Week 3: Dogfish Head Pangaea ABV 7%
Falling Waters graced us with this fine selection from everyone's perennial favorite brewery Dogfish Head. This brewery was named after a point in Maine, and if you asked anyone where Dogfish Head was, they would surely tell you about two feet from it's ass! In all seriousness, this is a solid brau, spicy, meaty, with tons of flavor. Mad scientist and Keanu Reeves stand-in Sam Calagione created this beer by incorporating ingredients from all seven continents, a homage to the all powerful super landmass that existed back in the days when Jesus rode dinosaurs. The Dogfish Head site suggests the beer be consumed with food. Since they're not specific as to "which" food, that leaves billions of possible pairings to choose from. Being a bit of an eccentric mad scientist myself, I paired this beer with a kale and garlic salad, 3 grain wild rice with apples and Panko encrusted woodcock and partridge breast sauteed in bacon grease. NOM NOM. Sam was right, this beer pairs well with any food. I finished the rest of the bottle in front of a fire and watched satellites buzz overhead, endlessly circling the fractured Pangaea below.
