BeerAdvocate & Dogfish Head to Brew Collaborative Extreme Beer<\/strong>
\nby Frank Bennett<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beer to Be Named by BeerAdvocate.com Members and Served at the 2009 Extreme Beer Fest in BostonPlanet Earth<\/strong> (December 4, 2008) – Typically, beer is brewed with four base ingredients (water, malt, hops, and yeast) and beer styles tightly frame the brewer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s art with restrictive captions. Historically, breaking out of these frames was taboo, subject to fine, imprisonment, death, or even worse\u00e2\u20ac\u201ca beer not being called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153beer!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

With raised pints-n-hand and a mission to challenge and change palates, BeerAdvocate founders and brothers Jason and Todd Alstr\u00c3\u00b6m will once again showcase creative brewers and beers that push the boundaries of brewing at their sixth annual Extreme Beer Fest in Boston, Massachusetts. The weekend of palate smacking will occur on February 20 & 21, 2009, featuring Night of the Barrels on Friday (all wood-aged beers) and Sessions One & Two (over 100 extreme beers) on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The fest will also be fortified by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery out of Milton, Delaware, who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the official beer sponsor and one of over 30 participating brewers. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve built our reputation for brewing extreme, exotic, extraordinary beers by willfully, purposefully, passionately thumbing our noses at pseudo-tradition,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Sam Calagione, founder and president of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Beers have been brewed with exotic and indigenous ingredients around the world since the dawn of civilization. This is beer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true tradition that Dogfish has celebrated since we opened.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re definitely on the same planet as Sam,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d added Todd Alstr\u00c3\u00b6m. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been individually spearheading the extreme beer movement for years now, but together we plan to raise the bar by challenging brewers and palates, daring them, to explore something different. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be nothing less than epic.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Speaking of raising the bar, the Alstr\u00c3\u00b6m Brothers are scheduled to brew a limited release beer on December 9 with Sam Calagione and Lead Brewer Bryan Selders at the original Dogfish Head brewpub on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The beer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s creation and progress will be tracked and discussed online, named by BeerAdvocate.com members via a competition, served exclusively at the Extreme Beer Fest, and discussed during an education seminar.<\/p>\n

THE BEER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by a shared love and respect for America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s extreme beer movement, Italy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s emerging craft beer scene, and the kitchen sink attitude and devilish drinkability found in Belgian brewing, the collaborative recipe is the result of numerous emails and phone calls discussing the ingredients, final characteristics, and new ways to look at extreme brewing. Jason, Todd, Sam, and Bryan each provided unique spins to ensure maximum off-centeredness and deliciousness.<\/p>\n
