tempest in a pint glass

oh oh! controversy in the craft beer world! a beer advocate thread on over-rated breweries gets some knickers in a twist "hawksbeerfan" out of new york started it all with this post: What brewery out there gets too much hype for what they bring to the table? My money goes to Dogfish Head. Their IPAs are solid but most of their "big" beers really aren't anything special and some are downright bad. sam calagione responds: It's pretty depressing to frequently visit this site and see the most negative threads among the most popular. This didn't happen much ten years ago when craft beer had something like a 3 percent market share. Flash forward to today, and true indie craft beer now has a still-tiny but growing marketshare of just over 5 percent. Yet so many folks that post here still spend their time knocking down breweries that dare to grow. It's like that old joke: "Nobody eats at that restaurant anymore, it's too crowded.” Except t...

dogfish head

i want this beer! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 2011 The official press release.... Dogfish Celebrates100th Birthday of Mississippi Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson with "Hellhound On My Ale" Legacy Recordings Releasing 'Robert Johnson: The Centennial Collection' on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 * * * * * May 8, 2011 marks the 100th birthday of singer/songwriter/guitarist Robert Johnson -- the archetypal Mississippi Delta bluesman who purportedly sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads of Highway 61 and Highway 49 in exchange for uncanny musical prowess. In honor of the Robert Johnson centennial, Delaware's Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has created "Hellhound On My Ale," a super-hoppy brew inspired by the otherworldly soul and complexity of Johnson's music. Produced in a small-quantity-limited run, "Hellhound On My Ale," is 100% dry-hopped with Centennial Hops with sublime citrus notes courtesy of dried organic lemon peel and flesh...

discovery channel

okay, this almost makes me wish i had television: dogfish head founder sam calagione has a tv show coming out on discovery channel in january he'll be travelling to breweries to meet the brewers and discuss regionality apparently he told beer advocate that he'll be visiting allagash, stone, victory, russion river, sierra nevada and epic in new zealand i also wanna see inside dogfish as they come up with new recipes... too bad downloading is illegal... beer advocate quotes calagione as saying "beer has always been my passion.  it is so much more than what you see in the glass.  i'm excited to share the diligence, daring and creativity that we pour into our work.  i'm confident that discovery and this show are going to turn a lot more people on to the work of the amazing craft brewers around the world.  i think that will be great for our whole community."

stolen from npr : Aged 9,000 Years, Ancient Beer Finally Hits Stores by Brad Horn July 17, 2010:   "Dogfish Head brewery is known for making exotic beer with ingredients like crystallized ginger or water from Antarctica, so it might not sound surprising that one of its recent creations is a brew flavored simply by grapes and flowers. It's not the recipe that makes this beer so special; it's where that recipe was found: a Neolithic burial site in China. Chateau Jiahu is a time capsule from 7,000 B.C., but to hear Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione talk about what beer was actually like back then, it's not the kind of thing that makes you say "Hey, pass me another ice-cold ancient ale!" "Probably, all beer thousands of years ago — to our modern palates — would have tasted spoiled," Calagione says. "In fact, in a lot of hieroglyphics, people are shown drinking beer using straws because they were trying to avoid the chunks of solids and wil...
