Notes

First Brewed 03/2013

The beer was named Bracken’s Porter as a tribute to our favourite four pawed friend who sadly passed in 2013. Chocolately, robust, warming, laid back and lots of fun - there are plenty of similarities between the two. Bracken we miss you and we hope you like your beer. Long live the original BrewDog.
Try to replicate London’s highly carbonated water to really emphasise the dark malt profile.
