Review – Liquid Breadfruit from Maui Brewing & Dogfish Head

Time to video review another beer and we head to Maui Brewing for their Liquid Breadfruit collaboration with Dogfish Head.

Here is part of the description from the brewery, “Dogfish Head superstar – Sam Calagione, will be our fearless collaborator! The result – a beer-epiphany never before innovated called Liquid Breadfruit!

To celebrate the cornucopia of a Maui-grown harvest, we will ingeniously combine local breadfruit (or ulu) & toasted papaya seeds into the recipe of an imperial golden ale fermented using Dogfish Head’s DNA ( Delaware-Native-Ale) yeast.”

I can Pickle That!


This was not inspired by the Portlandia episode. It was only inspired by one of those peanut butter & chocolate moments when Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head was pairing his iconic 60 Minute IPA with an artisan pickle from Brooklyn Brine. One call later and …. “a first-of-its-kind culinary leap of taste: the Hop-Pickle.The all-natural, earthy Hop-Pickle is made with Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, caramelized onions and Cascade hops and is packaged by hand in Brooklyn Brine’s small artisanal kitchen.”

You can also partake of whiskey or bourbon pickles too! But you may need a NY hook-up. The Brine’s operations don’t include the West Coast yet.

the Return of the Buff

It appears that Saison du Buff is not just a one off collaboration. All the better because this is a strange beer that really forces a craft beer lover to pay attention and speaking of paying attention, here is a video about the 2012 version…

Sean Suggests for June 2012


The beers to buy for June all came off a recent e-mail list of what is available at one of my local beer buying stops Red Carpet, here in sunny Glendale, CA.

So click the links (may take two clicks depending upon the browser) and either head to Red Carpet if you are in L.A. or go to your store of choice and support craft beer from two gypsy brewers and a beer that has traipsed all over the globe.

Put Your IPA into …..


Seems like the dynamic duo of Grossman and Calagione have more on their minds than just Life and Limb. They also want to build a better glass and just for IPA’s. They took time to taste Stone’s IPA as well as their own offerings in different glasses from the famed Riedel people. Sounded like a fun way to spend two hours.

Check out the story from The Philly Beer Scene HERE! Then look forward to a better way to celebrate the hop.

Randall Jr.

Occasionally, some Randall action happens at special beer events. But it is not commonplace at bars. But now for an Andrew Jackson you can get the Jr. version from Dogfish Head and start experimenting.

“So you’ve tried to acquire the Randall 3.0 and it’s either out of stock or out of your price range, right? Well, we heard you and here’s the answer! The same concept in a much more convenient size and price tag. The Randall Jr. allows you to infuse your favorite brew with just about whatever ingredients you can think up. Midas Touch with lime and mint? Yes please! World Wide Stout with espresso beans? You betcha! Just place the ingredients in the Randall Jr. and pour the beer right over them. Place in a cold climate such as the fridge for 10 minutes or so and you’ve got an amazing concoction on your hands! Share with a friend…or not…we’re not judging.”
