Time For A New Dialogue About US Good Beer
Posted by on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 in - 17 comments
Interesting intervention in a rather over the top bitching session over at the Beer Advocate pointing out the disfunctionality of a large part of the discourse. In response to some wildly weirdly accusations about which breweries in the US are "over rated", Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head in … read more »
Who Is Dogfish Head And What Is "Innovation"?
Posted by on Wednesday, December 22, 2010 in - 16 comments
Stan is running a great discussion over at his place that I will not replicate but to trap my comment of this morning which I think has captured something of what I think about Dogfish Head. The first bit is what Stan wrote in a comment followed by my observations: • “…I tried to write the post …
Oh Dear - The "Cake Boss" Of Beer Gets Panned

What a disappointing graphic. But appropriately so - don't you think? See, I have mentioned how I have been utterly unthrilled by the prospect of a TV show about Dogfish Head and their business operations. This is not to say you should not be thrilled by the show and not to say that I do not like …

Mark Dredge has a piece in this morning's Guardian out of the UK entitled "The Beer of Yesteryear" which scans the range of recent brewing efforts to recreate beers older than, say, 500 years ago. These are beers which use ingredients available to former culture including Theorbrama by Dogfish …

I've told you about the writings of Bob Cowser Jr., right? More here but buy these books. You will be happier or wiser or something. • I wonder if Dogfish Head's 10% blend of young and oak-aged Imperial IPAs will make me feel as good as those books did. The brewer says: • “A blend of oak-aged …
Bit Hop Bombs: 120 Minutes IPA, Dogfish Head, Del., USA

So I give the tickets away, come hope to find them, end up having have to dig through the recycling to find the envelope and there it is - and it is not for the Jays against the Tigers...it's for the Thursday night game next week against the Sox. I am so there. • Good reason to break out the … read more »
Delaware: Golden Shower, Dogfish Head, Milton

An imperial pilsner. This is a sort of beer I never imagined I would need to concern myself with. Unlike stouts or pale ales with their history of bigness, surely no one would bother upping the game of brewing the steely king of lagers. No one told Dogfish Head from Delaware, however, and they … read more »
Two Simpler Dogfish Brews, Delaware, USA

Indian Brown Ale and 60 Minute IPA from Dogfish. While they make the excellent yet basic Shelter Pale Ale, Dogfish Head is one of the great micro-breweries of North American and well-known for innovations like the continually and highly hopped 120 and 90 Minute IPAs. Heck, for St. Patrick's Day …
Stouts: Dogfish Head Chicory Stout, Delaware, USA

Holy adjuncts! The Canadian version of this ale - found by surprise at the LCBO this weekend - has to have ingredient listings in English and French plastered on the neck with a bubble jet quality label. And what secrets it reveals: water (ok), malt (of course), hops (fine), yeast (sure, sure …
Big Hop Bombs: Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Delaware USA

...perhaps one of the best IPAs in America... • We were this close to staying at a hotel between the Dogfish Head Brewery and the beach at Lewes, Delaware...this close...then I bailed on the great southern credit card run and opted for the nearer north-east of New England. I would have learned … read more »
