Happy New Year! With the Holiday season upon us we’ve been reviewing holidayales, but schedules have also been switched up. This we we travel way back to the vault and post a review of Dogfish Head‘s Burton Baton. Dogfish Head has been known for big favors and their ancient series (which we very much enjoy), along with some interesting light beers and works well with others. That’s quite the resume. This week we travel back to last summer… and tried Burton Baton, a English style ale mixed with a Imperial IPA to equal a nice 10% ABV. In the meantime we’ve been making list of New Years resolutions: drink good beer, hit good events, check out The Beer Friends daily, and… well… what else do you need? Beer! Friends! Resolutions!
Ah, fall is in the air – the air is getting crisp and signs of a full harvest takeover are all around us… so this week we reviewed a summer beer! Dogfish Head Festina Peche is so good we couldn’t resist.This seasonal offering by Dogfish Head comes in four packs and goes quick when it’s around. The Beer Friends typical enjoy Dogfish Head ancient brews and the experimental series they create, even their collaborations – so let’s see how a seasonal stacks up!
This week we grabbed a brew from Ancient Honduras – Theobroma from Dogfish Head Brewery. This beer is part of the Ancient Ales Series which Sam Calagione (Founder and CEO) researches beers ancient roots and attempts to recreate some of these early brewing methods and recipes. Although the Beer Friends have looked at other Dogfish Head brews and Collaborations, this is the first in the Ancient Ales series of which you can drink 3 of 5 on Untappd.com and earn a badge for your efforts. Ancient Ales! Beer Rewards! Early Honduras Brew Masters!
This SPotW is another combination of two bombers of Dogfish Head‘s Bitches Brew. Sony re-released Miles Davis iconic album, Bitches Brew and Dogfish Head made a beer to capture the spirit of jazz infusion. Three parts imperial stout and one part African honey-like beer makes for a interesting mixture, much like the album – also listen closely for “Bitches Brew” in the background playing from the album of the same name. Jazz! Beer! Limited release! (So get some!)
Today we review a brew brought to us by a fan and we knew nothing else better to do with it than drink it! On screen! And review it! Beer! Friends! Here’s our opinions on Old Dominion Hop Mountain Pale Ale… Happy New Year! (This is the first we filmed this new year…)
