BrewDog shares recipes online for beers yet to be released

This comes following the brewer’s move last month to release DIY Dog, containing every one of its already available beer recipes, to the public.

James Watt, BrewDog founder, said: “BrewDog has its roots in home brewing, which is the cornerstone of the craft beer industry. With DIY Dog – both the first instalment and 2.0 – we’re rallying the community of home brewers across the globe, handing over the keys to our castle.

Legacy​

“By releasing our recipes, we’re shaking up the whole home-brewing scene, converting more people to craft and sharing our legacy and our future with people who love the same thing we do – beer.”

Among the recipes to be released will be ‘redacted collaboration beer’ Ship Wreck​, which BrewDog created with Ballast Point.

Ballast Point was bought by Mexican distributor Constellation Brands for £1bn​, leading BrewDog to renounce their relationship and release the beer under its own brand.

Other beer recipes included in DIY Dog 2.0 will include Ace of Simcoe, and an imperial stout called Dog E, a ‘tiramisu-inspired’ called AB;20, a Berliner Weisse-style beer called Blitz and four beers from BrewDog’s recently unveiled Hammer series; Monk Hammer, Black Hammer, Chili Hammer and Rye Hammer.

Craft​

Watt added: “We stand for everything craft – we champion independent breweries and start-up companies in our bars and our bottle shops, electrifying the whole sector to overthrow bland, mass produced beer from faceless companies.”

Watt has been a vocal critic of large beer manufacturers and distributors purchasing craft breweries, ditching the likes of Camden Town Brewery, Golden Road and Lagunitas when they were bought.  

“Craft beer is enjoying a massive uprising at the moment, with 36 new craft breweries launching in the capital alone in the last year. We are rooting for them all the way and big beer companies should be running scared,” he said.
