BrewDog Beer
I didn’t really want to ask but my husband is a BrewDog fan, will we be likely to get the Anniversary BrewDog beer on our flight from London to Miami?

You should do and you may also find it in the lounge.

If the crew tell you they cannot locate the BrewDog, just smile and ask them to dismantle the galley

I really liked it, tried it on recent flights to Vienna and Valencia.
Interestingly the CC told me they get the option to buy it on the ground so they can try it and many have been taking advantage of this!

Agreed. I am not a big beer fan but I loved the BrewDog beer for BA!

Don't they have a special beer just for the F cabin too? Can't wait to try this next week, I am a big Brewdog fan.

A somewhat related point... I thought there's a tap with BrewDog beer in the JFK lounge but couldn't find it on a couple of recent visits. Does it exist? If so, is it in the First section of the lounge (i.e. on the left)?

There's a new bar with two taps on in the refurbed BA biz lounge at JFK.

Yes, called AirCraft. Described by BrewDog thusly:

AirCraft is a dry-hopped Brett-fermented IPA incorporates the rich fruity esters and flavours from Brettanomyces with the notorious tropical hops of the south pacific for a bold but balanced hop experience.
You'll find some discussion in the main thread: Speedbird 100 IPA & Air Craft - Brewdog specials for 100 year celebrations

Seems to polarise opinion more than the generally liked Speedbird, I enjoyed the one I had fwiw. Beware they apparently only carry 2 bottles, so suggest you get your order in sharpish!

Even better, it's actually 4 taps they have on draught (or draft since it's JFK). As mmxbreaks notes it's in the Club lounge, but certainly no-one bothered when I took my glass back to the F part last month. Location was not immediately obvious, my terrible directions would be "go into the Club lounge a little bit, turn left, and it's against the back wall"

I had one the other week ( Aircraft) served in a cut glass tumbler type thing, didn't even get chance to take a piccie of the can / bottle. Wasn't anything particularly remarkable either way to me. I do like Elvis Juice for a fruity brewdog.

I only saw the two beer types is more what I meant? Has it been upped to four different brews?

Side note: if you like the Speedbird 100 a lot (in-flight only, not on the taps) and are a minimal 'shareholder' of BrewDog, you can buy the cans at £2.30ea online: https://www.brewdog.com/speedbird-100

Ah, I see - sorry for misunderstanding - It was certainly 4 different ones at the start of June but certainly can't say if it always so. I had the Elvis Juice. Pretty sure there was Punk IPA there (would be amazed if not, as it's their flagship) and Lost Lager also. Can't recall the 4th one - think it was Clockwork Tangerine.

Since Punk, Elvis and Clockwork are all variations of IPA, 2 distinct types would be a fair way of describing it. Not that I'm at JFK more than one or twice a year on average but maybe they could rotate out one of the IPAs for a Stout/Porter?
