Drink Tickets: Beers from Lower Dens and Deltron 3030 and Billy Corgan's Tea shop

POSTED: Friday, September 14, 2012, 4:50 PM

Two of Baltimore's most exciting exports, Stillwater Artisanal Ales and Jana Hunter's darkly psychedelic band Lower Dens have teamed up to brew a beer inspired by "In the End is the Beginning" a track off their latest album Nootropics. This ale brewed with tart hibiscus blossoms is the first in Stillwater's Sensory Series where the brewery will be teaming up with other acts and crafting beers inspired by their music. Each bottle comes with a scannable QR code that links to the track, making for an ideal sipping soundtrack.

In other beer and music related news, Dogfish Head and sci-fi hip hop outfit Deltron 3030 i.e. Dan the Automator and Del the Funkee Homosapien have joined forces for a limited run of Positive Contact. The beer-cider hybrid comes in at about 9% ABV and is brewed with an appealing and intriguing mix of tart Fuji apples, cayenne, cilantro and roasted farro. Positive Contact is available at Brew (1900 S. 15th St.) and is being sold with accompanying EP with four unreleased Deltron remixes. 

And lastly, in musicians getting into the potables game, yesterday Billy Corgan opened Madame ZuZu's, a tea house in Chicago that he's billing as a multipurpose space to experience music, art and lectures while enjoying a properly brewed cup of tea.
