Brew Dog's New Release


Brew Dog, the UK's most experimental brewery, located on an industrial estate along the northeast coastline of Aberdeenshire, has produced a couple of the worlds strongest beers.

Available in limited release by the bottle

Sink The Bismark, 41% abv $105.99

An response to a few German brewers producing 40% IPAs, Brew Dog have created this quadruple IPA, containing four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% abv.

A full blown attack on your taste-buds of malt, sweet honey, hop oils lead to long lasting charge of hoppy bitterness on the finish.

Tactical Nuclear Penguin, 32% abv $78.99

An imperial stout that has been double barrel aged for 14 months in ex-Scottish whisky casks. After which it is frozen 3 times over.

Like a fine Scotch but delivered in a very different manner, hints of toffee and smoke on the nose with a complex palate of dried fruit, figs and raisins, then developing into flavor reminiscent of smoked meats.
