Amager Bryghus – Rubberduck Revolution: Dryhopped West Coast DIPA
In early 1992 a huge cargo ship left Hong Kong, destined for Tacoma in the Pacific Northwest of USA. On January 10th the ship ran into a heavy storm in the North Pacific and a container filled with 28.000 yellow rubberducks spilled into the sea, liberating the ducks. Until now everyone has believed the incident to be entirely accidental, but a journalist now claims to have met the leader of a whole colony of rubberducks living on the remote Hawaiian island of Lehua. According to the leader of the Rubberduck Revolutionary Front, operating under his nom de guerre ‘Moby Duck’, the incident wasn’t accidental at all. “When we heard the storm coming, we started rocking the container. We may be small, but when there’s 28.000 of us, we can pull some weight”, he apparently told the journalist. According to Moby Duck, the rubberducks were fed up with a designated life with snotty babies in bathtubs full of pee and poop. “Why don’t we deserve a happy life, just because because we are small, rubbery and yellow?”, he asks rhetorically in the interview. And according to the journalist, Lehua has turned into a pure rubberduck paradise, as free rubberducks are happy rubberducks. The rubberduck revolution may have been the most peaceful revolution in the history of duckkind, as not a single shot was fired. But eternal freedom was achieved for these lil’ peace loving critters.
