Pineapple Dunn Upside Down

The inspiration for this beer came from a pineapple upside down cake. We wanted to create an in-depth malt profile, so it was decided to use a wee heavy base, boil it for an extended time to bring forth the rich caramel flavors then using the pineapple to help cut through the sweetness of the malts and create a delicious decadent dessert beer.

If you’ve been following along and enjoying each Stone One Batch Dispatch release (of course you have), you’ll remember our last beer, Mango Maya Milkshake IPA, was a winner of a homebrew competition we produced in cooperation with the American Homebrewers Association (AHA). All the way back in January 2020 we crowned another winner just before everything got all… 2020. The top-voted beer was a most unexpected Wee Heavy (also known as a Scotch Ale) inspired by pineapple upside down cake by homebrewer Jason Dunn. It’s a style you don’t see so often these days. The result is a rich, malt-forward beer with heavy caramelized character, accented by tangy pineapple. We’re excited to finally get to brew and bring it to you! Just remember to save room for dessert. Show Less
