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.

No Boys Allowed for this Beer at Brewdog

In response to the continual sidelining of women in the craft beer industry, the ladies of Brewdog decided to take matters into their own hands. On January 28th only the women staff will be locking themselves in and brewing a beer “worthy of any BrewDog tap … a secret recipe for a beer we’d love to drink”

The ladies of Brewdog, or #BrewBirds, have decided to make 2013 the year women begin to take the helms of craft brewing.

“We are tired of being told that our beverage of choice is not for us, of being offered a mediocre wheat beer with a slice of orange when we ask at the bar what beer they’d recommend.” Preach ladies!
