DFH/SNB Collaboration
We’re all for new and exciting beers, especially when two rock stars come together and make something like Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada did. Life & Limb and Limb & Life are basically two beers made from a single batch using only ingredients from the Dogfish and Sierra farms.
The Life & Limb was simply breath taking. This is a great beer now and will continue to be a great beer years from now. Dean picked us up a few bottles to cellar for a few years, so we’ll know in 2012 if we were wrong, unless the world ends and California falls into the Pacific Ocean.
The Limb & Life was a little less spectacular. It started out great with an amazing head, but it just felt a little light bodied and too….tree sappy for our tastes. I would love to see how it tastes later down the road as it mellows, but it’s only available in kegs.
To make up for it, Peter let us try some of his Firestone XIII. This is another beer that will age well for years to come. If you see it at your local store, pick up a bottle or two and try it. I promise you won’t be let down. If you are let down, then you are probably a terrorist and we don’t want to be associated with you.
