Real green beer

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is the most interesting brewery in America. Best known for its India Pale Ales, the 60, 90 and 120 minute IPAs, named for the constant hop infusion over that amount of time, the brewery is really a playground for owner Sam Calagione. He makes wild beers that test the threshold of ``beer,'' including this one: Verdi Verdi Good. I think it's safe to say it didn't taste good, but it really is a green beer. The brewery makes Midas Touch, a strong golden ale with saffron that was based on a chemical analysis of the residue taken from a cup found in King Midas' tomb. Calagione started his brewery after making only about 10 homebrews. I love his story. This New Yorker story is amazing and traces his history.
