E-Malt.com News article: USA, DE: Dogfish Head releases a new beer in its line of Ancient Ales

Ta Henket, the latest addition to Dogfish Head's line of Ancient Ales, rolls out this month, Beerinfo.com reported on December, 3.

Inspired by a trip to the Great Pyramids, Dogfish Head Founder & President Sam Calagione created Ta Henket with ingredients and traditions outlined in Egyptian hieroglyphics. "It was like a Rosetta Stone visit," he says. "That's the first depiction of the brewing process, the birthplace of our vocation."

Ta Henket is brewed with an ancient form of wheat and loaves of hearth-baked bread, and it's flavored with chamomile and dom-palm fruit. The spiciness comes from zatar, a mixture of herbs found at a Cairo street market.

Ta Henket is available in 750ml bottles and on draft and will be distributed throughout Dogfish Head's national network.
