Final Ingredient Selected for Dogfish American Beauty

After nearly 1500 submissions to Dogfish Head’s American Beauty contest (beer inspired by the Grateful Dead) a winner has been selected. The winner, Thomas Butler, shared the story of his first Dead concert involving his dad throwing him over the fence to skirt admission, wet t-shirt clad ladies, and shared ‘cigarettes’ as well as he and his father’s love of brewing beer. His ingredient suggestion? Granola.

Granola as it was a staple ingredient in many shared parking lot meals at Dead shows. Plus the components of granola make for a great addition to beer. In May, Thomas will join Sam and Grateful Dead audiovisual archivist David Lemieuxbrew a test batch of American Beauty with granola.

The production batch is expected to hit taps and shelves throughout Dogfish’s 27-state distribution network in October 2013.

Style: Imperial Pale Ale (w/ Granola)
Availability: 22oz bottles
Arrival: October 2013

Metal Collaboration: Cigar City & GWAR

Another in the line of metal inspired brews is Cigar City Brewing & GWAR’s Impaled Pale Ale. For those of you that don’t know, GWAR is a satirical metal band founded in Virginia in the 1980’s. They are pretty damn metal.

Well hold on to your souls. GWAR has teamed up with Tampa’s Cigar City Brewing for a new liquid track. Impaled Pale Ale will be brewed this summer we’re told, and canned for the GWAR-B-Q festival in Richmond, Virginia this August. Tickets for that go on sale June 6th.

Sierra Nevada & Boulevard Bring Back Terra Incognita

After collaborating on Terra Incognito for SAVOR, Sierra Nevada and Boulevard Brewing have decided to give it another go for the public. This brown ale is heavily hopped with 45% of it aging in old wine foudres and 30% in whiskey barrels for nearly 3 months.

The end product is then bottled with Brettanomyces. 5,200 cases will be released throughout Boulevard’s 25 state distribution network. A 2014 version is already in the works to be distributed in Sierra Nevada’s distribution.

“We tried to create a beer that would highlight the strengths of each brewery — for us, our use of wild yeast and barrel aging, and for Sierra Nevada, their hop-centric talent and homegrown ingredients. It turned out so well we felt it was only right to make more and share it.” Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels
