BA + DFH + EBF = WTF?!


Late-breaking news: BeerAdvocate.com founders Jason and Todd Alstrom (sorry, guys, can't figure out how to put the dots over the o [yeah, like they read this]) , and Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Brewery have teamed up to create a brew that is best described as... well... an Imperial Ancient Belgitalian Coffee Corn-tea Maple Nut Brown Ale.

Yeah, I know, right?

You want to tap the firkin at Night of the Barrels? You know you do. All you have to do is name the beer. That's right, if you send in a name for this wonderbeer, and the Alstrom brothers love it, they'll let you tap the barrel. They'll also give you free VIP passes to both days of the EBF, tons of schwag, a two-night stay at the Brewmaster Suite (pronounced "SWEET!") in Lewes, Deleware, a guided tour of the DFH brewer by Sam Calagione himself, and fifteen minutes of fame. Get those creative juices a-flowin'!

I can't imagine what this beer will taste like. Maybe I'll call it "Incomprehensib-ale." Or "Fut the Wuck Ale." Or "You Must Be Maple Nuts Brown Ale." Or "BADFHEBFIABICCTMNBA."

This will be fun. If only I knew how to tap a firkin...

The beer will be available at the Extreme Beer Fest, put on by BA and sponsored by DFH. Tickets to the event are being sold here. They make GREAT Christmas presents (wink wink).
