Terrapin Twilight Road Warrior Kolsch
The Terrapin Road Warrior is brewed in honor of the Athens Terrapin Twilight Criterium, a professional bike race held in downtown Athens. Spike mimicked the exact process and ingredients that make a German-style kolsch great. Kolsch is a light-bodied, lightly hopped style that hails from Cologne, Germany. This particular example has a wonderful golden color and clarity, with subtle yet present hop character. Look for it on draft exclusively in the Athens area and at the Terrapin Twilight Criterium!

Innis and Gunn Scottish Pale Ale
Given Scotland's climate, the words "Scottish" and "pale" fit hand in glove. For the second of their seasonal beers in 2013, they drew from historical recipes to craft this carefully balanced pale ale. Light and vibrant with fresh floral and citrus notes, it's perfect for whiling away precious spells of sunshine. 7% ABV (draft only)

2013 Stone Espresso Imperial Russian Stout
 Espresso-roast coffee has thousands of aromatic and flavor compounds. A lot of what comes out in the final flavor depends on where the beans are grown and how they are roasted and blended. Stone fell in love with the espresso from San Diego's Ryan Bros. Coffee when they first tried it in a cask of Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale, and then later when using it to make espresso, "real" macchiatos, and lattes during one of their weekly "Espresso Friday" sessions. It's a blend of Indonesian and Central/South American coffee beans, dark roasted and blended to perfection. The flavor is bold and robust yet very smooth, with hints of citrus and berries, and they knew it would be a great addition to this year's "odd" version of our Stone Imperial Russian Stout. 11% ABV (bottle and draft)

Brewery Ommegang Fleur De Houblon
Nothing is more evocative of summer than the beautiful aroma of flowers, and the favored flowers of brewers are hops. This brand new summer ale, Fleur de Houblon (Hop Flowers), is brewed to bring the many elements of summer into a refreshing and easy-to-drink Belgian-style ale. Fleur de Houblon is a rich gold color with distinct floral hops in the aroma that follow through in the taste. Whole-cone Bravo hops are used to impart their earthy, fruity, and floral aromas and flavors. The body and flavor are clean and dry, with pleasing complexity and spicy notes from both primary and secondary fermentation with their unique Ommegang house yeast. 6.8% ABV

Dogfish Head Sixty-One
Sixty-One captures that tradition in a bottle and marries two Dogfish Head innovations: beer/wine hybrids -- which Dogfish has focused on for well over a decade with beers like Midas Touch and Raison D'etre -- and continually-hopped IPAs. The name Sixty-One is a reminder that this beer is Dogfish Head's best-selling 60 Minute IPA plus one new ingredient: syrah grape must from California. 6.5% ABV (bottle and draft)

Other returning favorites:
Look out for returning hits such as: Avery Karma (bottle and draft), Dogfish Head Chateau Jiahu (bottle only), and Dogfish Head Sah'Tea (bottle and draft).

While the upper U.S. West coast has a beer style to call its own (Cascadian Dark Ale), it appears that the craft beer movement in Florida has spawned a new style of beer: the Florida Weisse.
The second annual Berliner Bash on the Bay in Gulfport, Florida, was recently held on April 20 and several Florida brewers took the opportunity to showcase what exactly the Florida Weisse is all about.

In the world of business, you often hear about the pursuit of the new new thing. But I believe entrepreneurs have a lot to gain by looking into the history of their industry or related industries for creative inspiration. Dogfish has been focused on brewing off-centered ales for off-centered people for almost 20 years.
In the mid 90s, some beer enthusiasts and experts called us heretics for brewing beers with ingredients outside of the "traditional" water, yeast, hops, and barley. So I started researching ancient brewing cultures and learned that long before the four ingredient light lager juggernaut came to dominate the global commercial brewing landscape, brewers in every corner of the world made beer with whatever was beautiful and natural and grew beneath the ground they lived on.
