It was a sort of "how-to" text on going underground. It had some minor fame in certain circles in its day.<br /><br />Cheers, Peter. Wish I could have been there to have a pint with you two.

This is impossible. Most breweries work on 25-35% so it’s possibly got 70 odd IBU, which is still unbelievably bitter for a 3.5% beer. But this is Brew Dog so it probably has got 198IBU.Tommy Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-6683245958422000522009-05-12T14:04:00.000+01:002009-05-12T14:04:00.000+01:00It won't be 198IBUs - apparently Pliny the Elder i...It won't be 198IBUs - apparently Pliny the Elder is theoretically 260-odd IBU, but it comes out more like 100IBU. I think there's a solubility issue and you just can't get any more alpha acids into the beer, though you'll probably still get other flavours from all the hops in there from the other oils, etc.<br /><br />Sounds good though - will have to keep an eye out for it at any big festivals I can get to...Graemehttp://www.chromosphere.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-33331602671202073992009-05-12T13:58:00.000+01:002009-05-12T13:58:00.000+01:00I'm really looking forward to trying this beer.
