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.

The Wait Is Over. Sierra Nevada Barrel Aged Bigfoot Arrives

It is here. Sierra Nevada’s Barrel Aged Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale. The buzz around this beer has been mounting for months now. Over a beer with Sierra Nevada brewer Terrance Sullivan last  year, he made the barrel aged plans known to Beer Street Journal. We’ve been drooling ever since. 2013 Bigfoot joins the fray.

Our Bigfoot Barleywine is a craft beer legend. Each winter, this beast of a beer appears and wreaks havoc on unsuspecting palates with its intense bittersweet flavors. This year–in honor of the 30th Anniversary of this style-bending brew– we’re releasing a very special version of this cult classic: Aged in oak whiskey casks for nearly two years, this barrel-aged Bigfoot is incredibly complex. The assault of resinous hops has mellowed, and the influence of the wood has shifted focus toward the malt–with rich burnt-sugar flavors and notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, and raisins. Grab this elusive beast while you can, because it won’t be around for long. 

Style: Barleywine (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 750 ml bottles, Corked & Caged.

12.2% ABV
