Last year in Orange, we started releasing a BrewDog collaborations. Over the past few months, we've featured BrewDog Isle of Arran Paradox and BrewDog Springbank Paradox. BrewDog has been producing Paradox, its whisky cask aged stout, since it launched in 2007. The stout quickly built a strong reputation for itself among beer lovers and industry experts alike.
Next, we feature a beer we love -- don't worry, more collabs to come later:
January 31, 2012 @ 6 pm (Old Towne Orange location): BrewDog Tokyo
ABV:18.2% | OG:1140 | IBU’s:90
Malts: Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt, Roast Barley
Hops: Galena
Twist: Brewed with Jasmine and Cranberries. Dry-Hopped then aged on oak chips.
"The irony of existentialism, the parody of being and the inherent contradictions of post-modernism, all so delicately conveyed by the blocky, pixelated arcade action have all been painstakingly recreated in this bottles contents. This imperial stout is brewed with copious amounts of speciality malts, jasmine and cranberries. After fermentation we then dry-hop this killer stout with a bucketload of our favourite hops before carefully ageing the beer on French toasted oak chips. It is all about moderation. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself. What logically follows is that you must, from time, have excess. This beer is for those times."
Come and get it while we've got it. When it's gone, it's gone, but stay tuned for:
Date TBD: BrewDog Smokehead Paradox -- This brew is the result of a collaboration with Smokehead, Ian Macleod Distiller's Single Islay malt Whisky. One of the most celebrated Paradox stouts! If you're not familiar, Smokehead is a fantastic single malt whisky packaged with a real edge!
Date TBD: BrewDog Mikkeller Devine Rebel -- According to legend, two of Europe's most experimental, boundry pushing brewers - BrewDog and Mikkeller - combined forces to produce a rebellious beer that combined their respective talents and brewing skills. The 12.5% Barley Wine fermented well, the champagne yeast drew it ever closer to 12.5%. The beer was brewed with a single hop variety and was going to be partially aged in oak casks.
