Beer Infinity Beer, Brewing & Beyond
|
Over the past couple of years I have noticed a newish trend in brewing: adding grape juice to beer. With meads there has long been the Pyment (a hybrid between honey-wine and regular grape wine), but this is a relatively recent idea in the craft brew scene. Dogfish head probably pioneered this in the states with several of their experimental archaeological reconstructions, but Belgian sour producer Cantillon has been doing this for some time as well. I managed to find a few of these beers this summer and wrote up this post at the time. I had planned on posting this some time ago but it fell by the wayside. I have now added a few more reviews and plan to do a second posting when I get through more of them!
Dogfish Head 61 Minute: This is a 6.5% ABV pale ale brewed with the addition of Syrah grape must. I picked this up as a single at Cassanova in Hudson, WI. Poured into the appropriate Dogfish Head Riedel IPA glass. |
