Love ’em or hate ’em… the staff at outrageous Scottish brewer BrewDog are intent you aren’t going to igmore ’em.
The latest stunt from north of the border is a “terminally hoppy”, 8.5 per cent double IPA that dies in just 35 days… yet is linked to a push for organ donation!
Born To Die 18.08.16 is brewed with a shelf life of just over a month, and dies on the stated date. Each bottle comes with its own organ donor card, which can be ‘popped’ out of a special beer mat, and which includes a link to the official UK organ donation register
Aberdeen-based BrewDog hopes to encourage consumers to sign up to be organ donors as they quaff.
Born to Die features a mass of American hop varieties including cascade, simcoe, amarillo and citra. August.
BrewDog’s shelf-life looks much longer than that of this ale… the brewery’s full-on strategy has seen it recently ranked at number 10 in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 list of the country’s fastest-growing private businesses.
