BrewDog Releasing Albino Squid Assassin Cans

From BrewDog:

There may be only a handful of days left before the book closes on 2015, but that doesn’t mean we have geared into neutral and are coasting towards the festive season. Our latest epic small-batch beer is ready to go, so rather than keep our powder dry until the New Year it is out now, packing a punch…or to be precise, ten thunderous punches.
You can buy Albino Squid Assassin here

This multi-armed monster from the deep is a Red Rye IPA, bristling with layers of depth from a fusillade of kettle and dry hopping. The zesty pithiness of Citra and the resinous pine of Chinook square off perfectly against other munitions deployed; the caramel, cinder toffee and roastiness from the malt bill and the peppery detonation of rye.

Seeking a fitting match for the intense complexity of the beer, we have dressed our benthic outlaw in a suitably stunning small-batch label, designed for us by the supremely talented Joe Wilson. We love collaborating with artists on our small batch releases, and Joe’s cold-hearted Cephalopod is such a cool piece of artwork, we have also made it into a t-shirt, which you can buy here!

In fact, such has already been the reaction to the look of Albino Squid Assassin that some have gone to even more permanent lengths than a simple t-shirt! Our flagship Aberdeen bar already has a squid on the roster – and Assistant Manager Squidy has harnessed the defensive capability of his namesake and got himself inked up. Check the awesome ‘Squid on a Squidy’ video below!

Huge thanks to the good people at Rebel Ink on George Street, Aberdeen, and in particular the fantastic tattoo skills of Liam Manson. If you find yourself in our flagship bar, be sure and ask (politely) if Squidy will let you see it in person!
Albino Squid Assassin is live in the online shop right now and will be in our UK bars from 6pm tonight, Friday 18th December. You can round up our deep-sea behemoth for yourself in can and also on draft, so be sure and let us know in the comments section what you think of our gun-toting tentacled terminator!
