Dogfish Head brews ancient and intriguing beer!

An article from Rory Gibson for the Courier Mail explains how a little brewery in Delaware has caused such excitement; they are brewing up lots of interest. Dogfish Head brewery are renowned for coming up with all manner of blends and creations, with only the finest natural ingredients. Rory's article entitled Ancient Brews Return discusses at length the methods they have used to develop their impressive new ale: Chateau Jiahu. This new beer has delicious ingredients including rice, honey, fruit and more! It is a beer that was popular in China 9000 years ago, and they found the ingredients by analysing sediment on pottery. Quite something, hey? Other beers that they have devised include the Finnish-inspired Sah'tea and awesome Mayan cocoa beer Theobroma.

We went to try and find some Dogfish Heads but couldn't find any; we are most eager to try some of these brews. Instead, we ended up sampling three other impressive beers; Three Ravens-Dark Smoke Beer, Jameson Rasberry Ale, and Young's Luxurious Double Chocolate Stout.
