Why "dog"?
euphemism for off to the pub: I am going to take the dog for a walk love/see a man about a dog pet
Why "dog"?
I have a vague recollection from my youth that certain concrete lampposts had a metal cover with a recess that could be used as a bottle opener ... or am I just imagining it?

The air con vents of a turbostar/electrostar work well for opening a bottle of beer. So I'm toldAnd don't try to open them on the luggage rack of a class 158 (as you can with a sharp-edged table by hooking the edge of the cap on and whacking the top), as if you do you'll look an idiot stood there with a smashed bottle and a load of glass slivers in your beer.
The USA now has a lot more microbrews IPAs in cans.

Bit like New World especially Californian Red Wines. The style is “in your face”The Yankee special: Brown Lager
( there are some good ones but many are quite generic and seem to go for HOPS punching you in the face over any kind of actual taste )
Fraught, bottled then can. However cans are lighter and easier to carry. The USA now has a lot more microbrews IPAs in cans. I will post a few pics if I get chance.
Yes fraught with danger! LOL Corrected now.I don't like the sound of fraught beer, does it cause anxiety?
A passenger infront was very impressed when I did it on a SE 375/9!I've seen that done, though I forget when. They do have the "lip" I was talking about.
Agreed especially American styleseen people open bottles with their teeth , ouch . Prefer cans as lighter ,take up less space .Though got to be cold though

It went viral as the "Southern Fail life hack" during the strikes I believe.
At the end of the day beer tastes better out of the barrel. I've always looked upon these craft beers with suspicion. By calling it a stupid name,packaging if in a garish coloured can and flogging it to people that think Bass is a swear word seems a gimmick. The trouble is that it's catching on and even regional and national brewers are latching onto the trend for "posh keg" beers.
Don't come down here then. You get charged silly prices no matter if it's craft or not!And charging silly prices for them.

My last beer purchase was 38 pound for a 16 pack. Admittedly it was the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show's bush fire fundraiser beer.
Even If I buy bog standard 24 pack of whatever it's 25 pound.
Seen it done many a time. Not being a smoker myself I've never personally used that method.Apparently you can use a lighter
Do you heat the cap until it expands enough to come off?Apparently you can use a lighter
You should be buying Brewdog in cans and saving the empties for a free share. 50 cans for one share, which gives you bar and shop discounts.

You shouldnt buy brew dog. Buy proper beer
Please explain why BrewDog is not "proper" beer.
It isn't real ale. It is brown lager brewed for hoxton hipsters with no idea.
It is all style and no substance: the virgin trains of the beer world if you will
Not at all, there's a huge variety of it. If you were going to use "it's nitrokeg" as a reason, it's long been the case that nitrokeg is the favoured method of delivery in Scotland; handpumps are more popular in England and Wales.
It might not appeal to your "anti-pretension", but that's purely the image, not anything to do with the quality of the actual beer.

Crikey, to think that ale nearly died out in the late 1990s and you're worried about Brewdog.
Cloudwater and Fourpure are better examples of great craft breweries that have emerged in recent years. Their stuff knocks the spots off some of the murky brown twig-water found in certain stickier-carpeted establishments.
There's room for all styles. Horses for courses!
Whereas I and anyone sensible knows these breweries knock out trendy cockney hipster muck.
