Dogfish and Sierra Nevada Collaborate on Glassware

Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada are really starting to become BFFs. Moving past just collaborating on beer, they’ve come together to design the new standard for IPA drinking. This new glassware has been designed to completely enhance the way one drinks an IPA with specially designed features exclusively for this style of beer.

These features include thin, round walls to maintain temperature, a slender, bowed shape to amplify hop aroma, wave-like ridges to aerate, a wide mouth to comfortably nose the beer, and a laser-etched logo on the bottom to sustain carbonation in the head.

“I’ve been a longtime believer in the importance of using quality glasswareto enhance the enjoyment of quality craft beer,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. “The process of collaborating on the design of this hop-centric glass takes this concept to the next level.”

Glasses are available for $9 at Dogfish’s webstore, their brewery, and the Delaware brewpub.

Dogfish Head Sixty-One: IPA with Syrah Grape Must

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (Milton, DE) has a long standing history with beer and wine. You’ll notice that most recently in Noble Rot, a beer brewed with grape must. Just like Noble Rot, Sixty-One is born out of Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione’s experimental nature. Years ago, Sam started pouring a little red wine in his glass of 6o Minute IPA. Truly a marriage of beer and wine.

Sixty-One takes the brewery’s year round 60 Minute IPA and adds Syrah grape must from California. Look for Sixty-One this March, then 4 times a year.Style: IPA (w/ Grape Must)
Availability: 12oz bottle/ 4 packs, Draft
Arrival: March, 2013

6.5% ABV

Interesting Fact:  The name Sixty-One is a reminder that this beer is Dogfish Head’s best-selling 60 Minute IPA plus one new ingredient. The label, painted by Sam, isn’t your typical watercolor. Calagione mixed the green pigment with beer and the red pigment with wine. The browns on the label are done with melted chocolate.
