flying dog raging bitch
a belgian IPA(!) at Beer'd. 8.3% but doesn't taste that strong. Very drinkable and not bitter. A very interesting beer, I would be interested in trying to make something like this. It was my first visit to Beer'd and I was quite impressed. They sell thirds of pints so easily able to sample a few beers.
I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I also keep handy.

Of course it does. Nothing wrong with copying, they have even aped the artwork quite well, but claiming it as original is dull and wrong.alikocho wrote:RogerP wrote:Blatan copy of a Belgin beer, see viewtopic.php?f=2&t=122&p=509&hilit=Bitch#p509 for details
And does that matter?
Fairly typical of some developing countries :-)
Re: flying dog raging bitch
Where do Flying Dog ever claim that they were the original producers of this sort of beer? And is it even a clone? In any event, it's there beer and they can brew what they like.RogerP wrote:Of course it does.

As to the artwork, the Raging Bitch packaging is in step with the rest of Flying Dog's Gonzo inspired portfolio.
I think you're making an issue out of something that needn't be an issue. And which is frankly irrelevant to the quality of the beer in the bottle.

Re: flying dog raging bitch
They've been doing better on the beer front lately. Was getting annoyed with the 6-8 hand pumps filled with 3 Bath Ales beers and one cider.steve crawshaw wrote:a belgian IPA(!) at Beer'd. 8.3% but doesn't taste that strong.

They had a Tiny Rebel IPA on Saturday which was good. I tweeted about it and someone replied that Beerd were the only place in Bristol worth visiting for "craft" beer. It annoyed me quite a lot.
They really could do with some staff that know at least something about beer.

Re: flying dog raging bitch
I took an ilkley pale ale back because it tasted tainted. It was quite obvious to me and my mate. The "manager" rebutted this, but did offer me a replacement. He implied that it was the "flowery" taste I was objecting to. I accept that taste is subjective and not everyone can detect certain tastes, but I was surprised that something this obvious could be missed by someone running a "craft" beer bar.BlueGiantSteve wrote: They really could do with some staff that know at least something about beer.
I still think its a good place though.

Re: flying dog raging bitch
Agreed. I live 5 minutes away and go there regularly. Pizza is good too. I just wish they'd stuck to calling themselves a bar instead of a "craft beer" bar because they're going to be put to shame by BrewDog and Euston/Bristol Tap (and already are to an extent by Robin Hood, Coslton Yard, Tuns etc on the beer front).
