Bitches Brew

Dogfish Head Brewery rarely disappoints. They offer some greats: 60 Minute IPA, Punkin Ale, Chicory Stout, Sah'tea, Theobroma... the list goes on. The Discovery Channel has a new series about the brewery located close by in Milton, DE. Sam Calagione and crew are filmed developing some of their more experimental brews. So far the show is decent except for the rapping. The first one told how the limited edition Bitches Brew came to be.

I got a chance to try one over the summer at Eulogy and loved it, but didn't start craving it till watching the episode. A lot of others must've been enticed too, which is why it took some searching to find. A couple bottles were finally secured by Jen from the Foodery. There was also a duck beast from the Reading Terminal in the fridge and an Eagles game tonight. End result was surprisingly easy to make and paired nicely with a win. I couldn't resist taking some shots:



This was insanely good! I think the secret to cooking duck is letting it get crispy skin-side down in a frying pan prior to roasting. Is it possible to brew with duck fat? Just kidding... sort of. Of course the night wouldn't be complete without a home brew. The Death by Dunkel was ready and tasting great:


It goes without saying, but if you've never heard Miles Davis' Bitches Brew do yourself a favor and give it a listen ;)
