Dogfish Head & Sierra Nevada Collaborate

Craft Breweries Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head will release two collaborative beers. Limb & Life, a draft-only beer, debuted in October 2009, while Life & Limb will debut in 24 ounce bottles and on limited draft in November 2009.

The two beers are part of the growing “collaborations” among craft brewers. The beers are “dedicated to the family of beer drinkers and enthusiasts worldwide who continue to support the little guys, entrepreneurs and pioneers who risk life and limb to shape the vibrant craft brewing community.

Life & Limb is a 10% ABV strong beer brewed with maple syrup and estate grown barley at the brewery in Chico, Ca. It is fermented with a blend of both breweries’ house yeast strains and bottle conditioned for added complexity and shelf life. In addition, it is naturally carbonated with birch syrup from Alaska.

Limb & Life (the draft only beer) is a small, low gravity beer made from the second runnings of Life & limb.
