NanoDog #0001

RICH. SWEET. DECADENT.

11.3% ABV Imperial Stout

This was our very first NanoDog release. And we hit the ground sprinting. A very limited edition 11.3% imperial pastry stout that simultaneously made you feel wide awake and fast asleep, this was a sweet and malty belter of a beer.

Untappd Rating: 4.1/5

NanoDog #0002

Your. Daily. Pils.

5.1% ABV Pilsner

Only the very best pilsner for our second NanoDog release. This very limited run 5.6% lager was crisp and clean and refreshing and the perfect antidote to our imperial pastry stout and Black IPA releases.

NanoDog #0003

The. Black. Stuff.

7.8% ABV Black IPA

Fraser had been tinkering around the brewery with experimental hops, and the result was this absolute beauty. A 7.8% Black IPA that’s malty and hoppy and made you feel very happy you invested in such a satisfying beer.

NanoDog #0004

Hoppy. And. Hazy.

8% ABV Hazy IPA

NanoDog beer number 4 was one for the hop heads and the haze heads. Citra and Superdelic teamed up for a super delicious 8% Hazy IPA that was juicy and punchy and pillowy in the best possible way. Haze for days.

NanoDog #0005

INTENSELY. TROPICAL. HOPBOMB.

7.9% New England IPA

Our 5th release hit the ground sprinting with a 7.9% Double Dry Hopped DIPA that blew your socks off in the most pleasant way possible. Focussing on Strata, one of the newest and boldest hops on the block, an intense tropical fruit medley with heady notes of orange zest, pine and resin.

NanoDog #0006

BIG. BOURBON. BARLEY.

9.9% Barley Wine

NanoDog number 6 was a 9.9% bourbon barrel oak chip barley wine that was one to sip, slide back into your seat and savour every last drop. Warming bourbon oak on a baseline of light, dark and pale malts for notes of vanilla, sour cherry, marzipan and hints of coconut, finishing with a lash of tannins.

Nanodog #0008

VERY. NICE. LAGER.

5.5% Lager

Crisp, refreshing and joyful intermission between all the hoppy and hazy heavy hitters we'd been brewing. Simcoe, Saphir, Cascade and Melon hops meet Weyermann Pils malts for a fresh and floral lager brewed over in Germany.

Untappd Rating: 3.48

NanoDog #0009

WEST. COAST. LAGER.

6.2% West Coast IPA

Our lager love letter to the West Coast. Putting our own spin on this Californian trend, #0009 was dry hopped at IPA levels. HBC 586 hops saturated a clean German Pilsner malt and torrefied rice base fermented cold with W34/70 giving it huge notes of dank passionfruit and melon. Coming in at 6.2%, it had all the hops of an IPA and was dangerously crushable.

Untappd Rating: 3.7

NanoDog #0010

HAZY. JUICY. NERDY.

6% West Coast IPA

Our nerdiest beer yet. Cascade and Perle hops combined with YCH 303, a hop blend of Cryo Hops and Phantasm (made from the skin of New Zealand grown Sauvignon Blanc grapes) to give this Hazy IPA an intense flavour and aroma. The result was a complex mix of berries, mandarins and tropical coconut.

NanoDog #0011

CRISP. TROPICAL. CITRUS.

7.4% West Coast IPA

A West Coast IPA, but not as you know it. Taking a style that’s been roaming these parts for 30 odd years and throwing in modern techniques and ingredients, this was an outlaw in the most enjoyable way. Cold fermented to create an ultra clean and light body, and heaped with experimental hops Talus and Strata CGX, this was a crisp, tropical and citrusy cowboy of a beer.

Untappd Rating: 3.9

NanoDog #0013

8.5 % Belgian Golden Ale

SABRO. GOLDEN. ALE.

We took Sabro hops normally reserved for IPAs and put them into this beautiful experiment of a beer, bringing a hoppy punch of peaches, pear drops, passionfruit and spicy cloves. Brewed at the request of our Maintenance Engineer Neil Jackson, this was mad science at its finest.

Untappd Rating: 3.7

NanoDog #0015

SWEET. CHOCOLATE. CHERRY

12.7% CHERRY MAPLE STOUT

A rich and decadent dessert in a glass - sour cherry intermingling with bourbon vanilla, dark chocolate and maple syrup for a sweet, oaky 12.7% stout.

Untappd rating: 3.96

NanoDog #0016

VIBRANT. AROMATIC. HOPPY.

6.5% Saison

Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin hops meet German Pilsner and Munich malts for a vibrant and citrusy saison that blended orange oil, aromatics and coriander. Coming in at 6.5%, this was a refreshing but punchy saison that kept taste buds on their toes.

Untappd rating: 3.51

NanoDog #0017

HOPPY. FLORAL. TROPICAL.

7.8% New England IPA

A bold and experimental 7.8% New England IPA, packed full of freestyle New Zealand hops Mega Motueka, Super Sauvin and Sub Zero Hop Kief. The result was a tropical hopbomb of passion fruit, grapefruit, zesty lime with a floral finish.

Untappd rating: 3.86

NanoDog #0018

HOPPY. CITRUS. TROPICAL.

6% DDH XPA

If you’re always looking to up the hops, NanoDog’s 6% Double Dry Hopped Extra Pale Ale did the trick. Double the Talus, Strata and Citra worked their magic for notes of coconut, pineapple and citrus fruit. Extra Pale. Extra hoppy. Extra good.

NanoDog #0019

CACAO. BITTER. CHOCOLATE.

6.5% STOUT

History dictates that Foreign Export Stouts are brewed at higher ABVs to ensure they can make the journey – to wherever their destination may be. The heavily roasted malts take on an almost burnt and bitter flavour, resulting in hefty notes of intense dark chocolate and roasted cacao. Single hopped with Chinook, it’s a powerhouse of a stout that hits all the iconic stout notes with a little extra oomph.

Untappd Rating: 3.66

NanoDog #0020

MARSHMALLOW. COCONUT. CHOCOLATE.

10% ABV STOUT

This dessert stout that packs a mighty 10% ABV and a trio of decadent flavours that would put Paul Hollywood to shame. Exotic coconut, sweet marshmallow and smooth chocolate join forces for a celebration of candied excellence. Dark, roasted malts offer a balance to the sweetness.
