So it was recommended to me that I try Dogfish Head Brewery's Ta Henket brew, right? And hey, look, the website says it's in stock at the brewery, which is not an unreasonable drive from me. So I drove down to buy some.

THEY NO LONGER MAKE THE DAMN BEER.

ETA: Found it online. It is being shipped at ridiculous expense from California and I will not get to try it for probably a week, but I will get to try it after all. Also the Theobroma from Dogfish Head, which is the chocolate one. Everything's better with chocolate, right?

I admire your dedication to your craft and greatly look forward to further posts on the matter. :D and I hope beer ends up tasting better to you than wine!

I bought a four-pack of Midas Touch from Dogfish Head on impulse yesterday, and it tasted fine. At least at first. But I don't know how much of the it-stopped-tasting-good-two-thirds-down was the beer and how much was preexisting bleh. I believe I will make beer bread with one of the three remaining bottles, see how that comes out.

REPORT BACK!

Their site *claims* they make it sometimes still. CLEARLY THEY LIE.

Chocolate beer?

Keep us updated on this one? Please?

If you have beer that you don't finish, also consider putting it into chili or a crock pot with chicken or pork and some good red onions. Makes even the worst beer palatable to me!

Ooh, that sounds tasty.
