Weird beer… Great, great, absolutely great taste...
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Collaboration brew with Stillwater Artisanal Ales (USA). Crowned last week with a golden Award for Best newcomer in the world 2011.This Belgian Strong Ale was married to a still young but powerful style, the Black IPA. You’ll discover a smooth chocolate like strong ale together with the high & bitter hop schedule of an IPA, and you get a great result…
-
BrewdogAberdeen collab, Black Rocker:
Smoked black rye ale, very smooth…
Last night before I became truly drunk, one of the extremely kind bar staff let me try a taste of Tactical Nuclear Penguin
Extremely nice is all I can remember, I'll have to refresh my memory later.
-
BrewdogBirmingham & Lovibonds collab, happy endings:
Lemongrass and Ginger wheat beer… Refreshing...
-
Growing envy for your Brewdog experience MorP. Beer in the UK really does not get better than that.
-
Trons planning a family visit to Belgium before Christmas maybe…....oh shiiiiiiiiit.
-
Well, it all ends tomorrow :(. Back to Cheshire… I'll just have to call in at the Manchester bar on the way back :).
I have certainly never encountered friendlier or more helpful bar staff...
-
They are great dude, if you ever feel like a trip to the Nottingham Brewdog just give me a shout.
-
We'll confirm the trip and I'll get back to you man, sure I can fly solo for a couple of hours. It will more than likely be Brugge though, the wife loves really old Flemish Art (that is not even a joke).
-
That's very tempting Mega… I'll let you know, not sure whether it'll be this year or next, but it's been probably 13 years since I last went to Nottingham.
And to keep this vaguely on topic:
The frighteningly tasty 0.5% Nanny State, hoppy imperial mild I've started to use as a palate cleanser/ way to pace myself for the inevitable increase up to 32% to round off the evening…
-
I'll get back to you
-
Looking forward to it MorP.
BTW, I have actually discovered a beer store today with an okay selection of Belgian beers and it is a half hour drive out of Mansfield and into the rather pretty castle town of Newark.

The prices are obviously ridiculous but I am going to check it out on Friday with a quick trip to Newark with the family. I will provide pictures of the pretty scenery inside the shop, and might even take a snap of the castle too.
-
It may not look like much but:
Tactical Nuclear Penguin is certainly one of the best beers I have tried…
More in the line of a spirit than a beer, quadruple IPA that has been frozen several times, which means that the ABV tops out at 32%. At one time this was the strongest beer ever brewed. Until it was overtaken by 'Sink the Bismark': 41% and:
'The End of History' the beer that came housed in it's own taxidermist squirrel. The Brewdog Camden squirrel is apparently named Stephen :D. 50% ABV. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to try any :(.
-
The Sheffield Brewdog still has a bottle intact and for sale at £10'000.
-
After checking with the staff here, that sounds about right. I was under the impression that when it was released it was £75.00 and fairly available. Apparently there were only 12 ever made and the price was in the mid 100's of pounds :(.
To finish off the evening:
Woodford Reserve (my preferred Bourbon at the moment) and a bottle of Abstrakt 12. An IPA brewed with various berries. 11.7%. To take away.
-
Slightly better daytime pic of Stephen; yes I'm back in Brewdog Camden, last visit… I have to get back to Cheshire later. Decided to stop here for lunch :).
1/2 of Dead Pony Club…
Might buy one more bottle as another souvenir, not decided which yet...
-
Did they have any Tokyo left? Great beer.
Adam, what were your thoughts?
-
No, they didn't have any of the Tokyo* left :(. Got hold of a Stone: Old Guardian, oak smoked instead…
