Back then, Abnormal’s head brewer was Derek Gallanosa - a talented brewer who also knew how to promote Abnormal’s beers and helped the brewery get to where it is today. In fact, Gallanosa’s impact on Abnormal Beer Co was so huge that his name was synonymous with the brewery.

Gallanosa had carried out many great ideas that helped to promote Abnormal, including the release of the Oatmeal Stout during the company’s first anniversary. On April 12, 2015, all 600 bottles of the newly released stout were sold out within 30 seconds and the website had over 47,000 pageviews in less than five minutes!

Unfortunately, Gallanosa left Abnormal Beer Co in 2017 to start a new chapter of his career. Although Abnormal lost a masterful brewer, the brewery is still thriving, thanks to the guidance that Gallanosa gave to the sales and social media team. Gallanosa wanted to ensure that his departure would not affect the brewery in any way, so he dedicated much of his time to train his fellow employees before he left.

Another popular beer of Abnormal is its Boss Pour IPA, which uses 5 different hop varieties to give it a complex flavour of grapefruit, citrus, and pine. The San Diego-style IPA is very well-balanced and is perfect for introducing new drinkers of this style. Note: cracking open a can of Boss Pour IPA can give you the satisfaction of feeling like a boss!

Although Abnormal Beer Co has a core range of solid beers, it also releases interesting seasonal brews such as the Belgian Style Calamansi Saison - a refreshing saison that features a lime-like fruit from the Philippines.
