Dogfish Head brewed up a Delaware beer using local wild yeasts. Here's the article...

Delaware Today
My guess is she was misquoted, either that or she hasnt done her homework. But I am sure Sam doesnt agree with what Katrina said, I mean he is friends with Vinnie and all...
Not to slam DFH at all, because I love what they do, but Sam and the gang are huge marketers, and sometimes that means puffing your chest a little, even at the expense of the honest truth.
Wyoming is a town in kent county DE outside of the state capital, Dover. Any yes I agree that she was either misquoted or extremely stupid. By the way the beer is very very good.
I'd agree, if I had to guess this is a misquote from the article. I would think they'd be referring to the first brewery to brew a beer using all local ingredients/materials from the area not just the yeast but that's purely speculation. I think Sam and the DFH crew know their place in the industry and are respectful to the other breweries out there.Ah! My bad. Carry on.
Katrina was on Brewmasters a decent amount and it sounded like she knew what she was doing so Im going to go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt.
And don't get me wrong, I'm psyched to try the beer...
Pivzavod said:DFH is mostly a maker of overpriced hyped up novelty beers. Katrina makes it sound like they are the first brewery ever to use wild yeast. It cant be a misquote because there were beers done using all local ingredients before. Back in the day brewers used local ingredients and at some point didnt even know about yeast. Everything was local.
Couldn't disagree with you more.DFH is mostly a maker of overpriced hyped up novelty beers. Katrina makes it sound like they are the first brewery ever to use wild yeast.

This is a big thumbs down. Novelty in no way....Sam has a vission, uses quality ingredients, brews it, and sells it. Half of his great beers don't even make it to distribution because they're brew pup exclusive.
I'm not commenting on DFH beers, but that article was terrible.
Detroit, wall street, What does that have to do with beer?? it is just junk sound-bites. I didn't go past the first page in fear that I would be called the 1%, and that the 99% would occupy my front yard until I gave them 99% of my wild yeasts.
"Yet this all-Delaware beer is an even bigger deal than most might realize, because it was made in a way that is unique in all of modern commercial brewingit was brewed with a wild yeast."
"Before Dogfish Head, no modern commercial brewery, as far as anyone knows, had ever made a beer with wild yeast, according to quality tech Katrinka Housley, who manages the 30-plus varieties used at Dogfish Head. "
Was that through your homebrew club? Are they giving that yeast out at the brewery?Just left a special home brewers tour, led by Sam, got to personally talk to katrinka and rectify the descriptiveness of the article, in which she told me she was severely misquoted, and they gave us free DNA YEAST to brew with!
