Ballast Point/Brewdog Collab Releases in September
The Ballast Point/Brewdog collaboration is finally going to see the light of day. Almost a year ago (November 11, 2011),folks from Ballast Point Brewing (San Diego, CA) jumped the pond to Scotland and created San Diego Scotch Ale. The group soaked raisins in Ballast Point’s Three Sheets Rum. Then they aged it in a scotch whiskey barrel.
Look for bottles to be released in the Brewdog store in September, 2012.
