RobWalker said:Apparently CAMRA don't like brewdog - our beer has the yeast killed off and is served cold and under pressure from an external source, which is against how they define real ale - a live product served by its own pressure. or something.
Head office won't like you saying that...
They certainly used to claim (or did during the fight about the GBBF a couple of years back) that it isn't killed, just filtered bright (so still meets the live cell count threshold) and the carbonation is natural (as the entire process is conducted in vessels pressurised by the fermentation) right through to the keg, the CO2 at service being only to maintain pressure...

Brewdog said:During the course of the discussion we were able to satisfy CAMRA and Ralph Warrington, Chair of the wonderfully named âTechnical Advisory Groupâ that our draft beer does indeed contain 0.1 million living yeast cells per ml. Our kegged and bottled beers are only lightly filtered (around 5-7 micron), unpasteurized and the bulk of the carbonationisation comes from CO2 created during the initial fermentation which occurs under pressure. - See more at: http://www.brewdog.com/blog-article/cam ... 8nmVq.dpuf
