Ancient Beers
- aliston 16y agoIs this even technically a beer? I know that there are beers made with rice (like Budweiser), but they are still barley-based. In Germany, this would definitely not be considered a beer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot Still... I'm a pretty big fan of Dogfish as well, so I give them credit for trying something new.
- dmm 16y ago> In Germany, this would definitely not be considered a beer. Germany may be a more diverse place than you're aware. The Reignheitsgebot originated in Bavaria and was a condition of the German unification in 1871. However, many areas of Germany have long traditions of non-Reignheitsgebot beers, for example, wheat beers and spiced beers in northern Germany.
- wyclif 16y agoDogfish Head (the brewery) is right here in little 'ol Delaware. Even if it weren't my hometown microbrewery of choice and there was no bias, I think I'd still be a fan after trying their line of IPAs.
- timcederman 16y agoDogfish Head is well known for their crazy beers. One of my favourites is the Midas Touch, not mentioned in the article, but one of the first attempts at recreating ancient beers.
