Another ancient beer that Dogfish head has resurrected in a series of extreme beer, such as Midas Touch and Sah’tea. The Chateau Jiahu is based on the findings of a Molecular Archeologist in Northern China. Dogfish Head first introduced this ancient representation in 2006 and have since been making it as a seasonal rarity.
Our first Simply Beer Club on November 7th was a huge success. We tasted through a half dozen+ stouts and had a blast discussing the beer in a fun and very educational forum.
It’s not every day you get to attend the release dinner for an amazing collaborative beer. When I heard about the Life & Limb collaboration beer between Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada and their east coast release dinner was going to be 20 minutes away, I had to get there. Not only beer from two amazing breweries, but food and the pairing done by Bobby Flay at Bar Americain. According to Sam Calagione(Dogfish Head) and Ken Grossman(Sierra Nevada) Bobby Flay had been working on this menu and beer pairing for the last month and it was a great meal! I think for the most part, I’ll let the pictures of the food and beer do the talking!

But what could make an evening of amazing beer, great food, and new friends better? A one on one interview with the man who has turned extreme beer into a household name, Sam Calagione.
Seems like there are a lot of pumpkin beers out there now. Is this the new American fall beer, like Oktoberfest is for Germany? I hope not, this type of vegetable beer has only really been commercially made for the last 25 years or so. Not a long history but as you’ll see a wide variety of flavors can be found with this type of beer from mildly seasoned to full on doughy pumpkin pie.
Its that time a year again for the fall seasonal beers to come out, that means Oktoberfest beer and Pumpkin beer. Pumpkin beer is technically a Spiced orVegetable beer, but can have a wide variety of flavors because of the base beer and spices that are included.
