Brewery and twitter account. Leith, laugh, love. It’s probably just a joke.
Here’s something interesting that isn’t even about Twitter for once. We bagged our brewkit from Fountainbridge nearly 15 years ago, and now we’ve brewed a Scotch Export using a historic yeast strain from, wink wink nudge nudge, another Fountainbridge brewery.

To explain this with a brewing analogy, it’s like if Tim Davie was in a brewery and the brewery was full of nothing but nazis and sex offenders and yet he decided to stay in the brewery to try to get the nazis and sex offenders to watch Countryfile for some reason.

Good news everyone, our LinkedIn Year In Review is in! Tbh it’s mostly just all the times we left crying laughing emojis under one of James Watt’s great bits of banter.

It's a niche interest so by way of background, after a period of phenomenal success a few years back they've been in the doldrums for a good while. With a dwindling fanbase dining out on past glories while facing a seemingly irreversible decline, Brewdog are a brewery based in Ellon, Aberdeeenshire.

Decided it would be a good idea if we added something to the frontage that told people what Vessel actually is. Please send us the business and marketing awards now.

You could also be the 26th Tripadvisor review (the eagle-eyed amongst you will note that's also at 4.9) but that does seem slightly less of a milestone tbf.

Back in 2017 we brewed a Dark Mild with our (genuine, not made up for social media) friend Tim at Fell. Now he’s up here and we’re brewing exactly the same beer again, just because we fancy it. So that’s nice.

We’ll do the good news first. We’ve made a big west coast IPA and it’s a proper westie. Bitter, sweet, piney.
The bad news? Look we’re not saying we’re phoning it in but we’ve called it Big Westie and this is the can.
Buy it here if you must: pilotbeer.co.uk/collections/...

Seems like this has died on its arse then. What a massive waste of time and money. If only there was somewhere we could report that to.

The main reason we stopped fining our beers back in 2014 is so that whenever we see Farage gurning over a pint of something crystal clear we can be reasonably certain it isn’t one of ours.

Funnily enough after posting another of our trademark hilarious tweets we actually did win this. Which is nice.

100% swear this is not a bit. We made up the bit about Clarks Wallabees on a cheap assumption, posted that then just googled this...

Look at this, we're launching a beer to celebrate 30 years of The Stand comedy club. It's called Wit, which is a very clever joke because that is both a kind of beer and a sort of humour or something. The name Ho-ho-gaarden was rejected on the grounds of copyright infringement.
