Variety Pack

Belgian-style
We began brewing this one at our pub in 1996 (we began packaging and selling it sometime in 1998) as the answer to the question, "What beer should I enjoy with a wood-grilled steak?" Enter Raison D'Être. It's as tasty and complex as a fine red wine. In the Quick Sip Clip video, Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione talks about Raison D'Être inside the new cellars for our 600-bbl fermentation tanks ... talk about a throwback!
