Dogfish Head have the world a sneak preview of the “Savor Flowers” bottle today. Flowers is a collaboration brew between Sam Adams’s Jim Koch & Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head. Flowers will only be available at Savor in Washington D.C. in June.
Savor Flowers is brewed with dried red & white rose petals, plus 2 other kinds of roses. The hops are experimental, known only by a name “369.” As if the beer needed to be a bit MORE unique, this floral offering is aged in a special whiskey barrel dear to Jim Koch, one he aged a triple bock in back in the ’90s.
Total production is limited to 30 barrels.

Savor Releases Beer & Food Line up
2 of the world’s top chefs. 70 craft brewers. Together you get some the the most mouthwatering pairings under one roof. The chefs are Adam Duyle from Monk’s Kettle in San Francisco, CA. The other – Teddy Folkman of Granville Moore Gastropub in Washington, D.C.
Check out the list to see the chef’s notes on food/beer pairings, including 21st Amendment, Alaskan Brewing Company, Avery , Dogfish Head, Deschutes, Boulevard, Nebraska Brewing & many more. Even if you aren’t going to Savor, read the list. Get some ideas. Example from Troeg’s pairing:
Flying Mouflan (Barleywine)
Paired w/ Hickory-Smoked Beef Riblet
As Troegs likens this beer to hops dipped in candy sugar rolled in cocoa nibs we can think of nothing better than beefy fatty ribs dipped in peach and rolled in smoke.
Troegenator (Dopplebock)
Paired w/ New York Style Cheesecake
Dark fruits and toffee add another layer to the cheesecake while the boozy finish cleans the creaminess right up

Savor Flowers
Looks like there might beer some bottles of the Sam Adams/Dogfish Head collaboration for Savor – “Savor Flowers.” The beautiful label carries a Brewer’s Association logo on for the backside of the bottle. Pure speculation, the bottles will be distributed to the BA members, VIP attendees to Savor, and brewery employees.
Savor Flowers is brewed with dried red & white rose petals, plus 2 other kinds of roses. The hops are experimental, known only by a name “369.” As if the beer needed to be a bit MORE unique, this floral offering is aged in a special whiskey barrel dear to Jim Koch, one he aged a triple bock in back in the ’90s.
Total production is limited to 30 barrels. Debuts at Savor in Washington D.C. in June.

Dogfish Head & Sam Adams Go Flowery
To cut straight to the point, Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head Brewing & Jim Koch of Boston Beer Company are collaborating. Sam made a trip this week up to Boston, MA for the brew day.
The resulting beer will only see the light of day at Savor in Washington D.C. in June. According to the Wall Street Journal the beer has a name – “Savor Flowers” as it’s brewed with dried red & white rose petals, plus 2 other kinds of roses. The hops are experimental, known only by a name “369.” As if the beer needed to be a bit MORE unique, this floral offering is aged in a special whiskey barrel dear to Jim Koch, one he aged a triple bock in back in the ’90s. Food Republic is reporting that Koch also added “a tincture –or extraction – that he [Koch] has nicknamed WTF, which smells and tastes a lot like lavender.” Later, this WTF was revealed to also contain hibiscus & jasmine.
Total production is only 30 barrels, and only the lucky few that got tickets to Savor (before or after the server meltdown) will get to try it. <Food Republic>
