Found this on Reddit; £19 roast from Brewdog pub in London:

I don’t know what they got for that effort but I hope it’s 5-7 years.

f*** me that's awful.

I don't tend to eat roasts out as they're not as good as what you can do at home. Found an exception though.

The Roundhill in Brighton, absolutely incredible vegan roast dinner.

Beers not too pricey either.

Is it vegan only? Might give it a look if they do a traditional with meat.
Vegan only but absolutely delicious. I had maple and mustard glazed seitan which was amazing.

Also won best roast dinner in Brighton last year even against meat options.

You forgot Double Diamond and Worthington E .
Have just been trawling back through this thread and as a point of interest, I can remember Worthington E being available, in northern parts of the old Bass empire , as a cask beer. From memory, I think it was similar to draught Bass, but without dried hops being added to the cask last thing as was the case with Bass. This was in the early ‘70’s.

Initial investment must be paying off?
i invested in the 2nd round, and and depending on what source you use, is worth between 20 and 60 times it’s original value. I’m now waiting for the IPO to cash-out.….I’ll know the true value then.

i have not bothered looking at the share price for some time though.

I definitely remember it being a keg beer at the start of my serious drinking aged 17 in 1977...that coincided with the rise and almost complete takeover by keg beers.

I fondly recall going in to boozers ordering up my fizzy keg beer or newly brewed under licence lager ( Hofmiester, Holstien, Fosters, Hurlimans ) and there was still bottles of Brown, Pale ,Light and Mild on the shelves.

Yes, you are right re the keg beer push and, of course, the lager revolution.
I joined Bass in 1973 and it was during part of my induction that I saw the cask Worthington E in the Burton on Trent Brewery and coming from the south of the country, I had never seen cask E, only the keg version.
There was a wonderful old sampling room in those days with many of the cask ales they brewed racked up in small barrels all round the room, which was really a cellar. Ale was served to us graduates straight from the cask in copious quantities. I can also recall my first interview when the chap interviewing me asked me whether I would like a drink. I said yes please, and instead of tea or coffee being offered, out came a bottle of Carling.
Happy days!

I’m an investor in EFP1 & 2. The last trading day was disappointing as the asset match price was only ~£6.50. But early investors only paid 46p so not a disaster.

I’m holding out for IPO too. I think that will be closer to the £25 mark. Assuming that paying out the Private Equity Investment doesn’t wipe out all the value.

I sold a few hundred of EFP2 shares for £16 odd, thanks to HT many years ago for a tip off on the raise. Still hold 400 which I’ll wait for the IPO, but the TSG guarantee is looking a bit scary to me. The benefits alone have paid out a huge amounts
