvements and the F one sounds great.

Also a bar in the JFK T7 lounge is very cool

I am simply not a Brewdog fan, so this is non-news for me.
Dogbolter, though, would make a difference. However, David Bruce is more a Waitrose sort of person, so BA won't pay for it...........

One of our favourits drinking holes from 1979 onwards was the Goose and Firkin.

Very excited by this!

Was fortunate enough to be sat next to James Watt (Brewdog co-founder) on a BA flight last year. I was moaning about the lacklustre beers on offer (IMO) and he did mention that could be changing soon...so I guess he was right!

Nice guy aswell.

I have about 70 bottles of Westvlet 8 & 12s... Liquid assets!

please don't compare them to a BrewDog IPA :-)

Judging by what BA loads in Economy, people still do unfortunately

I’m very excited about this, this is a much bigger improvement to the BA service than Club Suites!

Won't a BrewDog bar in the JFK Club lounge make it more of a destination than the CCR? ><
When does the club lounge refurbished complete?

It will be sad to see the tribute be dropped, especially if you're in WTP and they have to pop to Biz to get you a can. It's a great tie up for sure - I wonder who's idea it was - I can't decide whether many breweries were competing this win / win partnership
And just really pleased it's not Fullers as one of the nearest breweries to Heathrow who have sold out to one of the Japanese Breweries

It's really innovative so well done BA

Westvleteren is a brewery that produces craft beer.

So, I book a CW flight. BA swap my 777 for a 787, then they Avios F available for that flight so I upgrade us. I am, thus far, in a happy place with BA.

then hit me with a special Overworks beer that launches days before I fly so it should be stocked but close enough that they won’t have run out...

pigs in sh*t 😀

Fuller’s (along with Peroni, Meantime and others), is owned by Asahi, who only operate drinks brands and are pretty successful in doing so and respecting what they own.

Brewdog is part- (for now) owned by a California-based venture capital outfit who spread their investments among cosmetics, vitamin and other companies.

Not sure why you think one of these is so much more a case of selling out than the other, to the extent that you are actively “really pleased” not to see their products partnered with an (Anglo-Spanish) airline.
