Same experience yesterday flying LHR-MAD in CE on the 777. I was told that the Speedbird 100 IPA is for ET passengers not CE passengers and that I could have a can only if I paid £4.45. The same applied to another IPA, Curious Session IPA. Only Heineken and St Austell Tribute were free of charge in CE.

I flew LHR to ATL yesterday in F and had my first sample of Air Craft. Crew were unaware it even existed ("no we only have Speedbird") until I asked them to go and check, and sure enough, they had it.
Pleased to have finally tried it (and photographed the bottle, obviously) but I think I prefer the Speedbird.

2x cans loaded in the CE drinks cart to IST last week.
Suffice to say they were both gone by row 3.
Not sure how it works but if they're loaded in the BoB cart but not in the CE cart, can they not be 'procured' for CE or does this screw the BoB inventories and reconciling up?

It is available, complimentary, in CE. The crew were incorrect.
Please feed this back to BA, make them aware crew are still wrongly informing passengers about availability.

I'd guess that no Speedbird IPA is loaded into the CE bars in some cases. That's why passengers are being told it's not available. It's available in the BoB bars... but the staff won't have the authority to raid that with going through no end of paperwork to explain why the figures don't tally.

I spotted some (not many, no exact count taken!) in the T5 Flounge yesterday around 8.00am, in the fridges under the main bar.
They were on the top shelf to the right of the Punk IPA - I would not be surprised to find they did not survive the morning let alone the day...

It's still available on the BrewDog website if you need to order some in... It was quite amusing that people were selling it for £10 a can on Ebay, when you can get it for £2.30 direct from the brewer!

Apologies for the size of screenshot. I can't figure out how to resize it.
