We live in a fractured world.
That's why the beer we drink should unite us.
Enter Dogfish Head's Pangaea.
This inventive beer, brainchild of craft beer revolutionary Sam Calagione, is named after Pangaea theory, which posits that once upon a time, all the world's disparate continents used to be one. (You'll have to do further research
about that baby on your own).
Dogfish Head made sure to gather an ingredient from every continent on the planet—yep, even Antarctica—for this brew. They sourced ginger from Australia, basmati rice from Asia, muscovado sugar from Africa, quinoa from South America, yeast from Europe, and maize from North America. From Antarctica, they siphoned water with special only-in-Antarctica properties (if you really want to know, ask Sam).
We poured Pangaea, noticing an amber orange color with a thin white head. We took a whiff: ginger arose right away, with a bit of anise and orange peel and then the scents of lemon, honey and clove. The finish, which was nice and long, ended in a light, pleasant bitterness. Overall, it's a complex beer, and gave us a lot—beyond continental drift—to talk about.
We're amazed by the Dogfish Head beer-geeks; these innovators keep elevating the art of craft beermaking into the stratosphere, exploring surprising possibilities.
