My two favorite brewers, Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head, have collaborated to produce a new brew:
It started the way most collaborations do, over a few beers. Which is fitting, since this was a collaboration between two brewers–two of the biggest in the craft brewing world, Dogfish Head’s Sam Calagione and Sierra Nevada’s Ken Grossman.
[ . . . ]
The result, released in November, is Life & Limb, a 10 percent ABV ale brewed with maple syrup from Calagione’s family farm in Massachusetts and hops from the Sierra Nevada estate in Chico, California; just for fun, the pair used the mash a second time to brew Limb & Life, a 5 percent ABV “small” beer (so-called because second-run brews have many of the characteristics of the first run, but much less alcohol and character).
I think it’ll be hard to find this in the usual places. But, if you live in the metro DC area, you’re in luck. Dogfish Head operates a brewpub at Seven Corners, and it’s on tap. Please to enjoy.

At last some information I can use.
BTW, our newspaper friend is interested in what we discussed. Early next week may be a good time to test out the beer.

There is also Dogfish Head brewpub opening in Chantilly.
