This evening’s 1407 had the new menu loaded to trolleys in ET (despite old menus causing no end of confusion to some pax-saw one poor crew member have to say about 5 times that there was no more sipsmith).
Tried the Speedbird IPA- it was decent, not hugely remarkable but definitely not bad. My go to is normally Elvis Juice in Brewdog and it wasn’t dissimilar; but I expect it wouldn’t take much to give you a headache.
at £4.45 I won’t be biting again in a hurry but if a decent IPA is what you fancy you won’t be disappointed IMO.
Love the design of the can too

After a false start, the crew found the AirCraft for
me on our flight. So good I had to have two of them just to make sure it was decent.
If you’re flying soon, do mention to the crew it’s a bottle rather than a can as that makes it easier to find.

nothing on the BA57. They said it’s new but not available yet.

I was in the BrewDog bar in NCL on Saturday and, partly because I was confused as to the start date for the BAEC discount and partly because I didn't realise it was just 5% for BAEC members, I actually managed to get 10% off all my beers there in spite of it only being 27th April.

Not offered in CE LHR-BUD 2nd May
On CityFlyer I believe this will be in both ET and CE. On mainline short haul it will be in CE and also ET BOB. I haven't seen any confirmation regarding long haul but I'd be surprised if it's not available in all classes, given it's a part of the centenary celebrations.

Last night on LHR - DME: Speedbird was listed in the menu in Club, the crew searched for but could not find it (maybe searching for a bottle?). They were apologetic and suggested it only featured on longer flights. Coming back on Monday, will try asking again.

Lovely F crew on DEL-LHR this week weren't even aware of either beer's existence, but had a rummage for me and found one of each - much to their surprise! Very kindly suggested that I probably didn't want to drink them on board (the Aircraft in particular comes in at a hefty half litre) and that I would enjoy them much more at home....

To follow up on my own post, flashing my BAEC card in the mobile app does indeed result in a 10% discount in Brewdog Tower Hill. Bar staff understood as soon as I mentioned it.

Flew LHR to AMS yesterday in CE and it was available, although the crew had to go back into the kitchen to find. I liked it, quite decent, although prefer the beer to be colder than how it was served.

Availability does seem to be a bit patchy. I flew EDI-LHR-IBZ yesterday in CE with the following results.
As others have said not in EDI lounge or T5 GF.
I asked for for it on the EDI-LHR leg and the crew member said he hadn’t heard of it but when he pulled out the bottom draw of his trolley there it was (much to his surprise). I then gave him and the purser a summary of the details!
However, on the LHR-IBZ it wasn’t stocked in CE and the CSM said it was only available to purchase in ET.
Anyhow, back to the beer. I’m not a fan of Punk IPA but I did enjoy the Speedbird had a nice zesty aftertaste.
