Brewery releases new beer.. at £40 per bottle
May 22 2008 By Alexander Lawrie
SCOTLAND'S newest microbrewery are releasing a limited edition stout set to be one of the most expensive beers in the world.
Released to celebrate BrewDog brewery's first birthday, Paradox has been matured for 12 months in a 1968 Bowmore whisky barrel and will cost £40 for a 330ml bottle.
And although only 200 bottles of the expensive brew are available, half have already been pre-ordered by beer enthusiasts from around the world.
The brewery in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, was launched in 2007 by lifelong friends James Watt and Martin Dickie.
James, 25, said: "This beer totally rocks. It is unique and a world first on many levels.
"I can't wait to raise a glass of this special batch of Paradox to toast BrewDog's first birthday.
"We've had a great first year and to be producing beers of this quality in such a short time is exactly where we want to be."
BrewDog have been producing the whisky-cask-aged stout since launching last year.
It took gold at this year's Beer World Cup and also won a Scotland Food & Drink Excellence award.
Martin said: "Paradox represents everything that we love about brewing.
"It's an innovative, uncompromising beer and will hopefully change a few people's perceptions."
