James Watt – BrewDog founder

Love ‘em or loathe ‘em, you can’t help but admire the enthusiasm of BrewDog and their ability to make fantastic tasting beers; not to mention their boundary pushing exploits with Toyko*, Tactical Nuclear Penguin, and the controversially named Sink the Bismarck!

The driving force behind BrewDog’s’ anti-establishment attitude is James Watt: entrepreneur, fisherman and head of all things penguin.

This week James gets stranded on our desert island with only a handful of beers and an interesting luxury item to keep him company…

The Beers

James, which beers would you want to have with you if you were stranded on a desert island? And you’re only allowed one of your own!

Barrel Aged Speedway Stout by AleSmith, 12% – “An absolute masterpiece. I would rink it from a snifter I fashioned from a coconut sitting by the fireside on the beach in the evenings”

Ruination IPA by Stone Brewing, 7,7% – “A savage IPA from the dark princes of big, bold irreverent beers. I almost cried the first time I tasted this it was so good”

5am Saint by BrewDog – “Our new 5% red hop bomb. Insane hop flavours and dangerously drinkable”

The Meal

You can also take one meal to go with your beers, what would it be?

“The 7^th wonder of the world that is the Pizza Hut buffet”

The Record

“The men’s 100m freestyle. I am going to have to catch my food and escape the sharks!”

The Book

“My one, I might even get a chance to finish it if I did”

The Luxury Item

“Is Natalie Portman a luxury item?”

We’re trying to sort out Natalie Portman right now. She doesn’t like pongy ale much though and was a little bit unsure about eating nothing but Pizza Hut buffet until a rescue party arrives. Perhaps if we swap the 100m freestyle record for some music we could tempt her?!
