Dogfish Head and Craftbar NY are teaming up to bring you an inspired night of Ancient Ales and modern cuisine.
Since 1999, Dogfish Head has worked closely with molecular archaeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern to bring ancient brewing history back to life. The resulting Ancient Ales transport modern beer connoisseurs to a time when brewers were unencumbered by purity laws, style rules and bottom lines.
Juniper berries, chai, cocoa nibs, ancho chilies, muscat grapes, saffron and honey are some of the unique ingredients that flavor these Ancient Ales and make them perfect for food pairings.
