The Draught Report

hi folks. sorry i missed last week. However this week i'm gonna tell you about Dogfish Head. Right now they have an Apricot IPA. i gotta say this is a very good beer. its still the good ole 60 min IPA but with just a little apricot sweetness. Don't let that turn you away though. Its not a fruity beer, its an IPA with a little extra flavor. If you like IPA's your gonna love this one. its not necessarily a dessert beer as it goes with A LOT of different foods. i like it with fish or even steak. it goes well with light tasting food as well as bold tasting foods. it has a uniqueness about it that lends good refreshing flavor but not overpowering the flavors of what your eating. its good by itself as well. if you can find it at your local quick six get it. you can even get a case for only 30 - 40 dollars. well worth it though as it will keep for a while. try and find a place that has it on tap and you will drink a very nice tasting beer. Dogfish Head has put out a good variety of brews in the past. The collaborate with Sierra Nevada and Stone Brewing for some really good brews. Stop at your local bar and grill and pick up a copy of "Mid-Atlantic Brewing News". you can find some very useful information on Brewing and different kinds of beer. They also list different Brew fest's going on around the region, so you can find out a lot about the world of beer in that circular. Speaking of Sierra Nevada, they will be putting out 4 different brews this year the last of which will be there 30th anniversary brew containing 4 different beer recipes. it'll be a stout from what i understand since there very first brew was a stout. there calling it "30th Anniversary". coming out around October. I cant wait either. I like a good stout now and then. Wolavers makes a good Oatmeal Stout. But try and find it on tap. Very good stout. Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is also very good but harder to find. Very creamy and not to bitter. Anyway there's my recommendations for this week. Next week i plan to tell you about some "not-so-good" brews that i have tried lately. Should prove to be interesting. And as always if you do try any of my recommended brews PLEASE!!!! enjoy them responsibly. Take care :)
