Gigantic Brewing releases Fancy Pants Hazelnut Chocolate Stout, in cooperation with artist Abbas Husain.
Press Release
Gigantic Brewing is excited to announce the release of Fancy Pants Hazelnut Chocolate Stout. Their hazelnut chocolate stout is dressed to impress with the decadence of a chocolate cake and the subtle nutty sweetness of the Oregon filbert.
“We live in Oregon which is home to many hazelnut tree farms, or filbert if you’re in the know,” explains Ben Love. “It’s a very delicious nut and when added to chocolate a classic pairing. Ferrero Rocher anyone?”.
Gigantic embarked on a journey to create their own slice of hazelnut chocolate cake heaven in beer form. Fancy Pants was brewed with the fanciest of local Oregon filberts. These magical nuts infuse every corner of this sweet stout with hazelnutty goodness. When combined with judicious amounts of chocolate malt and flaked oats, the resulting beer will surely delight the most discriminating dessert connoisseur. Slap on your Fancy Pants and enjoy a beer made of true elegance!
Fancy Pants label features the original work of Abbas Husain. Described in his own words as “a very serious artist”, his favorite subjects are sharks, whales, octopodes, and dinosaurs (some say his artistic taste hasn't developed beyond age 8). In addition to traditional and digital illustration, he specializes in hand pulled screen prints. Abbas founded Bagman Studios in 2016, and now does art full time in collaboration with his girlfriend and cat. Head over to bagmanstudios.com to check out all his fun, colorful and playful “serious art”.
