Dogfish Head beers finally available in the Bay Area
Got a pleasant surprise this morning when I opened my inbox and found a note from the Toronado. Normally it’s a pleasant surprise when I don’t get an email that isn’t spam but it’s always more fun when it’s beer-related. Here’s the email in it’s lengthy entirety.
Monday April 21st 6:00pm
Dogfishead Kickoff Party for distribution in
Northern California at the Toronado.
We will have 6 beers on draught and Sam
the founder will be in attendance. See you there
Cheers
David
According to William Brand, this won’t be your regular beer tapping/unveiling/kegging event as they’ll be pairing the Dogfish Head beers with cheese. I’ve done my own experiments with beer and cheese and found some combinations more successful than others so it’s always fun to see what other people are doing.
Dogfish Head, not unlike Russian River Brewing Company, is one of the few breweries that have the title “Destination Brewery” thrown at them on occasion. Not having tried any of their beers, I can’t honestly comment on that. Still, if they live up to their reputation, I am in for a treat. Unfortunately, Dogfish Head will only be distributed in San Francisco, Marin and Sonoma so sampling them will be an adventure unto itself.
I’m currently Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione’s book Brewing up a Business and will review that here when I finish. He also has a new book out, He Said Beer, She Said Wine, that compares and contrasts beer/food pairings with wine/food pairings. It looks like a must read for the “staff” here at BetterBeerBlog and I’ll be picking that up soon as well. Now I just have to convince the wife to take a half day off on Monday to go up.
In addition, this month is Belgian Beer Month at the Toronado so expect to find a wide variety of Belgian beers on tap. Always an experience at Toronado.
