A collaborative beer from the minds of
Sam Caligione (Dogfish Head Brewing Company)
Bill Covaleski (Victory Brewing Company)
Greg Koch (Stone Brewing Co.)
Along with draft offerings such as…
Stone Ruination IPA
Dogfish Head Aprihop
and the new Victory Braumeister Pils
From the Stone Brewing Co. web site:
“In 2003…Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head, Bill Covaleski of Victory, and our own Greg Koch formed the ill-fated Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor (BUFF), a three person organization with the mission of “flex[ing] their verbal muscles in a no-holds barred attack on mindless video-drone beer attitudes”…
Seven years later, Greg, Sam, and Bill felt that the time was right to commemorate that abortive shot across the bow of brewing mediocrity, and a collaboration beer seemed the perfect forum for their unique brand of sudsy activism.
Amazingly, despite having brewed well over a hundred different beers between the three of them, none had made a beer like Saison du BUFF, which takes the earthy quaffability of a Belgian farmhouse ale and adds the kind of twist you’d expect from these three brewing miscreants: sage, thyme, parsley, and Stone Estate (i.e. our parking lot) grown rosemary.”
