Brewdog Trashy Blonde U.S. Bound

Brewdog’s Trashy Blonde will jump the pond soon.  This punky pale ale hasn’t been offering in the United States ever before.

A titillating, neurotic, peroxide, punk of a pale ale. Combining attitude, style substance and a little bit of low self Continue Reading →

Brewdog Trashy Blonde U.S. Bound

Brewdog’s Trashy Blonde will jump the pond soon.  This punky pale ale hasn’t been offering in the United States ever before.

A titillating, neurotic, peroxide, punk of a pale ale. Combining attitude, style substance and a little bit of low self esteem for good measure; what would your mother say?

You really should just leave it alone…

…but you just cant get the compulsive malt body and gorgeous dirty blonde colour out of your head. The seductive lure of the sassy passion fruit hop proves too much to resist. All that is even before we get onto the fact that there are no additives preservatives, pasteurization or strings attached.

All wrapped up with the customary Brewdog bite and imaginative twist. This trashy blonde is going to get you into a lot of trouble.

Style: English Pale Ale
Availability: 12oz bottles
Arrival Stateside: TBA

4.1% ABV

Ballast Point Brews Up Brewdog Collaboration

Ballast Point Brewing mentioned being in Scotland on Facebook.  Beer geeks smell a collaboration.  And they are right!

Perhaps an imperial scotch ale with raisins that have been soaked in Ballast Point Three sheets Rum…..aged in a Scotch Barrel….so the answer is yes.

Three Sheets Rum is made by fermenting organic evaporated cane sugar, which is best known as raw unrefined sugar. It is fermented by our proprietary yeast strain and distilled through our custom built hybrid pot/column still.

Brewdog’s 2012 Expansion, New Estate Beer

Thanks to the support of Equity For Punks,  2012 will see a new brewery for Brewdog, plus new craft beer bars

Plans for a  £6.5million ($10 million) – low carbon brewing facility in Aberdeenshire have been submitted to the UK planning commision- £1.5m ($2.3 million U.S.) coming  from beer drinkers across the world.

Brewdog has grown over 200% in 2011, with demand on their beer rising.  Contact brewing for these punks is not an option.

The brewery will be 8 miles down the road from the proposed site at  Balmacassie instead of Pottorton.  The costs to make the  Pottorton site were millions more and 2 more years of prep.  Balmacassie has the utilities in place, (plus room to grow) allowing the new brewery to be functional by October, 2012.

About The New  Brewery:  Will be energy efficient (heat recovery system, grey water treatment, etc.)  10 new 400 HL (340 barrel) fermenters will be added to Brewdog’s existing 27, for a grand total of 37 fermenters.  There is room for many more.  A new bottling line will be added.  The Pottorton land is owned by Brewdog, and will be used to grow their own malt.

Capacity: Intial Capacity = 100,000 HL (85, 216 barrels) annually. Expandable to 500,000 HL (426,080 barrels) annually.

NEW BEER ANNOUNCEMENT! Soft fruits will be grown at Potterton for a new yearly “Estate” beer release.

Jobs: 25 added intially. 75 over time

Craft Beer Bars: BrewDog Newcastle will be at 16 Dean Street.  Work to begin soon.  Brewdog Camden will be open by 12/10/11. Those will join Brewdog Aberdeen, Brewdog Edinburgh, Brewdog Glasgow. A cash infusion of £1m ($1.5 mil US) into the bars will occur in 2012.

All this is made possible by Equity for Punks investments.
For those who still want to invest, visit www.brewdog.com/equityforpunks to buy part of BrewDog from £95

Sea Buckthorn, Beach Salt, Rum. Fermented Underwater

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away  (Scotland) there was a fisherman with a wife who was a witch.  The man would go fishing each day, and the witchy wife would cast a spell so the husband would catch more fish.  However, he wasn’t fishing, he was drunk in a boat.  This pissed off the wife, so she cursed the shoreline.  Huge storm. Fisherman husband died. Now, you through a beer bottle into the ocean to break the curse.  Enter Brewdog.

The first IPA fermented under the ocean.  The brewing pair of Watt & Dickie used sea buckthorn, ocean salt, and of course – rum.  Then 2 fermenters, thrown into the ocean.  It’s so cold an ale yeast won’t work, they had to use a lager yeast.  Don’t believe me? Check out Sunk Punk, the video.
