With my head still in Thailand and my hand in my latest brewing experiment (I’m calling it “Spacewine IPA”), I was just now able to catch up on beer news. I’m most excited about two tidbits of info from my favorite brewery, Dogfish Head:
Apparently, there is now a restaurant of theirs near my parent’s house in Virginia. This means (for the better or worse) it will be a lot more fun to visit my parents. And best of all? They have an iPhone app that keeps me up to date with what’s on tap! (Via. Thanks!)
Second bit of info isn’t particularly new, just awesome. Dogfish Head and west coast brewery, Sierra Nevada has joined together on a pair of collaberative beers:
The result, released in November, is Life & Limb, a 10 percent ABV ale brewed with maple syrup from Calagione’s family farm in Massachusetts and hops from the Sierra Nevada estate in Chico, California; just for fun, the pair used the mash a second time to brew Limb & Life, a 5 percent ABV “small” beer (so-called because second-run brews have many of the characteristics of the first run, but much less alcohol and character).
I have yet to see any around… anyone else?
In the meantime, who’s up for a roa dtrip to Virginia?
