Beer today is nothing like beer from the middle ages, they didn't have hops, so they used thing like oak leaves and other strange ingredients that they could find locally. I'm sure most wasn't that great! Really cool story, I never heard before. I brewed a beer I called whiskey barrel stout, It was to copy an old stout that use to be fermented in old whiskey barrels. I added sterilized oak chips to the fermenter and a cup of whiskey to the bottling bucket for 5 gal. It was really good when young, but as it aged, the oak faded and the whiskey was more pronounced. I gave some to a guy that worked at the American Home Brew Association in Boulder, they really liked it.

I love the Great American Beer Festival, our brew club rented a local bus called Foam On The Range, they did local brew tours, took us to Denver with two other clubs, and we had two kegs on the bus in built in kegaretors. Dropped us right out front, I got to work the home brew booth with Charlie Papazian, author of Joy Of Home Brewing, he was a nice gut. Meet Michale Jackson, the beer and whiskey critic, he was really weird! 1500 different beers, we had a blast!


Bet there was a long line at the restroom, too.   :drink:

Great post on the history of Dogfish Mike - I feel like I've read a book !

Don't know if it gets shipped over here. I'll have to have a look about.

A land of plenty...the recent deluge of micro brews had only been a good thing for us swillers...not all are top notch but there many that are quite good...even a few in Florida, mostly quite light lagers but not the beer for the masses, which when served frigidly cold and most importantly, FREE , it good too...

Now you are talking in beer language extraordinaire. This is my second favourite beer in all the World (so far). Let me know how it goes cos I'm not sure how well it travels.

Last time it was EXCELLENT, Nige.  Would assume it has at least 2 weeks of age on it, considering distribution time, but all in all was very pleasant.  Hope it's still there....

Nige, when I bought it it was pretty good, buy it was over 8 months old. No advertising, so not much demand, I'm sure it better over there. Maybe I'll find out some day if I can get Vicki to fly across the pond.
