Dogfish Head Creates Wasabi Beer

A new music inspired collaboration rises from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (Milton, DE). This beer uses wasabi. What? I know. Read on.

Julianna Barwick is an American musician that hails from Louisiana. Her music uses multiple loops of her voice to create the melody. Her go-to ingredient is wasabi, and Dogfish is happy to oblige. Meet Dogfish Head Rosabi, brewed with wasabi and bittered with Japanese root.

The vivid rose hue of comes from a combination of Munich and Caramel malts and a touch of red rice from Louisiana, birthplace of musician and collaborator Julianna Barwick. Citrusy Simcoe and Centennial feed Juhanna’s love of hops, and the star of the show is her go-to ingredient: wasabi. What’s hoppy? …Wasabi. The Japanese root adds bittering and herbal notes similar to hops, with its subtle heat creeping in after the kick of carbonation. It’s expansive from start to finish. So go ahead, take a sip, toss your head back, and howl at the red Rosabi moon.

Look for Dogfish Head Rosabi in 750 ml bottles and draft.

Style: Imperial IPA (w/ Wasabi, Japanese Root)
Availability: 750ml Bottles, Draft
Arrival: TBA

8% ABV

Check Out the New Dogfish Head Aprihop Label

Dogfish Head Brewery (Milton, DE) has unveiled a new artist drawn/inspired label for the spring’s Aprihop release.

This work of art is created by Jermaine Rodgers who has done work for bands like Radiohead. His passion, and unique artist skew attracted the attention of brewery founder Sam Calagione. With good reason after seeing this.

“The bunnies are one of the more recognized characters I’ve done. My wife and I originally intended to have no children, so we got some bunnies on a whim … so I would sit around sometimes and just draw them. I always liked the juxtaposition of drawing these cute little animals that are a little bit weird.

Dogfish Head Aprihop is the brewery’s seasonal IPA brewed with fresh apricots. A remember that one day it will be spring in this country.

Dogfish Head Namaste a 12oz Potential

One of Dogfish Head’s most quaffable beers, Namaste could be coming to 12oz bottles soon.

Namaste was first conceptualized in 2009.  Brewery founder Sam Calagione was travelling around Belgium with some other big names in American brewing (Tomme Arthur, Adam Avery, Rob Todd, Vinnie Ciluruzo.)  One of the Belgian destinations was 3 Fonteinen Brewery.  The Belgian home of geuze, lambics, blondes & more.  The brewers of 3 Fonteinen has a planned a trip to Delaware to visit Dogfish, but were forced to cancel when the brewery was met with “tragedy.”  A thermostat broke, ruining almost 100,000 bottles of aging Belgian beers.  That equates to nearly 1/3 of their total production.  Devastating at best.

Namaste was brewed with Leo from Birra del Borgo (same peeps as My Antonia) as a tribute to 3 Fonteinen.  It’s a Belgian white ale brewed with orange slices, fresh cut lemongrass, and coriander.  In 2010, production of Namaste was ramped up, and has been arriving in 750 ml bottles seasonally since.

Hopefully soon you won’t have to make the big bottle commitment.

Style: Witbier (w/ Lemongrass, Coriander, Oranges)
Taste Expectations: Lemon. Orange peel.  Citrus.  Wheat & spices.
Availability: 750ml wine bottles. Draft. (Currently)

7.5% ABV

Namaste: The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another. In other words it is a show of mutual respect and admiration – a great single word summary of the inspiration behind this brew
