Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Bruery & Dogfish Head Faster, Bigger, Better, Bolder
| User Rating: |
An interesting collab brew that, according to the DFH website, is suppose to strike a contrast between American “bigger is better” and Japanese tradition. In doing so this beer incorporates Kumquats, a medley of 7 spices called schichimi togarashi, and fermented with the help of sake yeast. I didn’t know exactly what these ingredients tasted like ...

Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine
| User Rating: |
Wow. Olde School is one huge beer. Read the beer facts to the right and you’ll see why. One of the reasons DFH was able to get the abv so high was though the addition of pureed dates and figs during the brewing process. Sam put an old cellar man’s trick of hanging dates and ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head Festina Peche
| User Rating: |
My third Berliner Weisse in the last few months comes in the form of Dogfish Head’s Festina Peche. While I was excited to sample another variation of this style, I was not sure how the addition of peach concentrate would complement the already enjoyable qualities of the Berliner Weisse style. Pouring vigorously into my glass ... [Read more]

If you know anything about Dogfish Head, you know that founder Sam Calagione isn’t just the most followed and photogenic of American craft brewers. Since founding his hugely popular brewing company in 1995, Sam has also established himself and his brand as innovative. And that may be putting it gently. If you’re a craft beer ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head Raison D’Être
| User Rating: |
In the world of beer, there are Belgians and there are Germans. In many ways, I like to think that this dichotomy can be used to characterize much of the beer world. Belgians are most notably understood in contrast to reserved brewing practices of their neighbors to the east. To understand Belgians, you need to ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head My Antonia
| User Rating: |
Tom: I brought a selection of beers over to my parent’s house to watch the Bears vs Packers regular season game some months back. Well, with the smell of my Mom baking chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I was lured away from the TV and decided to review some beer (5 minutes after the game started). A ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head Chicory Stout
| User Rating: |
Chicory Stout is one of Dogfish Head’s earliest recipes, first brewed by Sam Calagione in 1995 when the operation was a simple 10-gallon system. It’s one of the first of Dogfish Head’s ventures into the realm of eccentric recipes, a theme that has now become the norm for the Delaware-based brewer. Most people in the ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head Burton Baton
| User Rating: |
Michael: For me, winter is stout season. Last year, I spent three glorious months of cold searching out the finest stouts I could. As the snow flies this year and the liquor store shelves begin to fill with bottles of black liquid goodness, it was time for me to clear out my fridge and make ... [Read more]
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
| User Rating: |
Today is but a preview of what will be a bittersweet 5-day journey. Bitter, in that my family will be leaving me to wallow in my loneliness for several long, dark days. Sweet, in that those days will be jam-packed with reviewing beer. As an aperitif to this brew-tasting-bonanza that begins tomorrow, I have chosen ... [Read more]
