Here’s a story about a brewery, a pub regular, a homebrew collaboration, and a kindly English grandfather.
Actually the Cliffnotes version: 21st Amendment is brewing Imperial Jack, an ESB, using a recipe they’ve collaborated with a pub regular/ homebrewer Richard Brewer-Hay. The brew was originally called Grandpa Jack in honor of Richards’s late grandfather, both of whom are from England. Richard and 21st Amendment’s Shaun O’Sullivan came together to make a stronger version, Imperial Jack, and will be traveling back to England together to brew it.

Cigar City Brewing (Tampa, FL) are headed to Denmark next month to collaborate with Amager Bryghus. If you look at Amager’s lineup, you can be sure that the result will be a pretty dark beer.
In honor of this meet up, the brewery will be tapping Papsø’s Passion Fruit Porter. 6% ABV beer brewed passion fruit as a nod to Henrik Papso. Henrik is the “inside” guy at the brewery that obtains certain special ingredients over there. A bit like Morgan Freeman in The Shawshank Redemption.
Cigar City has been pretty busy with collaborations too. Recent ones include:
Meet Lemongrass Saison, Maui Brewing’s collaboration with Lost Abbey using 150 lbs of 100% local Maui raised lemongrass. Around 500 barrels were produced and all of Maui’s distribution area should be seeing it in cans and maybe even on draft. According to Maui, the beer pairs well with “chilling outdoors with friends,” which of course is the best pairing of all.
