Asteroids

If I had to pick a brewery to pair with film director Wes Anderson, Dogfish Head would certainly make the short list.  

The latest Anderson movie is Asteroid City and Calagione and crew have “brewed with regeneratively grown pilsner malt, Tuxpeno corn malt and Zuper Saazer hops for subtle notes of savory corn and a whiff of wild blossoms and herbs, Asteroid City Lager was then finished with a mid-20th century Pennsylvania lager yeast as a nod to the 1950s era during which “Asteroid City” takes place.”

You can find the beer at Alamo Draft Houses showing the flick.  Maybe movies should get signature beers.

And the Oscar goes to….

Here are my pun filled, too obvious and tenuously linked beers to pair with the films nominated for Best Picture Oscar:

The King’s Speech – Duchy’s Original Organic Ale
Inception – Troeg’s Dream Weaver Wheat
127 Hours – Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
Toy Story 3 – McMenamin’s Toymaker
True Grit – Millstone’s True Grit
The Social Network – Stone’s Arrogant Bastard
The Kids are All Right – Mother Earth Chaos
The Fighter – Sam Adam’s Longshot Traditional Bock
Black Swan – Allagash Black
Winter’s Bone – Grand Teton’s Coming Home Holiday Ale
