Dogfish Head & PJ20

Hugo Reyes

so awesome the use of Ten and Twenty in the making of the beer:

"Another interesting label today from Dogfish Head Brewery called Pearl Jam Twenty Faithfull Ale (ale brewed with currants). Looks like it will be 750ml bottles and 7% ABV. “Faithful Ale is a celebration of Pearl Jam’s 20th Anniversary & their seminal album Ten – In recognition of these milestones this Belgian-style golden ale is delicately hopped to 20 IBUs and fruit-forward from 10 incremental additions of black currants over the course of the one"

wow i cannot believe this is actually happening.

good work.

autumn

I live in DE and will be at the Brew pup on October 1st. We may stop by the brewery as well. I'll see what I can find out and let everyone know.

I hope you are right. I wouldn't be able to find the beer here but am headed to Philly in November.

If they stay on their release schedule, it will be November

Pj caskets are just around the corner, YES!

Is this stuff going to be widely distributed? I forsee a one time making of this with somewhat limited distribution. Also, I hope they don't sell it on this web site !

ZiggyStar

Oh fuck yes!!

I wonder if they'll ship to Australia? :think:

I read Sam Calagione's (founder of Dogfish Head) book 'Brewing up a Business' a few months ago. Good read. You should check it out.

My brother is a salesman for Hunterdon Brewing Company Beer distributors in NJ, the number one distributor of Dogfish Head in the country. Will get info ASAP

GM151575

They were made aware of it this week. No release date yet, as the beer is not made/finished being made yet. Ill pass along the release date/amount being made availabe when he knows.

If they wont ship maybe another PJ fan that lives close to their brewpub can help some of us out.
I would gladly paypal for a 6er and comp you for your time.

my mouth is watering just imagining this...can't wait.

GM151575

It's definetly going to stores. It's the same type of release as their previous bitches brew and hellhound releases. 750ml bottles, limited number of cases, but not impossible to find. If your state has dogfish head, should be able to find it somewhere.

Was just on the Dogfish Head website. They have Patagonia backpacks in stock on their merch page.

i am stunned, right down to the OP's name for the beer. since i am in TX and will not likely get dist for this wicked product, i will be looking for some trades, i homebrew and have arrogant bastard and lagunita ipa clones in signficant supply for anyone interested.

I live in the Dallas area and I have access to all sorts of Dogfish brew. You can't get it down there?

If they make this and I get some we can work something out.

we get the regs and seasonals but missed out on bitches brew and the hellhound brew unless you were at the downtown specs upon release. i will be on lookout and if you p/up an extra, i have plenty to trade.

ps this calls for a bottle of dfh punking, really good this year, if youve not had, p/up a 4 pack.

Since we're talking beer, Founder's Breakfast Stout comes out monday. Pumped! best beer ever besides Founder's Kentucky Breakfast stout, canadian breakfast stout coming out this year, maple syrup. Anyway, I'll be able to get a case of PJ20, i'm sure of that. Perhaps I'll share with the less fortunate in NJ area. If there's one thing i know, it's beer. If there's a second thing, it's pearl jam.

Dogfish head pumpkin is horrible this year, that's a fact and anyone who says otherwise is sadly mistaken. Clearly the worst batch they have ever made. It's a harvest ale this year, not a pumpkin beer, no pumpkin flavor.

I thought it tasted less pumpkiny as well!

Cliffy6745

Much less pumpkiny. A waste of $50 on a case. There are much better pumpkin beers this year.

Well I am happy to know that I'm not going crazy. Maybe they were focusing so much on the PJ20 beer that they did not have time to perfect the others .

This stuff has been available in New york for a couple of weeks already.

Each state is different, depends when the distrubutor gets it and when they want to roll it out to stores. By the way, anybody else disappointed with the name? How about at least FaithfALE, or Hail, Ale? I'm sure there could be others.

LivingBubba

I agree on the Punkin. I had two last night and was thinking this is not the same beer I`ve had the past few years. Hopefully they can get it right next year because it was my favorite seasonal.

When we took a tour of DFH in July they said they were increasing Punkin production by 40% this year. Maybe that is the problem....

Who knows I`ve got a Pumpking to try tonight for PJ20

I really like and recommend Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin and River Horse Hippolantern, if anyones looking for good pumpkin ales this season. I'd put those up against even the old DFH recipe.

RedMosquito02

Well, sounds like everyone needs to pick themselves up a sixer of Maines own, Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale

NEVER disappoints!

Evensteven

Is Pumpking by Southern Tier?

Also what about this tommyknocker pumpkin beer? Any good?

I still think the DFH/Epic collaboration beer Portamarillo is one of the best beers I have tasted if you can find it.

Of The Aggie

That's disappointing about the Punkin not being the same. That is my favorite seasonal from them. I've never been able to find it in bottles but a few places have it on tap.

i think they're allowed a down year once in a while

GM151575

Southern Tier pumpkin is amazing. As far as dogfish head punkin ale this year, the word is the recipe has not changed. Its quite possible your tastes have changed/your memory of the taste has changed. I havent tried it this year yet. I guess its always possible that the execution of the recipe was not as good, but it has not changed. It's the beer that made Dogfish head.

No doubt, I just hope it's not a trend since they are making so much more now.
