The first night of the Great American Beer Fest was a blast! The line of happy beer lovers at our booth just before the first session started was just the beginning.
Getting GABF started!
When I wrote the business plan to open Dogfish Head in 1994, I wrote about the off-centered approach we would take to brewing and that we would explore the full breadth of potential culinary ingredients in our brewing recipes. It was hard for us selling these beer in the mid and late 90's as there wasn't any real market for beers outside of recognizable stylistic context.
Now it's a different story. We sell hundreds of thousands if cases of culinary-centric beers like Midas Touch and Raison D'etre. The most popular beers at our booth last night were
1) Choc Lobster (first keg to kick) brewed with Akinosie chocolate nibs, roasted barley and 40 Maine lobsters thrown into the boil.
2) Noble Rot: a sort of Saison brewed with 49 percent fermentable sugars coming from botrytis infected Viognier grapes and Pinot Gris.
3) Hot Thoup! A pale ale fermented with carrot juice and ginger served warm at 80 degrees through a Randall packed with carrots and cilantro.
It was so much fun for me and my co-workers to serve these beers last night and see how excited and adventurous beer drinkers have become. To borrow a line from Mos Def: LIFE IN MARVELOUS TIMES.
(our fearless leader) writes about his latest travels and off-centered plans for all of us.
I'm a wine lover and it all started when a friend of mine invited me at her birthday party. Lots of delicious foods and wines were served and I almost over drunk! :D

So happy you continue to brew beers with a a nod to the culinary side! As if creating beer dinners were not fun enough!
cant wait to get my hands and lips on some Choc Lobster! I'm thinking lobster empanada with Choc Lobster Molé
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase come to Brazil. We need a beer like Dogfish (here).

That's great! You must have had a blast with all of them.
As I sit here enjoying a Burton Baton, while watching my DVD copy of the Discovery Channel's Brew Masters series yet again, I yearn to see a Dogfish Head showing at the next Epcot International Food & Wine Festival event here in Orlando, Florida.
As a long-time connoisseur, I'd be only too happy for the potential opportunity to significantly further your very much burgeoning southern U.S. region presence, Sam.
Love this post! Had the Hot Thoup! as an exclusive at the Brewpub - love the cilantro Randallization.
I'm def intrigued by the choc lobster too. Bring that to the Brewpub this winter!
