Imperial ESB Collaboration Ale

Well folks, myself and Bobby Zacharias of Propeller Brewing Company teamed up in a mind-meld to come up with a signature beer that represents both the Hart and Thistle and Propeller Brewing Company proudly. It's like no other beer that has been brewed in either brewery before yet is a perfect representation of both our styles.




Packaged in limited run, 500 ml ceramic-screened commemorative bottles, this one's a keeper!

Imperial ESB Collaboration Ale sports the meaty body, colour and firm bitterness of Propeller's delicious flagship ESB. Add a little touch of Nash into the mix for an unfiltered, mind-twisting 8.5% ABV with some heavy-handed late and dry-hopping and voila! Imperial ESB Collaboration Ale will rock your world.

Launching at the Hart and Thistle Tuesday December 13th @ 5:30 p.m.

After the launch the beer will be available at Propeller, on draught at the Hart and Thistle, and in bottles at select local private agency liquor stores.

We anticipate it selling out in a hurry so get on it before it disappears!

Hyperhidrosis - DIPA

Born on October 31st 2011

Okay folks, here's our latest double IPA hop bomb whipped up with some of those very special hops utilized in the one and only, the luscious - Hop Mess Monster v.2.0. You know the ones..... they smell like armpits and taste like sweat! No wait, my beers aren't the slightest bit salty! Really though, it's only a certain team of professional beer judges that could possibly pull comments like that out of their ass (see below).WTF does sweat taste like anyways, besides salty I mean?

And so here it is..... Hyperhidrosis DIPA, a pit-bomb brewed for and dedicated to the judging team at the 2011 Canadian Brewing Awards. Yup, you guys that sat in on the first round DIPA judging table. 0_o   Oh and I have a tip for the judges too, the next time the crack of your ass is getting all wet and sweaty go ahead and have a big ol' lick, maybe, just maybe that will help get your palate in check.


Hyperhidrosis is tawny, dank and delicious with that long lupulin-draw we all seek and crave so get on it while it's fresh!

On tap Monday October 31st @ 11:00 a.m.

Enjoy!

For any amateur brewers out there wanting to enter your beers in a competition for the sake of gaining valuable feedback from judges comments and score sheets, you may want to think again although I expect you'd see more professional and qualified results even at the homebrewing level. What you see below are the results from a National competition for professional brewers that pay a lot of money to vie for a medal. Just sayin'.

And now, on to the goods - the judges comment sheets from the 2011 Canadian Brewing Awards for North America's hoppiest beer ever brewed (that's right, I said hoppiest. Not the most bitter, that is after all, an entirely different thing), the one and only Hop Mess Monster v.2.0.
