Ghost Deer

Fu*k the system. Forget what you know. What has been. Bow to no one. History is bereft. Reorder. Disorder. Embrace the unknown. The groundbreaking. The challenging. The revolution is upon us.

Say hello to Ghost Deer. A defiant and irreverent, devil may care, supersonic bitch of a beer. Ghost Deer is a 28% fermented beer, the strongest ever fermented beer which is only ever served from a single handcrafted and authentic deer’s head.

This idiosyncratic ale combines the 3 things that we are most passionate about: craft beer, art and taxidermy. This is a revolution in brewing and in beer dispense. The impact is at once beautiful and disturbing – it disrupts conventions and breaks taboos, just like the beer it pours.

It is designed to push the boundaries and challenge people’s perceptions about what beer is and how served and enjoyed. In true BrewDog fashion we've torn up convention, blurred distinctions and pushed brewing and beer packaging to its absolute limits. This beer is an audacious blend of eccentricity, artistry and rebellion; changing the general perception of beer one glass at a time.

In the last couple of years we have brought beer aficionados Sink the Bismarck! At 41% and the epic End of History at 55%. These alcohol contents were achieved by the extreme freezing of an already very strong beer. Ghost Deer achieves 28% ABV simply from the normal fermentation process. We used a variety of yeast strains during the elephantine process and drip fed the fermented masterpiece exotic sugars to ensure the yeast lived long enough to continue the fermentation.

The beer itself is a robust 28% blonde ale. After fermentation it is aged for 6 months in some amazing whisky, bourbon, rum and sherry barrels. There is only one Ghost Deer head and this beer will only ever be available on draft, served in a stemmed glass, direct from the mouth of the deer himself. The elusive deer is going to be resident in BrewDog Edinburgh for a very limited time period commencing at 7.30pm on Wednesday the 7th of September. The deer himself will decide where he will next appear.

If you are lucky enough to meet Ghost Deer and sample this revolutionary brew. Be careful. This  schizophrenic delusional screw up of a drink is best enjoyed with vigilance and a dose of vagrant optimism.

you know, much as i love your beers, i hate your use of a burning cigarette in your imagery. I'd hate to have to put up with the ass-stink of cigarette smoke while trying to enjoy some quality beer.

I'm supposed to be going to a Wedding with my girlfriend on Friday. I'm tempted to make a detour to Manchester Piccadilly and jump a train to Edinburgh for this badboy!
Scott K 07.09.2011 @ 9:39am
Seriously, you guys, there is a special place in heaven for you, probably right next to the Canadian guys that invented Bacon Salt.
James, BrewDog 07.09.2011 @ 9:34am
