I seem to only drink Kirin at sushi restaurants so I don't expect to rushing out for it. However, if this was available for my favorite beer then I might give it a try.

While I like the 90 minute IPA, I think that the 120 minute IPA might make a better beer slushie (if you could get it to freeze smoothly).

And completely crush the flavor of the beer in the process. If you don't like hops, why pay 12 dollars a bottle for this beer.

Some craft brewers are printing a recommended serving temperature, which I think is a great idea.

I seriously doubt that if the owner of Lake Louie caught one of his employees enjoying the latest concoction from Dogfish Head that there would be any problem. People who make beer know how to enjoy and appreciate beer, even if they didn't make it.

Maybe you meant those companies advertise beer but actually bottle alcoholic horse urine? Since Budweiser and Miller both bottle the same thing, I could see why they might get a little upset if one of their employees was drinking horse urine from the other company.

I like their Dogfish Head's 9000 year old beer recipe a lot more, and not just because it's older. You should be able to find some here and there at the moment .. it is "in season". Don't get me wrong, I just had a bottle of Theobroma, it is very good too!

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA is delicious at 18%. Flying Dog Double Dog double IPA is fantastically hoppy at 11.5% if you want something weaker. Stone Brewery's Double Bastard (amazing brewery) is a fantastic American Strong Ale at 10.5%. 120 minute: http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/occassional-rarities/120-minute-ipa.htm Double Dog: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/68/35754 Double Bastard: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/147/1056

I followed a few links and discovered Dogfish Head originally published this beer in June of 2008. Its called "Theobroma".

The blog article in question was just written in May, so I'm assuming he either got an old bottle or the brewers did another production run. I'm going to ask my local dogfish head distributor about it next time I go in and hopefully he can track some down for me.

It goes on retail every July, according to their schedule. Here is a map of the retail locations, all in Delaware.

Liquor de Malt

It's actually around 20% abv. Way to go on downing four, champ! That's the rough equivalent of sixteen light beers. Also, I would love to get it for 3$ a bottle. The single bottle on my desk that I've been aging for almost a year now still taunts me with its $8.99 price tag! And that was purchased IN Delaware, where I live. Perhaps you were drinking the 90? Certainly a tenable theory considering you had four in a row!

Plus, it's mighty tasty

Several of the Special Dark bars are sold in the impulse-buy areas at the Krogers here in Blacksburg, VA. You're talking about the kind that comes either with or without cranberries, blueberries, and almonds, right?

Judging from the comments in this article, I've got no taste in chocolate, but I really like those. I don't care for milk chocolate, so I wouldn't know if there was a good one out there. I rarely buy good chocolate since it's kinda pricey and not terribly good for my weight =) Plus, I need the financial and caloric budget to drink good beer.

I work as a Sous Chef in a French Restaurant in Seattle. We do get many of our cheese's imported from France of Italy but there are some very good American cheeses. Some people complain that American cheese isn't as good as French cheese but it is just not true. It is just as good only different. Italian cheese is not the same as French cheese but most people assume European cheese is all good. I taste test different cheeses for the restaurant and I have had some very bad European cheese. The same goes for wine or beer. American gourmet food tastes different but that is a good thing. We wouldn't want to try and beat the French at making French cheese, that would not work. Instead American producers create their own style that has come around to much acclaim for example in the wine world.

You can find many great food and drink producers all over America. You can't say that Australia doesn't have any good beer just because Foster's is from there.I wont list any wineries because that is one topic that IS covered very well. A short list of companies I recommend follows:

Dogfish Head Brewery (my favorite beers)
Redhook Ale Brewery
Fish Tale Ales (organic beers)
Stone Brewing Co.

Juniper Grove Farm
Rogue Creamery (excellent blue cheese)

Is this a true beer? I don't know, but it's brewed by an extremely respected brewery and I can't wait to try the 750 mL bottle in my fridge.

I brought a bottle home from a recent trip and took it to a meeting of the local homebrew club last Friday. It got very favorable comments from everyone who tried it. As long as you don't go in expecting it to taste like anything you've had before, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I even think people who say they don't like beer might like it, but such a product is better off not wasted on them. :-)

RICE is NOT a Beer ingredient!

I would argue otherwise. I say anything can be a beer ingredient as long as it tastes good. The German Reinheitsgebot (purity law) which limits the ingredients in beer has been noted to have stymied beer development in Germany as far as creativity goes. Is this a true beer? I don't know, but it's brewed by an extremely respected brewery and I can't wait to try the 750 mL bottle in my fridge.

You can find good domestic and imported beers easily enough here in New Jersey. You don't nessecarily have to go with imported, though - not all American beer is bad. My favorite brewery, Dogfish Head, is American. They make some seriously good ales.

One of my favorite breweries already does this. Dogfish head's Chicory Stout is pretty decent.

From the URL:
"A dark beer made with a touch of roasted chicory, organic Mexican coffee, St. John's Wort, and licorice root."

I'd hope that the patent office would at least bother doing some research.

Midas Touch is made by Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware. It's an interesting drink, hard to catagorize.

More info can be found on their web site:

I don't think there's any significant amount of caffeine in it, but Dogfish Head's coffee-containing Chicory Stout is pretty tasty.

Try the old 120 minute IPA or WorldWide Stout from Dogfish Head, 21% and 23% abv respectively.

There's a rather good explanation for this. Not that I'm defending it, but rather explaining it to understand it and adress it at the root cause.

Prohibition was a scary time for Americans, particularly breweries - most of which went out of business. Prohibition was created by women marching in the streets, complaining that their husbands had become drunks in the saloons. Who could blame them - during the depression, there weren't many jobs to keep them occupied.

When prohibition was repealed, the breweries wanted to create beer that would appeal to women, so that they would become consumers and not vote again for prohibition. So they made their beers lighter, and specialized in the lager field that they felt was more approachable for those who weren't accustomed to drinking beer.

Sadly, America's beer development was stuck on training wheels until about the 80s, when certain individuals started experimenting with brewing their own. This launched a movement where people started becoming more interested in flavor rather than just getting drunk.

In case you haven't been to this side of the pond recently, there are many wonderful breweries that severly stomp on most European breweries which are stuck doing things the way they did around the time that America was discovered. I'd highly reccomend checking out some of these breweries:

• Stone Brewing Company
• Dogfish Head whose specialty is the 90 minute IPA
• Rogue, nearly everything they make is a champ
• Michigan Brewing Company
• Bell's Brewery
