Celest-jewel Ale | Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
ABV: 5.0%
IBU: 25
Style: Märzen
Actively Produced
Description: This Brewpub Exclusive is an Oktoberfest brewed with moondust and is so outta this world, we’re serving it in space suit koozies! Celest‐jewel-ale was designed to celebrate the fall equinox and the harvest moon. It is made with lunar meteorites that have been crushed into dust, then steeped like tea in a rich, malty Oktoberfest. These certified moon jewels are made up primarily of minerals and salts, helping the yeast‐induced fermentation process and lending this traditional German-style a subtle but complex earthiness. (Or is it mooniness?) Our friends up the road at ILC Dover, a company that creates space suits for NASA, helped us get this unique and incredibly rare ingredient. We also used German malts and hops, and fermented this beer with our house Doggie yeast, giving Celest‐jewel-ale notes of doughy malt, toasted bread, subtle caramel and a light herbal bitterness. Exclusively served at Dogfish Head’s Rehoboth Beach brewpub, Celest‐jewel‐ale marks the September night of the harvest moon – the full moon closest to the fall equinox – whose brightness has traditionally helped farmers work into the evening.
