THIS BEER IS
We thought it would be great if Jeremy Moynier from Stone Brewing Co. brewed his own beer while he was here, with Jeremy deciding everything right down to the name! The result is a special 20HL batch of BlackDog, a 5.5% dark wheat stout with Columbus, Simcoe and Chinook and of course plenty of dry hopping action.

BREWER'S TIP
By soaking some oak chips in bourbon, then steeping in the beer, you not only get an authentic bourbon taste - the beer will also gain ABV! Add salt to taste but beware - too much will totally ruin the balance of the beer.
