Brew Dog extravaganza at Draught House Thursday
Assuming you’re not with the whole rest of the world standing outside La Zona Rosa trying to see John Hiatt, Ray Davies and Roky Erickson with Okkervill River Thursday night, our man Josh Wilson at the Draught House Pub & Brewery has an unbeatable deal: A Brew Dog tasting with a half-dozen or more beers, each one crazier than the last, and snacks provided. Stop by for a $25 ticket in advance because this one looks to sell out. The lineup from Wilson:
BrewDog Zeitgeist Black Lager.
4.9% ABV 30 IBU’s
Malts Lager Malt, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Chocolate Malt
Hops Cascade
Zeitgeist does not presume to tell you how it will affect your senses, the experience is yours to define! At the invisible insurrection of the Zeitgeist it was written that the black liquid delivered at once tinges of roast malt and overripe autumnal fruit before revealing its true dark lager credentials with a clean crisp and refreshing finish.
BrewDog Punk IPA.
6% ABV 65 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hops Chinook Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin
An inherently contradictory take on a classic style. This is a light golden colour with tropical fruits and a light caramel on the nose. The Palate soon becomes assertive and resinous with the NZ hops balanced by biscuit malt. The finish is aggressive and dry with the hops emerging over the warming alcohol.
BrewDog Dogma Scottish Ale.
7.8% ABV 65 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale, Caramalt, roasted barley, Dark Krystal Malt, Munich Malt
Hops Bramling Cross, Amarillo
Brewed with Scottish Heather Honey, Poppy Seed, Kola Nut and Guarana.
A conspiracy of transcontinental ingredients infused with some devastatingly BrewDog imaginative thinking.
BrewDog Bashah Black Belgian Double IPA.
8.5% ABV 90 IBU’s
Malt Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt
Hops Hercules Warrior, Amarillo, Centenial
Bashah - Black as Sin Hoppy as Hell. The latest collaboration between BrewDog and the Stone Brewing Co from California. Made at BrewDog in Scotland this is a nice amalgamated cocktail of cocoa, sweetened clove, crème caramel with little spikes of lime freshness.
BrewDog Hardcore IPA
9% ABV 100 IBU’s
Malts Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hops Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo and Warrior
This Golden Imperial Ale rocks! A delicately robust malt toffee canvas is the setting for the ensuing epic. The aromatic kiwi, lychee, pine and big hop flavours kink in and leave your mouth punished and puckering for more. The addictive underlying sweet caramel and full bodied, dry finish ensure you can’t put it down for long.
BrewDog Paradox
10% ABV 70 IBU’s
Malts, Marris Otter, Dark Crystal, Caramalt, Chocolate Malt Roast Barley
Hops Galena, Bramling Cross
Paradox see’s our killer Imperial Stout aged in amazing malt whisky casks from some of Scotland’s most famous distilleries.
The flavours, aromas and intricacies of the whisky are beautifully infused deep into the soul of our smooth, robust base beer.
Isle of Arran is charactised by dark bitter chocolate and autumnal fruits.
Smokehead is a demonic rollercoaster of a beer with smoke, sea salt and oak pulling you ever closer to the dark side.
Tokyo is brewed with jasmine and cranberries as well as a large amount of malts and the finest American hops, was fermented by a skilled team of brewers with a champagne yeast to enable the high ABV. The beer was then dry hopped before being aged on toasted French vanilla oak chips to give it an entirely unique flavour.
