Theobroma

 
Availability: 
Limited

This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions.  The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC.  As per the analysis, Dogfish Head’s Theobroma (translated into 'food of the gods') is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds).

Theobroma is our newest beer-- an ancient recipe from Honduras. 100% organic cotton tee. Theobroma means "Food of the Gods". This 100% organic cotton tee is a shirt for the gods! Showing off the original artwork by Spusta on both front and back, you look great coming and going! DFH logo on the right sleeve. Natural color....

Seems like a flurry of Occasional and hard-to-find Dogfish is hitting the shelves and taps in the next month or so. Since we sometimes stray from our 2009 Release Schedule (hey, we're off-centered) Here's a preview for you!...
