    Sweet babby Jesus that sounds unreal.

    I need to go to Smoak. It sounds very me.

    The Doghouse one is a 1/4lb of pulled pork, 1/4 of beef brisket and 1/2lb of ribs (I think, it's a pound over all, it might be 1/2lb of brisket instead of ribs) and it's absolutely superb. I'm really fussy about ribs but these ones aren't just a load of bones with thin meat and too much fat around.

    Add the beer as well and it's just a dream.

    I'm not sure where they are now. It was Pivo Pivo when I went but that's now an Irish bar, and they've done a few popups but I'm not sure whether they've found a home or not.

    The brisket was perhaps slightly too melt in the mouth but still incredible, but the burnt ends were the best part. Even with the burger and barbecue revolution in full swing there still aren't enough places doing those.

    Smoak have opened their own place in Royal Exchange Square.

    Yep, that Trinity is unreal Ian

    Smokehouse (hope everyone's keeping up with these unique names) also doesn't some pretty great burnt ends but not on a par.

    Need some of those here. There's only a couple and the good one (Bison) is nigh on impossible to get into as they don't take bookings. And the other (My Meat Wagon) disappeared up its own hipster arse a long time ago.
    Is Smoak a proper chain?

    Nah. Independent place, one of the first street food type places in Glasgow that sprung up about 5 years ago. Spent their time hitting festivals and taking over kitchens of pubs (as John mentioned). They then got in tow with a New York style brunch place and took over their kitchen for a bit (think they might still be there) before opening their own shop.

    Quite a few smaller places opened last few years. Tends to be one in Glasgow, then one in the West End and then one in Edinburgh.

    I find the flavour to be too strong for my liking. But I'm really soft when it comes to proper booze.

    Yea I'd be the same with whiskey and all that. If it was a thing that was going to have a really strong alcohol taste then I'll wrap it up and pass it on.

    Yeah, IIRC it's illegal to use vouchers for alcohol for some reason.

    It sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't know if Chouffe is some kind of generic Belgian term. Is it very strong or is he just accustomed to West End Draft or something?

    I think I've had a bottle and it was lethal. I'm off to Brussels now for some more of the stuff so I'll try and report back.

    In fairness to him, Belgian beer is traditionally regarded as the best beer in Europe.

    Pretty decent as I recall. Nothing spectacular that I'd necessarily rush back for but it was nice.

    I prefer Czech myself, but Belgium definitely has the best longstanding reputation. it's one of the first places mentioned in relation to beer.

    I did read they had more breweries per person than any country in the world. Its weird, you never hear much about French beer and Dutch beer is mostly just Heineken.

    Amstel is decent for a standard.

    I remember I hit 18 and thought I was posh drinking a Kronenbourg.

    Czech or German for me due to the oft mentioned love affair with Pilsner.

    I still really like Kronenbourg. Probably my favourite of the mainstream lagers you get in pubs.

    I find it really difficult to distinguish between most of them. Obviously Carling tastes like a teenager's saliva after he's just kissed a girl with acne and terrible breath, but that aside I'd fail a taste test on any of them I think.

    The biggest problem with lager in pubs these days is that 90% of places are Weatherspoons with watered down beer and pipes that haven't been cleaned in a decade.

    The beer's pretty good too (Belgian). Tastes a bit like Hoegaarden.

    La Chouffe, discussed earlier, is pretty good. I think it's from one of the oldest breweries in Belgium (if I remember correctly).

    Been meaning to get myself one of them (or the horn one from Amazon). Got this set last year and they're nice, though thin as fuck.

    No hangover today after finishing off a 750ml bottle of the Belgium booze which was on the back end of a dog park IIPA session. It definitely is clean drinking
