From DFH:<br /><br />Chateau Jiahu. Like our Midas Touch, this beer is based on an archeological finds. The Chateau Jiahu originated with 9,000 year-old pottery jars found in the Neolithic village of Jiahu, Henan province, Northern China. The crockery revealed a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey and fruit was being produced that long ago - right around the same time that barley beer and grape wine were Bimini to be made in the Middle East! We took the known ancient ingredients - added some 2006 Dogfish Head brewing sense (that might be an oxymoron), and some great label art by our friend Tara McPherson (she did the Fort labels too). The Chateau Jiahu will be released from the brewery mid-late August and should be in stores by the end of the month or the beginning of September (depends on where you are).
