Dogfish Head, Victory, and Stone get BUFF... again.

In 2010, the masterminds behind Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Victory Brewing Co., and Stone Brewing Co. came together to formulate a most glorious collaboration beer, taking some serious culinary (and musical?) inspiration with their inclusion of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme in the boil. Now, after a two-year hiatus, this beer at long last makes a glorious (albeit limited-time) return.

Stone collaboration beer revisits Texas Brown Ale

Stone Brewing Co. is releasing its first collaboration beer of 2012--dubbed "Bear Republic ⁄ Fat Head's ⁄ Stone TBA"--which begins rolling out to select regions today. This particular beer pays homage to a relatively little-known beer style called Texas Brown Ale, which, strangely enough, has its roots in California. It originated as a hopped up version of a brown ale recipe, and it got pretty popular with a group of NorCal homebrewers in the early 1980s.
