Next week, on Friday the 24th of April, Dugges is turning
15 years old! They are going to have a big ol’ party, in three cities
but that’s all been cancelled.
🍺 15 Sour - A lactobacillus sour clocking in at 5% flavored with 15 different fruits!
🍺 15 IPA - A 7,5% hazy IPA with 15 different hop varieties in fantastic amounts!
🍺 15 Stout - 15 malt varieties, 15 spices and a whopping 15%!
Fruit Sour IPA with milk sugar, peach & passionfruit puree. Dry hopped with Citra.
Mango takes the centre stage bringing sharp tropics, a touch of
bitterness and works with the oats, lactose and salt to bring a big
thick jammy consistency. Raspberry turns the beer a deep red, brings
even more jammy qualities and a zing of tartness. Blueberries brings
sweet juiciness and just a little more jamminess for good measure!
This DIPA was brewed with Apex Brewing Company who visited us at the
beginning of March (a lifetime ago). We hopped this beer with Mosaic, El
Dorado, Nelson Sauvin and Columbus for allll the juice and then added
homemade oat cream to the boil for an extra soft mouthfeel.
We start north of the border, where it has been proven that there are
few delicacies which aren’t improved by some batter and a plunge into
the deep fat fryer. Few creations are more famous than the famous
deep-fried confectionery treat, so we set about the fun task of how to
replicate that sticky, caramel- rich flavour.
We also invited some fun lads from Leith to join in. Whilst best known
for their social media account, Pilot Beer brew some pretty tasty beers
and were straight down to assist our wacky experiments! Over a grist
featuring some brown and chocolate malts, light and dark variants of
crystal malt and plenty of rounding flaked oats; we added copious
amounts of caramel as well as lactose milk sugar to accentuate the milk
chocolate character we were seeking. We further bulked out the mouthfeel
with maltodextrin. In fermentation we added chocolate and vanilla to
seal the deal, to result a rich and sticky stout that transports you to a
chippy off the quayside of Leith.
A soft, juicy, delicious DIPA dry hopped with Galaxy, Simcoe, Enigma and Vic Secret!
Pawky and dour – two words describing Scottish view of eternal melancholy of life. Five Laphroaig barrels and nine months of maturation under the sway of the dark gallows humour of Islay. Yet another twist on our Right Worthy Imperial Baltic Porter.
A Strawberry, Vanilla Mousse, Almond Flavor and Rose Sour.
Together with Gothenburgian vegan pastry chef Lisa of Doux Pastry we’ve created this sour beer to put the spotlight on her and her work. She decided on the beer and we made it happen. A beer in Dugges Spotlight series. Doux!
🛶🎉 The Great Experiment Vol VIl:
Integrity. (8.1%) India Pale Ale Double Dry Hopped with insane amounts
of Mosaic, Huell Melon and Cascade.
La Pirata (CAT) x Juguetes Perdidos (ARG) - Imperial Gose // 7.5%
We went all out on this one and laced it with Citra, Citra Cryo, Galaxy & Sabro for an absolute juicy bomb.
We’re big fans of the beers that Theo and the team have been putting out
for the last couple of years, and we’re excited to see what they get up
to in 2020 in their brand new expanded brewhouse. It’s the perfect time
of year to be brewing a big US-hopped DIPA as the 2019 harvest makes
its way into European distribution. DEYA were keen to work with some
newer varieties whilst they were as fresh as possible, so we decided to
build the beer around Idaho 7, a late-maturing variety which is ripe
with tropical fruit potential.
We backed this up with Azacca, a hop which got us really excited last
year with its ripe watermelon aroma, and rounded this juicy hop bill off
with the first of our individually selected batch of Citra. This
combined 28g/l dry hop sits over a base beer loaded with flaked oats and
wheat, and is fermented with a new US strain perfect for producing
super clean IPAs, that has a lightly fruity ester profile to complement,
rather than overpower, the diverse array of aromas created by this
stellar hop bill.
