Nail Brewing’s Clout Stout is a speciality beer brewed every year since 2010.

“Clout Stout 2016 is a Russian imperial stout so it is different to most beers; for example, it is 11 per cent alcohol which is very high.
“This beer can age for a few years, its flavour changes over the years where a normal craft beer is best to drink fresh.”
Mr Stallwood said 700 bottles would be officially released mid-August.
“This week it is sold on taps at the Bassendean Hotel, Clancy’s Canning Bridge and Clancy’s Fremantle,” he said.
“It is an expensive beer so we put a lot of extra time into it, they are all hand bottled and hand labelled.”
He said Nail Brewing was preparing for next week’s CBA Awards in Brisbane and the Perth Royal Beer Show.
