Commemorative Brew

[Doc]

I'm planning a commemorative brew due for brewing in a couple of months.

Have got some inspiration from here as well as the Stone Brewing Vertical Epic range of beers.

On July 7, at seven seconds after 7:07 p.m., Nowatzki quaffed his 7,777th beer at Big Dog's Brewing Company, 4543 N. Rancho Drive.

Big Dog's brewmaster, Dave Otto, brewed up a beer especially for the occasion called Quad 7. Otto used seven different malts, seven different hops, 77 IBU's -- International Bittering Units -- and 7.7 percent alcohol.

I'm thinking of a Triple IPA style beer 10%+, 200IBU+.
What commemorative brews have you guys done in the past ?

Beers,
Doc

[kwikkwaka]

Dont know if it is commemorative, but I am thinking of brewing a mid strength ale for some sessions during the up coming ashes series. Australian malt, English hops (the malt dominating ofcourse )

 

[bconnery]

I've done a few birthday brews for mates and for my dad.

I did a few baby beers prior to the arrival of my daughter, I Want My Baby Bock and Pregnant Pause Porter.

Then there was Renovation Ale...

I'll commerate just about anything with a brew now that I come to think of it...

I've done a number of commemorative brews too. Abbeys Dubbel, Aidans Irish Red, Third Trimester Wheat .....
But I'm talking over the top commemorative brews. Big brews, like Triple IPA's, Imperial Barley Wines, Belgian Quad .......

Thoughts ?

Might have to work on some limited edition commemorative labels for your special brews guys just to set them off
