Description: Spit happens - and when it does, you brew Chicha. An ancient Peruvian beer brewed with corn that’s chewed up and spit out, Chicha is one of our most talked about brewing creations. So what exactly is Chicha? In Peru, small communities produce it from masticated maize, naturally fermented in large clay pots and often flavored with indigenous fruit and spices. Here at Dogfish Head, we reproduced the ancient beer by creating Chicha from co- worker masticated purple Peruvian corn, malted corn and malted barley. The wort is then boiled for full sterilization, chilled and blended with strawberries. Fermented with a unique blend of yeast strains, Chicha clocks in at 3.1% ABV with fruity, spicy aromas and a dry finish. We've been brewing this ancient beverage since 2009 and this year, we enlisted the help of 100+ co-workers to prepare the beer's main ingredient - masticated purple maize ... and for the first time, we released 200 (750ml) bottles of this one-of-a-kind brew exclusively at our Milton Tasting Room & Kitchen on Saturday, March 10, 2018.
