New Beers
Dogfish Head Rosabi – Started as a collaboration with musician Julianna Barwick, a portion of red rice from Julianna’s home state of Louisiana was used to lend a subtle red/rosé color to the beer. The other distinctive element used was wasabi, which when combined with the color of the beer became the name of the beer – Rosabi. It’s an imperial pale pale, which isn’t as aggressively hopped as an IPA. 8% ABV/Milton, Delaware
