Dogfish Head, a Delaware-based brewery most popular for its delicious 60 Minute, 90 Minute, and 120 Minute IPAs (the latter of which will rip your face off in the best way possible), has decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis’ landmark head-trip of an album, by concocting and bottling a new beer named after the jazz-fusion classic, despite the album having well-known connections and inspiration with other, more injectable, substances. Bitches Brew, the new beer, is described as a “dark combination of stouts and honey beer intended as the ultimate partner for chili or spicy curry chicken.” Because, as we all know, chili and spicy curry chicken were the only things that Miles ate while recording Bitches Brew.
According to Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head founder, the new beverage should be “sipped cool, not cold, from a snifter or red wine glass while listening to the Bitches Brew album.” Personally, I think that Bitches Brew is best enjoyed naked while waking up in a flop-house in the roughest section of L.A. next to a pile of horse shit and a sleeping prostitute. But that’s just me.
Dogfish’s Bitches Brew will be available in August in a 750ml bottle (9.0 ABV — yes!).
