After reading The Dogs of Beer review of the Dogfish Head Sixty-One, I just knew that I had to try it, so when I finally saw it on the shelves (it was in the last place I looked. Funny how that works), I immediately picked up a bottle […]
I can already hear these words coming out of the mouths of traditional beer drinkers everywhere: “STOP FRUITING UP MY BEER!”. While I can understand someone’s aversion to trying a beer with the words “Malt Beverage Brewed with Peach Concentrate” printed on the label, I am of the […]
