Should we be drinking anything, let alone a premium beer if the word rot is in the title? The answer is apparently yes as long as part of that same label contains the words Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales. Thinking not only out of the box or out of the keg as it were, is what makes them very unique in the craft industry. That uniqueness is what brings the world of wine into our beer today. Noble Rot is not only the name of the beer, but also a term used to describe a grey fungus (Botrytis cinerea) that can either destroy grape crops or when picked at just the right time can produce a very concentrated sweeter wine. The beer we are having today uses unfermented juice (or must) from viognier grapes and pinot gris must. Join us at the tasting table today as we pour this most interesting saison.
