The tour began in Dogfish Head’s distillery. Dogfish Head brewery in Milton hosted its annual Weekend of Compelling Ales and Spirits April 11, as visitors got to try experimental brews and eats, and take a self-guided tour of the brewery.
Dogfish founder Sam Calagione said the weekend, which included events at Dogfish Head’s properties around the Cape Region, is about celebrating the artisticness of Dogfish’s culinary and brewing sides. He said brewers, mixologists and chefs combine forces to find the right pairing of food and beverage.
Calagione said Dogfish Head collaborated with Chicago-based Hop Butcher For The World to come up with Chicago-style thin-crust, tavern pizzas paired with Dogfish beer, as well as the Chicago Red Eye beverage, a mix of Dogfish Head whiskey and that midwest favorite, Jeppson’s Malort.
Still, this event is based in Sussex County, so of course there was a typical Mid-Atlantic favorite, raw oysters, provided by Arrowhead Point Oysters.
