The Rainbow Project 2015

Unknown-1-1024x723

 

The Rainbow Project began in 2013, when we brought together seven of our favourite breweries from the UK, all of which were assigned a colour and asked to brew a beer loosely based around that colour. Last year we randomly paired each UK brewer with a European counterpart (plus Evil Twin), which produced some spectacular results. Launch events took place in Europe and the USA and the collaborations formed friendships and knowledge-sharing connections that are still going strong today.For 2015, now in its third outing, we're going trans-atlantic, pairing 7 of the best UK breweries with 7 of the best from the USA. The collaborations are all listed above, it's fair to say we're pretty excited about the creations that will be born this time around! We'll be releasing a limited edition case of all seven beers with a unique glass, plus celebrating the project with some very special launch events. Along with showcasing the seven special beers, the US breweries have arranged for some of their own brews to land on our shores to make the events even more spectacular. So if you fancy trying the likes of Dogfish Head's Sixty-One, Arizona Wilderness' Superstition Coffee Stout, Surly's Misanthrope, Crooked Stave's St. Bretta (Pomelo), Cigar City's Cucumber Saison or Prairie's Okie, you'd better come along...
