Get ready to set your DVRs because Brew Dog is coming to town. Brew Dog, UK’s fastest growing brewery, has sent their two owners, James Watt and Martin Dickie, to the US to prove that mass produced macro beers aren’t the best thing in our fair country. They’ll be traveling from city to city exploring the craft beers that inhabit them plus they’ll be creating a locally inspired draft in each. Look for it this September on the Esquire Network.
We are going to have to sit down and think about all the breweries that are starting to distill their own spirits, alongside brewing beer. Scottish brewer BrewDog is the latest to do so, and this time the spirit is created from beer. Watt Dickie (named for the brewery founders), is a 35% ice distilled beer, that is in a category of it’s own.
The brewery calls Watt Dickie a “bastard love child of the process that goes into making Tactical Nuclear Penguin, Sink the Bizmarck, and The End of History all exceeding 30% ABV. To obtain such high levels, BrewDog freezes off excess water leaving the alcohol behind. The base beer is an “insanely amplified” IPA that undergoes a patent pending freezing alchemy to create the final product.
It is meant to be enjoyed as a spirit. Drink it on the rocks or neat, your choice.
Three European brewing superpowers combine forces (and three of their own amazing beers) to create Black Tokyo Horizon. This massive stout’s constituents: Mikkeller Black, Nogne-O Dark Horizon, and BrewDog Tokyo. Not every state will see this one, thanks to it’s 16% ABV.
This collaborative beer was created when the paths of Mikkeller, Nogne-0, and BrewDog merged. It is an equal combination of ideas and inspiration extracted from each brewery’s respective huge stouts…
Style: Imperial Stout (Blend of 3 other beers)
Availability: 11.2oz bottles
Arrival: TBA
16% ABV
Interesting quote from James Watt, Brewdog founder in Marketing UK today. Especially relevant on the eve (ish) of the Super Bowl – the big time when it comes to traditional marketing. When asked if he would be creating advertising to compete with big brewers, he replied:
‘I would rather take my money and set fire to it,’ he added. ‘It’s the antithesis of everything we stand for and everything we believe in. It’s a medium that is shallow, it’s fake and we want nothing to do with it.’
So, no Super Bowl Ads coming soon for Brewdog. [MarketingUK]
In response to the continual sidelining of women in the craft beer industry, the ladies of Brewdog decided to take matters into their own hands. On January 28th only the women staff will be locking themselves in and brewing a beer “worthy of any BrewDog tap … a secret recipe for a beer we’d love to drink”
The ladies of Brewdog, or #BrewBirds, have decided to make 2013 the year women begin to take the helms of craft brewing.
“We are tired of being told that our beverage of choice is not for us, of being offered a mediocre wheat beer with a slice of orange when we ask at the bar what beer they’d recommend.” Preach ladies!

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.
