Dogfish Head Craft Brewery

Those who have been to Extreme Beer Fest before know the drill: Each year, Dogfish Head and BeerAdvocate brew an extreme collaboration beer to be poured at Extreme Beer Fest in Boston, Mass. For 2015, Dogfish Head collaborated on two beers with the Alström Brothers. Starting with the same base beer (a beautifully f’ed up Export-style Stout—usually a drier, leaner version of an Imperial Stout), the brew team then added roasted buckwheat and heirloom Chinese Forbidden Rice to the mash. When it came time to transfer the beer from the brew kettle to the fermentation vessel, they let the ever-omnivorous Chico yeast take care of the rest. But the creativity and fun didn’t end there. The beer was split into two previously used oak barrels. And finally, in February, to celebrate the fest, the greater beer community, and the seventh year that Dogfish Head has been the sole sponsor, they held a contest to decide on a name for each of the Stouts. Congrats to BA user kkulacki from Massachusetts, who submitted the winning entries!
