Notes

First Brewed 04/2007

In 2006 James and Martin hijacked a beer dinner run by Michael Jackson, the acclaimed beer and whisky writer, and convinced him to taste one of their home brews. This was a defining moment in BrewDog prehistory, and that beer was the first incarnation of the ubiquitous Paradox. Aged in a variety of casks over the years, Paradox is dark, decadent and encapsulating. Can be enjoyed fresh; phenomenal when aged.
The beauty of this beer is in how brilliantly it lends itself to infusing or ageing. Experiment with different additions when the beer is ageing, taste it regularly to gauge its progress, and make sure you package it at its peak.
