BrewDog launches Abstrakt line of beers in Beatson Clark bottles

Scottish craft brewer BrewDog has launched a new range of beers, packaged in a ‘bespoke bottle’ from glass packaging manufacturer Beatson Clark.

Abstrakt is a range of limited-edition beers that are produced in small batches every year, with each batch to be named after its release code. South Yorkshire-based Beatson Clark has produced a 375ml embossed champagne-style amber beer bottle for the range, which it described as ‘boundary-pushing’.

Recent Abstrakt brews include AB19, a 13.1% blend of two barrel-aged imperial saisons; AB20, a 14.2% tiramisu oatmeal milk barley wine; a blend of an English barley wine brewed with coffee, oats and milk and a complex rum cask-aged imperial stout; and AB21, a 12% liquorice and blackcurrant-infused imperial stout.

The new bottle has the BrewDog logo embossed on the shoulder and complements the 660ml Vichy beer bottle which Beatson Clark already supplies to the brewery.

“We’ve worked with BrewDog for several years so we’re pleased that they have come back to us for this special design,” said Chris Palmer, business development manager for Beatson Clark.

“Our in-house design service is second to none and something which customers really appreciate. We are also able to manufacture bespoke bottles at small volumes, which almost certainly helped us to win the contract in this case.”
