With a little inspiration from our pals at Pallet magazine and a passage from Romeo and Juliet, we bring you Twenty Cunning Cooks! This saison was brewed with quinces and dates to provide a counterbalance to the doughy Maris Otter malt and flaked oats used in its mash bill. A Belgian ale yeast strain adds spicy notes and Jarrylo and Calypso hops lend fruity hop aromas of apple and pear.

The superhero force of brewers at Dogfish collaborated on a a refreshing beer for the hot weather. Mint Berry Crunch is a Belgian-style golden ale fermented with blueberries, spearmint and holy basil. The result is juicy and tart with a very light herbal notes. 

SHABLAGOO!

We combined 2-row, crystal malt and flaked barley with mango nectar. Then we threw in a generous helping of Mosaic, Galaxy and Equinox hops. The result is an assertive IPA that is juicy, dank and resinous for the tropical hophead in you.

Reminds us of a wheat beer without traditional wheat. Brewed with pilsner and spelt malts along with grapefruit peels. The aroma begins with bready notes and as it warms up the grapefruit becomes more pronounced. Low bitterness with a citrus grapefruity finish.

Just in time for summer, this beer fuses a hoppy American pale ale with a traditional Belgian-style witbier made with malted wheat, flaked oats, oranges and corriander. A big dose of Citra and HBC438 dry hops bring big tropical notes to complement the Belgian yeast character.

We combined boatloads of Red Delicious apple cider from our pals at Fifer Orchards with a dose of mulling spices: Saigon cinnamon, star anise, cloves and sweet orange peel. Then we fermented it with a base of 2-row malt, malted wheat and flaked oats using a spicy saison yeast. The result is fruity, slightly tart with just a hint of spice.

Porter by Proxy is a celebration of the ersatz. We're talking a mocha porter made without coffee or chocolate. We used a World War II-era coffee substitute recipe of roasted grains and chicory root. Then we mixed in toasted carob pods, aka "hippie chocolate," with some Madagascar vanilla beans to provide a choco-licious kick.

Loral is a pale IPA brewed to feature the newest named hop variety from the Pacific Northwest. Formerly known as HBC-291, this hop provides floral and citrus notes, as well as some dark fruit to the aroma and flavor of this beer. We used a very simple base beer of 2-row, malted wheat and flaked oats to complement the soft character of this brand new hop

Our buddies at John I Hass hops sent us a care package of some experimental hops, so we figured we would unleash them on the fans! This beer starts with a simple pale base of 2-row, flaked barley and flaked oats.  Then, we fermented with a neutral ale yeast strain because this one is all about the hops.  HBC-438 was used in the kettle and as dry hops, lending big notes of peach, pineapple and lime to this uber tropical pale ale.
