Google Teams Up With Dogfish Head For The Nexus Of Beers – URKontinent
As Android users, we’ve known for quite sometime what happens when Google teams up with a smartphone manufacturer: pure Nexus bliss. Well, it looks like Google has paired up with another world famous manufacturer of sorts, Dogfish Head brewery. If it’s one thing Dogfish knows, it’s beer. They have been “manufacturing” some of the world’s most interesting beers since 1995. Google’s part in all of this was taking suggestions from all their users around the world on what would make the world’s best tasting beer and supplying that info for Dog Fish to cook up.
So what exactly did Google and Dogfish Head come up with? The Nexus URKontinent. Okay, maybe not the Nexus part. The URKontinent combines a plethora of ingredients that’s “never been used in a beer since brewing started.” According to Dogfish the specs are:
Pilsner, Munich and Chocolate Malts and Belgian Dark Candi syrup. Then we add unique ingredients from around the world. Wattleseed from Australia imparts a chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut taste to the beer. Toasted Amaranth from South America gives it an earthy, grainy flavor and a little additional roast flavor. Green Rooibos from Africa contributes a floral aroma and slight astringency. Myrica Gale from Europe supplements the bitterness from minimal hopping. Hive Plex Honey from California adds a subtle sweetness while maintaining the dry finish.
If you’re in Delaware area, you can grab your very own URKontinent beer that’s been on tap since September 27th and will be available “until it is gone!” As far as grabbing your own bottle, there might be sometime before we start seeing it sold by the case. For a nice little mini-documentary of the entire project check out the video below. Damn, I’m thirsty.
Thanks, JC!
