With the announcement that Rogue is trolling the industry with a Moby Dick infused 'White Whale Ale,' what are some other beer/book pairings that you'd like to see go down? Vav inspired this on the original White Whale Ale page when musing about FFF's potential offering: Personally I'm waiting for the Founders Foundation Trilogy series of Asimov Inspired Ales But would settle for a blend of St. Arnolds Weedwhacker with Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (abridged, of course) Are you eagerly awaiting any adaptations of books in bottles brewed with beer?
Bells Two Hearted Ale name was inspired by the Hemingway stories in the UP. Nick Adams fishing on the Big Two Hearted River.
I'd assume Magic Hat's Heart of Darkness is inspired by the book. Also, Philadelphia Brewing makes a Walt Wit for Walt Whitman. This list will likely go on and on...
Yes, but do they have ACTUAL PIECES OF BOOK IN THEM? That is really the new standard test for quality. I know that brewers sometimes read, I want pages in my pilsner, sentences in my stout, words in my witbier, authors in my ales!
