USA, DE: Dogfish Head announces Noble Rot

Dogfish Head announces new beer/wine hybrid ale Noble Rot, The Full Pint reported on January, 26.

“This is the absolute closest to equal meshing of the wine world and the beer world that’s ever been done commercially,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione.

For Noble Rot, 49.5% of the fermentable sugars come from grapes, and 50.5% come from grains. The wine grapes are sourced at Alexandria Nicole Cellars in Prosser, WA.

“It’s been fascinating to watch the cross-pollination of wine and beer,” says Alexandria Nicole Founder Jarrod Boyle. “We’re excited to be involved in this.”

Noble Rot will be available in 750-ml bottles ($12.99 MSRP) and on draft in the next few weeks.
