Seafood friendly

Nothing goes better with seafood than frosty beer. With that in mind, Delaware’s Dogfish Head craft brewery has just debuted SeaQuench Ale, a session sour brewed with ingredients including sea salt and black limes that is specifically designed to be paired with seafood. The unique recipe brews three different beers in sequence — a straightforward Kolsch with lots of wheat and Munich malt; a salty Gose with black limes, coriander, and sea salt; and a citrusy-tart Berlinerweiss with lime juice and lime peel — then blends all three in a fermentation tank to create a thirst-quenching German hybrid. SeaQuench Ale was created in collaboration with the National Aquarium. Its release kicks off a two-year partnership in which Dogfish will donate $100,000 to the aquarium to raise awareness and support for its environmental work. The two organizations will also work together on the Seafood Smart initiative, a project that focuses on promoting sustainable seafood.
