Asteroids

If I had to pick a brewery to pair with film director Wes Anderson, Dogfish Head would certainly make the short list.  

The latest Anderson movie is Asteroid City and Calagione and crew have “brewed with regeneratively grown pilsner malt, Tuxpeno corn malt and Zuper Saazer hops for subtle notes of savory corn and a whiff of wild blossoms and herbs, Asteroid City Lager was then finished with a mid-20th century Pennsylvania lager yeast as a nod to the 1950s era during which “Asteroid City” takes place.”

You can find the beer at Alamo Draft Houses showing the flick.  Maybe movies should get signature beers.
