Democratic Primary Debate at WGBH: Transcript Time!
Attention all Dogfish Head fans! Tonight Redbones is putting on a Dogfish extravaganza: 10 kegs and one cask on tap! That’s a lot of Dogfish. The event will be held in the Underbones bar, with a cash bar and free appetizers from 5 to 7 pm. It’s being billed as a “pre-fest” to the American Craft Beer Fest this weekend. And don’t worry if you can’t make the party; there will be Dogfish Head all weekend long.
Not a Dogfish fan? Well, you should be. The company started in 1995 as Delaware’s first brewpub. Now they are one of the best-known craft breweries in the country and have 20 brews to their name. Dogfish Head is known for being one of the most adventurous (if not the most) brewery in the States. Their motto is “off-centered ales, for off-centered people.” This gives you a hint at what their beer list looks like.
They may be best known for their high-powered IPAs, but they are world-renowned for their willingness to bring innovative beers to the table and to tackle outlandish challenges. An innovative beer that should be coming back out into the market soon is the Sah’tea. The Sah’tea is a “modern update on a 9th century Finnish proto-beer.” If that doesn’t pique your curiosity then consider that it is brewed with, among other ingredients, rye, juniper berries (from Finland!), and tea.
More Dogfish after the break!

A challenge Dogfish took on resulted in a successful beer on the market year-round: Midas Touch. This beer was brewed from the oldest-known recipe for a fermented beverage. An archeologist found a vessel in King Midas’s tomb, determined the ingredients, then challenged brewers to brew the drink. The archeologist determined Dogfish’s was the best.
To get some first-hand knowledge of the Dogfish Head experience, try Redbones’ fest tonight, 5 to 7pm at the Underbones bar.
