I use it with a brush all the time even though they only recommend spraying it,just small stuff and you have to be quick because it evaporates so fast.

Testors Model Master metallic work well too.

I tried touching up an error yesterday with brushed alclad. It didn't go over so well. I had to sand it down and use my airbrush. I'd definitely recommend a different silver for standard brushing.

Hmm. Maybe for small bits like pioneer tools on armor. Personally I use Model Master metalizers (even though they're recommended as airbrush only, too) for small bits all the time. But Alclad is a different beast from those. 

If you're trying to do a whole something like an aircraft, no way. Best bet without an airbrush in that case, in my opinion, would be one of the wax-based options, like rub-n-buff or Treasure Gold. There was Tamiya Spit IX at the recent Austin show done in the Treasure Gold stuff and it looked pretty great:
