– Event / AB:07 Launch – Wednesday 5th October – It’s Back On!
Here at Port Street Beer House at 7pm on the 5th October something of the unseen is happening. With only one other bar outside of the Aberdeenshire HQ, we are going to be sharing a very exclusive beer, this is going to be as rare as a nun in a bikini.
Josie from BrewDog is smuggling an unreleased concoction across the Scottish borders especially for us! It will be the launch of AB:07. It’s a whisky cask aged imperial Scotch ale brewed with lager yeast, heather honey and Islay whisky malt and at 12.5%. We only have one 20 litre keg so be quick because when it’s gone, it’s gone. The launch is open to all, it’s a non-ticketed event and beer will only be available for purchase.
– Brewery Visit at Red Willow / By William France
Monday morning and it’s time for our first collaboration. Myself and two budding brewsters are off to Macclesfield to brew a beer for the ‘Meet The Brewer’ event with Toby Mckenzie and Red Willow on the 26th September. We had bounced around a few ideas prior to the visit and settled on a 8% wheat beer for Oktoberfest with a twist. After coffee we jumped on the train to meet Toby, we arrived at the haunt of the small brewer, an industrial unit. Labour intensive work has been exchanged for alchemy in many of the North West’s units, but brewing is probably a lot harder work then servicing peoples car repair needs, as we were going to find out.

– Event / Mikkeller Hop-topia tasting – Monday 10th October
Mikkeller Hop-topia tasting event / Monday 10th October
6.30pm until 9.30pm (doors at 6pm)
SOLD OUT
/ Event info
Mikkeller has brewed 19 different single hop IPA’s. Every beer is brewed with the same yeast and malt, the same brewing process and same amount of hops. The only difference is the 19 different hop sorts.
The result is 19 very different beers with theoretical IBU’s ranging from 38 to 114. All 19 beers are really fresh and have been bottled and barrelled at de Proef in Belgium. In addition, this single hop series is part of a scientific project, studying how hops evolve over time, how the choice of container affects the taste as well as other parameters. The event will encourage an open discussion within the small groups about the beers.
Monday 10th October we will give you the chance to taste the FULL range of beers at Port Street Beer House.
The hops used are : Bravo, Cascade, Centennial, Cluster, Columbus, Galena, Mt. Hood, Nugget, Super Galena, Tettnanger, Willamette, Citra, Palisade, Simcoe, Warrior, Challenger, Magnum, Amarillo, Sorachi Ace.
* tasting all 19 Mikkeller beers – limited to 25 places
* this will be dived into 5 groups of 5 people and take place in the saloon
