Brewdog re-releases ‘Bourbon Baby’ Scotch ale

The Scottish brewer originally released the beer - which was first brewed as an experiment to determine how lower ABV session ales develop in cask - back in 2014.

BrewDog recently polled customers about their favourite previous BrewDog beers with an eye on revisiting them - and Bourbon Baby coming in as the 6th most popular.

The beer went on tap at BrewDog’s bars across the country on Thursday (9 June) after a surprise announcement on the company’s blog. It is also available from their online store.

Fans​

BrewDog said: “This particular beer has so many fans that it consistently polled near the top of our #ReBrewDog online ballot. For that reason alone, it is high time that Bourbon Baby’s legion of admirers have the chance to get reacquainted with our baby Scotch Ale.

“Expect a fusillade of vanilla, spiced fruit and oaky, woody notes interplaying with deeply resonant chocolate and a cinder toffee backdrop. And all of that comes in at under 6% ABV.”

45 minutes until this hits the main stage at our UK bars.

Earlier this month, Brewdog announced the inception of its own ‘beer school’​ - ninety minute courses across its UK bars that will be hosted by Ciceron-trained BrewDog bar staff and will focus on developing tasting notes and matching beer and food.

Warned​

In late May, the company was warned it may face legal action from Wolverhampton Wanderers​ football club over the branding of its new spirits arm Lone Wolf.

The club said it was ‘furious’ when the branding was unveiled – arguing it was too similar to its own badge and would ‘confuse’ fans. BrewDog abstained from commenting on the matter.
