Dogfish Head Red & White – 10%ABV
I had Dogfish Head Red & White on draft one night at Iron Monkey and wanted to do a review of it. I picked up a bottle and decided to give it a whirl. First of all, let me say that this is unlike any witbier I’ve ever had. Then again, Dogfish Head is known for going outside the boundaries of conventional brewing. First, the color. It’s a clear amber/golden, almost orange in color. Most witbiers I’ve ever seen are an opaque white, with a hint of yellow hue. Not this one. The taste is different as well, influenced by the oak barrel aging and the pinot noir juice added during the brewing process. It’s a good beer, but definitely not something you would expect if you saw the word “witbier” when defining it.
Our credo is ”Stay Thirsty, But Stay Different.” Dogfish Head Red & White is just that. Cheers!

I love the quasi-awkward video review. Fantastic. Also, it kind of gives beginner reviewers a structure on how to review a beer.
I agree, super different beer, but this is by far one of my favorite dogfish head offerings.
Hey Mark! Thanks for stopping by and giving the video a look see. Yeah the video had me cracking up too especially the rocker hair flip at 3:50 because he hasn’t had head banger hair in YEARS! lol
Love the mash tun post. I’ve been considering making one myself instead of using the oven.
Old habits die hard I guess. I’ve got a 5 gallon cooler here at the house that I was thinking of converting into a mash tun. Also looking into finding a cheap 10 gallon for bigger batches. Although I must say I was intrigued by the post Mark has. Very interesting…
nice vid! haha. I also noticed that head bob. just thought it had something to do with u being nervous.
You can definitely tell you were a little nervous – excpected. I did like that you kept the off camera talk in the video, good choice. All in all – Not bad JDog! The rocker hair flip was classic. You must have been thinking about Dimebag Darrell.
I wasn’t really nervous. I was excited. Maybe a little apprehensive because I was the only one talking, drinking, etc. But nervous? Nah. All good though. Now that I’ve gotten my feet super wet, expect to see more soon! (funny outtakes and rolling credits will still apply)
you were more nervous than a guy on prom night meeting his date’s father
