Nov 26 : Dogfish Head / Sierra Nevada : Life & Limb from New Brew Thursday on Vimeo.
This week we enjoy the collaborative brew “Life & Limb” from Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada brewing companies. We pair it with some cooked pork, and stuffed mushrooms made for us by the lovely Yvonne!
We talk about collaboration, breweries staying fresh in a fickle market, where to buy to beer you may not have in your area, and where to go for great beer if you happen to find yourself in Sioux Falls.
We also suggest a few ideas for what you might pair up a large family dinner with, including this particular beer.
We give some love to [ Bruisin' Ales ] who is doing the lords work by shipping beer to thirsty craft beer geeks all over the nation.
I also tell a little about flying out to South Dakota to hang out with [ Omar] from [ Surly Brewing Company ] at the Darkness Release party thrown by [ Monk's House of Ale Repute ]! On a side note… if you are in the midwest, I highly recommend that you make the drive to Monk’s at least once. It is such a great environment and the staff is incredibly awesome!

Nov 19 : Double Bastard Ale filmed on location at Stone Brewing Co. from New Brew Thursday on Vimeo.
Last week was [ San Diego Beer Week ], and if you missed the greatest 9 days in San Diego history, you can catch a glimpse of how awesome it was from this weeks episode of New Brew Thursday!
We stopped down to the Stone Brewing Company to enjoy a 10 year vertical tasting of Double Bastard. It was pretty incredible. While we were there, we sat with [ Dr. Bill Sysak ] in the [ World Bistro & Gardens ] and enjoyed a 09 vintage of Double Bastard, along with special pairings from the Dr. himself. The best pairing was the Wild Boar ribs, but we also had some stinky cheese, and crab cakes.
We discuss the beer, of course, but also craft beer, slow food, Cicerone, and how you can be an advocate for craft beer.
So, grab a bottle of Double Bastard, crack it open, sit back and enjoy the show!
