Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale has joined the brewery’s “Occasionals” lineup in July, 2016. The beer will follows recently released Biere de Provence, and Flesh & Blood.
This new tart ale is actually three different styles of beer that come together in one union. SeaQuench starts as a traditional kolsch, a salt-forward gose that is brewed with black limes and sea salt, and a Berliner Weisse brewed with lime juice and peel. The three beers were blended together during fermentation, resulting in a mixed, session sour ale.
Why? This is Dogfish Head’s “off-centered” way of rebelling against the now 500 year old Reinheitsgebot, aka “The German Purity Law.”
Three styles blissfully brewed in sequence for a citrusy-tart union, our hybrid sour quencher is brewed with lime peel, black limes, and sea salt.
Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale is brewed in collaboration with the National Aquarium. Dogfish Head has already started various conservation efforts to help preserve local Chesapeake Bay.
