WetHopDada (aaargh data. sorry)
OK Gang, sorry for the delay but here’s the bird’s eye low down on the Wet Hop Ales.
Our buddy, Celebrator Beer News Guru Tom Dalldorf, introduced this incredible style to the east coast on the stage of the Brickskeller in 2001. These kegs are extremely rare and wonderfully flavorful, brewed only once a year. This is the specialty beer world’s finest presentation of the essence of what fine fresh hops add to the flavor profile of a beer. Similar to wines Beaujolais Noveau - without the stomping upon of feet whose cleanliness should not be automatically assumed up to snuff - choice select hops are plucked from the vine and transported with the greatest urgency and slightest handling and processing then added to the brew upon first opportunity. This most righteous tweak of the brewing process imparts the most incredibly full and fresh hop flavors you’ll experience.
As you know the kegs developed a major hitch in their getalong en route and didn’t actually get to DC until long after the hoped for hoptime had passed and the speaker, or taster I guess, had to return to his great O’Brian’s brewpub in San Diego, home to tons of hops on tap regularly.
So on Tuesday December 5 in RFD’s back room we will be doing our first ever tasterless tasting!
I know, I know. WOW already! We’re going to open the back room at RFD on Tuesday December 5 at 6PM and go til the manager stays GetOUT! The taps will be set with a fantastic selection of Wet Hop and special edition west coast gems. Beers will be served in the 8oz tasting portion cup at a charge of $5.00 per 8oz serving cup INCLUDING TAX and TIP. Availability subject to change, when the keg empties the beer is gone til next year! At close of business December 5th we will split the remaining kegs and dedicate one tap at both RFD and the Brick to the keg remnants which will be served in the order of which is easiest to reach next. These will be offered for $7.95 for a shaker glass serving NOT INCLUDING TAX Or TIP. By serving the smaller portions on Tuesday guests will be able to enjoy a wider selection of their choices of these beers. We do NOT serve beer in 8oz plastic tasting cups on the floor of the restaurant. Don’t ask. Please. Of course, if you reserved a ticket for the event you will not be charged, not to worry! This is a first come first serve event, there is no entry fee but all attending MUST be at least 21 years of age with legal valid current government issued ID. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Those of you clever little beeroids on the mailing list are now receiving first notification so plan accordingly!

Sam is an old buddy of ours, Doug however is new to our stage.
Here’s a bit of his bio.
Doug Griffith
www.xtremebrewing.com
Along with wife Patti and partner Frank Payton, Doug owns Delmarva Brewing Craft and www.xtremebrewing.com. Delmarva Brewing Craft is located in Millsboro, Delaware and has been open about 12 years. Doug also built the second brewing system (7 barrel) Sam used at the Pub. That led to other construction and maintenance projects at the brewery when it opened in Lewes. When Sam was writing his book *Extreme Brewing*, he asked Doug to do some editing of the recipes. Upon learning that Sam had no plans for marketing these beers Doug decided that this would be a good opportunity for a website and www.xtremebrewing.com was born. As part of the process of running a website, Doug and some of his brewing partners have been brewing the recipes in Sam's book. Sam has conned Doug into giving up some of his extremely limited supply of these beers for passing around at this event. T
* = pass-around bottles. The following beers are exceptionally rare and in extremely limited quantity, there are not enough for all attendees to pour full rounds of service but all attendees will get to sample at least one of the following list of.. well, see for yourself. Wowsers
* Behomoth Barley Wine - * Bloodorange Hefeweizen - * Crandaddy Braggot - * Dark Star Licorice Stout - * Ginger Saison - * KiwitBrown Ale - * Port Barrel Aged Belgian Brown - * Punkin Porter - * Sour Cherry Ale - * Tripel 'Round the World - * Wildflower Wheat
The list of beers for full service has not been set but as of this printing will most likely be
90 Minute I P A – Indian Brown Ale - Pangeae - World Wide Stout
The RFD kitchen will serve sample portions of these items during the event as well
Zesty Blue Cheese & IPA Dipping Sauce
The subtle bitterness of the hops in the IPA complements the sharp cheese flavors to give the sauce a zesty bite served with crudites.
Witty Cilantro Mussels
Mussels steamed in beer and served with crusty bread must be the national dish of Belgium.
Traditionally, this dish is cooked with just a few flavoring ingredients to allow the goodness of the beer broth to shine through.
