A unique beer from Dogfish Head
Dogfish Head Chicha (chee-chah) is most closely based upon Peruvian brewing traditions. With the most authentic interpretation possible: organic pink Peruvian pepper corns, yellow maize and organic Peruvian purple maize. They also use strawberries - a traditional chicha ingredient. The most exotic and unique component of this project, from the perspective of the American beer drinker, happens before the beer is even brewed. As per tradition, instead of germinating all of the grain to release the starches, the purple maize is milled, then moistened in the beermakers mouths and formed into small cakes which are flattened and laid out to dry before adding to the wort.
