Dogfish Head's scrapple beer going fast (Don't worry, they are making more)

http://www.delawareonline.com/story/life/2014/12/09/dogfish-heads-scrapple-beer-smoky-meatiness/20141529/

REHOBOTH BEACH – Scrapple, the regional breakfast meat made with hog organs, isn't for everyone.

And depending on your taste preference, scrapple beer is either the greatest thing ever, or the grossest.

While haters are going to hate on a complex offal-infused stout that's as black as the Grinch's soul, the eager and the curious who packed Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats last Friday to sample the world premiere of Beer for Breakfast knew what they were getting into.

The lure of scrapple beer was hard to resist and the limited, brewpub exclusive scored big. So big, the six kegs, each made with four pounds of scrapple, were going much faster than anticipated. While it was on tap in Rehoboth on Monday, the beer wasn't expected to last long

<<<<snip>>>>

Scrapple beer was so well-received at the Dec. 5 standing room only two-hour happy hour, Rehoboth brewer Ben Potts and Calagione said it won't be a one-and-done novelty. They plan to make Beer for Breakfast again for the Rehoboth Avenue brewpub in January for tasting by early February. The beer also will be available at Boston's Extreme Beer Fest in March 2015.


I love Dogfish Head beer and there hasn't been much they have put out that I can say I didn't like (Ok I can't stand their Aprihop Beer). But I still would not try Scrapple Beer even if you paid me to drink the damn stuff! So of course this stuff would sell like hot cakes!
