Beer is so much more than what you see in the glass, and I'm excited to share the diligence, daring and creativity that we pour into craft brewing at Dogfish Head Brewery. I look forward to helping share some of my knowledge about and passion for beer in this slideshow and through Brew Masters on Discovery Channel.
Once the cooler weather comes, my ideal evening after putting the kids to bed involves lounging on the couch by the lit wood stove, sipping a red-wine glass full of craft beer while reading a good book. Here are a few pairings that I have found spot-on over the years.

Then how about Doctor Zhivago and a Stone Imperial Russian Stout? Both are heavy and full of character, they enrich and satisfy, yet leave you feeling weighed down upon completion. A good pairing for the winter season. Of our discontent.
What a missed opportunity this post was. I love Dogfish Head but it would have been classier if the brewmaster hadn't picked one of his own beers.
The obvious one he missed was the fantastic Greenmantle Ale to read with the book Greemantle. There are at least half a dozen more beers in England alone that are named after books.
And, oh, I dont know maybe Ulysses to drink with a pint of Guinness...
When is Dogfish Head coming to Minnesota?
Until I finally passed out...nobody ever told me Dogfish Head was like...8% alcohol.
