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.
