COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our new 8.5% Imperial India Pale Ale is a ticking time bomb of a beer. Born To Die 04.07.2015 is even more heavily whirlpool and dry-hopped than the majority of our beers – with the sole intention of passing that level of flavour on to you, as quickly as possible. Hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra and Mosaic, from the moment it leaves our bottling and kegging line, it is on the clock. Born To Die takes a huge amount from the brilliant Stone ‘Enjoy By…’ series of beers – and it is with the blessing of our good friend Greg Koch at Stone that we are putting our own BrewDog spin on the concept. To our knowledge, it’s the first time in Europe that something like this has been done. Born To Die is the definitive chance to let people see (and taste) the differences time can infer on IPA. Batch List: Born To Die 14.05.2016, Born To Die 04.07.2015, Born To Die 27.11.2015, Born To Die 18.08.2016, Born to Die 13.05.17, Born to Die 13.09.2018, Born to Die 05.05.2019, Born to Die 15.05.2020
