BrewDog announced yesterday evening that they’ve bottled up two new variants of their Paradox Whisky Cask Aged Imperial Stout for Japanese export and general website sales.

Almost before I knew what was happening, a stout-coloured mist had descended and I found myself clicking the ‘Buy’ button: coughing up £25.00 (less 10% with the BLOG discount code and £28.50 in total with an additional £6 for postage on top) for the Xmas Box Set containing three bottles of each and additionally tempted, I’m sure, by the rather natty DrewDog beer glasses they’ve thrown in for good measure. I know. £28.50 for six bottles of beer is a tad pricey. I sincerely hope the stuff is worth it (although I rather suspect it will be…)

Anyhow, BrewDog are promising next-day delivery as well, so if the consignment does arrive by Saturday I’ll be able to add Paradox Springbank and Paradox Longrow into the tasting of the Paradox Smokehead and Rip Tide stouts that I’ve tentatively planned for the weekend. Then again, maybe that’d be just too much of a good thing all in one go, eh? Perhaps I should save the new ones for next Thursday, say, round about dinner time..? We’ll see.
