Take our 10HL pilot kit. It is the place our brewers let those imaginations fly and lay down unpredictable, creative tracks. Our brew team use it to dial in our small-scale experimental brews, each then finding its way to our bars as a draught-only special release.
However, we felt the naming convention used previously – Pilot Brew XXX – didn't fully reflected the ingenuity displayed by our brewers. To depict this a little better we now release each pilot brew as a bona fide B-Side; alongside our production-batch launches that take place at our bars, you’ll be able to discover a flip side in the form of one of our B-Side releases.

On tap at Brewdog Dundee, pours a murky dark orange/red with some lacing, cloudy, white head. Nose has an odd mix of pine and spruce then malt and baked apples, some mild spice too. Flavor follows, albeit with a gristy character up front first, then heavy spruce, dried orange peel, some caramel. Finishes sticky and piney.
