Dogfish Head Brewery - Sixty-One
Delaware brewer Sam Calagione takes his popular 60 Minute IPA and brews it with Syrah grape must (crushed grapes and their juice) for this new, rose-colored IPA, which has classic citrusy hops notes together with a light tangy fruitiness - a great warm-weather, sit-on-the-porch beer.
Flying Dog - Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout
Actual oyster stouts (as opposed to Wynkoop�s version) have a long tradition, going back to the Victorian era in England. And yes, they are actually brewed with oysters. Maryland�s Flying Dog Brewery makes a lightly briny version using local Chesapeake Bay oysters, and a percentage of the profits go to the Oyster Recovery Partnership - a nonprofit dedicated to oyster restoration efforts in the Chesapeake Bay).
Lazy Magnolia - Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale
There�s an idea: Make a nut brown ale (a traditional English style) using actual nuts. And, if you�re based in Mississippi as brewer Mark Henderson is, that would be pecans. Though it sounds a little gimmicky, the pecans actually give a very appealing, nutty (what else are you going to call it?) note to this rich brown ale.
Rogue - Chipotle Ale
This adventurous Oregon-based brewery has experimented with a range of unexpected ingredients�hazelnuts, soba (buckwheat), juniper berries. Rogue Chipotle Ale is a spicy variant on the brewery�s popular American Amber Ale, using smoked chipotle peppers.
Baladin - Nora
Teo Musso, who�s either the Johnny Depp or Willy Wonka of Italian craft brewing�I�ve heard him referred to both ways�was inspired by an ancient Egyptian beer recipe for this spiced ale. He uses unmalted kamut (a grain which was used in ancient Egyptian brewing) in the mash, then adds ginger, myrrh and orange peel. It�s complex and unusual, and would be terrific with the sweet-sour-spicy flavors in a lot of Asian cuisines
