Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer 10.0% ABV 10 IBU Dogfish will use bronze, Baladin will use wood, and Birra del Borgo will use terra cotta. A handful of whole-flower hops are added, but the bulk of the bitterness comes from gentian root and the sarsaparilla-like Ethiopian myrrh resin.īirra del Borgo and Baladin also will brew a version of Birra Etrusca, and to add complexity and variety, each brewery will ferment its batches with different traditional materials. Specialty ingredients include hazelnut flour, pomegranates, Italian chestnut honey, Delaware wildflower honey and clover honey. The backbone of Birra Etrusca comes from two-row malted barley and an heirloom Italian wheat.
"Ingredients are often tough to track down, and there can be financial and logistical challenges, but we really love embracing these risks to bring these beers to market."
"In every part of the process, we go for as much authenticity as we can," Calagione says. With the help of Birreria Brother Brewers Leo DeVencenzo of Birra del Borgo and Teo Musso of Baladin, they analyzed drinking vessels found in 2,800-year-old Etruscan tombs.Īlthough Italian historians were a little reluctant to admit it, the team clearly found that the Etruscans had a taste for ale. To develop the recipe for Birra Etrusca Bronze, Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione traveled to Rome with molecular archaeologist Dr. This Ancient Ale proves that beside the wine on every Italian's dinner table, there should also be a place for beer. Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer 8.5% ABV 11 IBU Wayne said, "I thought that by aging the beer in bourbon barrels I would get flavors and aromas that would really hold their own, but also not overpower an already complex style of beer." Wayne had some bourbon barrels that he'd picked up a while ago and had never used them so he figured that he'd give them a whirl with this beer. He came up with the idea by trying to find something off-centered that would complement one of his favorite beer styles (Belgian Dubbel). The beer was the brainchild of Dogfish brewer Wayne Milford. The beer has been aging in the barrels for over a month and has really come together nicely. The Bourbon barrels will add notes of oak, bourbon, vanilla and caramel that will really complement the the maltiness of the beer. It's a very balanced malty beer that uses Belgian Pilsner, Biscuit, Munich, Special B, and Vienna malts, as well as Belgian Candi Sugar in the recipe. Alter Boy is a Belgian Dubbel that is being aged in Bourbon barrels, it will be 7% alc.
