Bitches Brew is on its way

Dogfish Head's Bitches Brew, a Miles Davis-inspired beer that just might be my favorite offering from Dogfish Head, will be returning in September. According to a posting on their Facebook page:

We're brewing the three threads of imperial stout for Bitches Brew today. The fourth thread (a honey beer with gesho root) was brewed on Friday. The threads will be blended and the 2012 Bitches Brew will be hitting retailers in September!

This is fantastic news! Bitches Brew is a real treat. The honey beer (actually an Ethiopian honey wine called Tej) works wonderfully with the hefty imperial stout that forms of the base of this brew, giving you a roasty, rich beverage that leaves you with a pleasant honey sweetness on the tip of your tongue. Delicious stuff well worth seeking out -- but grab it fast, because this beer always flies right off the shelves. If you know your retailer well, as them to save a bottle for you, because this beer often sells out within 48 hours.

In the meantime, I have some bottles stashed away from each of the last two batches. I may have to break one out for my From The Cellar series, hmmm?
