A little bit early to do the last post of the month, but Monday is Koninginnendag, Queens Day, and a national holiday, so I won’t be blogging then. This month was the first time, well, two times to be honest, that I received orders from Brewdog. In them were all kinds of highly limited bottles and shareholder only brews, so expect those below.

Rasputin Bruichladdich Barrel Aged – De Molen
I had this one before, but it is just do damn good, I cannot recommend it enough. Just get some and try some!

Weer & Wind – De Molen
A small bottle with a massive punch. This barleywine does what I expect one to do. Give me a buzz after 25cl.

London Stout – Cocky Rooster Brewing
My own brew. I’m very satisfied with this batch. The one that is most drinkable so far. The others are improving with age, like this one but I already like it a lot.

Lost Dog – BrewDog/Lost Abbey
The first rum cask aged beer I actually like and isn’t too sweet. It gets more interesting as you empty your glass as it has to open up.

Hops Kills Nazis – BrewDog
The best red ale I’ve had so far.

Anarchist/Alchemist – BrewDog
Triple IPA? I don’t know what it means but it packs a mean punch. The IPA style reminds me of Great Divide’s but with a weird little BrewDog twist. There is some underlying sweetness here.

Nero – De Bierfabriek
Good beer, not overly spectacular, but very good. And the fact that they brew it at the restaurant helps too.

Abstrakt 08 – BrewDog
Deconstructed Imperial Stout. All flavours are there, built up from different parts than a regular stout, which makes it just a little different. Well, quite a bit different, actually.

A BrewDog heavy month, but not without reason. They are one of the most consistent high quality ‘craft’ breweries out there, and together with De Molen and Great Divide my absolute favourites. Too bad it’s of no use promoting the Equity for Punks program anymore…
