The Bastard has officially entered the building.

Arrogant Bastard Ale fans, rejoice. You’ve read it right, we are continuing our beer-fuelled exploits with Escondido’s Stone Brewing Co. This time, we’ve taken in what they have let loose into the world. Out on its own, after being heavily guarded for 17 years, The Arrogant Bastard has set its sights on those only worthy enough to take The Bastard on. BrewDog has adopted The Bastard from across the pond, to try our hand at concocting our very own, unashamedly superior and maddeningly tasty, one hell of a haughty 7.2% ABV Ale.

In June, Stone officially sent the bastard packing, never to return to their beery citadel. Well, their loss is our gain. Arrogant Bastard, we will introduce you to your Scottish roots (FACT: they say there are more Scottish people in America than in Scotland*) and release you to raise pandemonium across Great Britain.

The recipe, which until now has been kept under strict lock and key, only shared amongst the brew team at Stone, has been passed on to our brew team. When handed the highly coveted brew sheet, we were wished the best of luck paired with a hasty warning of the “liquid arrogance” we are about to bestow on the Great British public.

In 1997, Stone Brewing released an ale so sophisticated, it wreaked havoc on the monolithic, mass-market “beer” industry. Arrogant Bastard we stand by you, our mission is to make people passionate about great craft beer. We don’t mind your pompous attitude, we revel in it. We accept the bastard into our home.

Repute be damned, in a few months, Arrogant Bastard Ale will hail across all UK BrewDog Bars. Making its BrewDog debut alongside the irreverent pack leader Punk IPA and hell-raising Jack Hammer. This is arrogance at its absolute freshest, brewed by BrewDog’s finest at our Ellon HQ, served by our top crew mates to the worthy masses. While ABA rescues the UK’s taste buds from tasteless, boring beer, proceeds from sales will go to Foster Care 2 Success  - an incredible charitable organisation that guides kids down their own successful roads. And as Captain James would say, “Drink the Bastard, Save the Bastard”.

Watch this space for more updates on the journey of The Arrogant Bastard as we prepare the British public to for what is about to be unleashed.

*Is it a fact? We’re not sure but it sounds believable.
