Dogfish Head Festina Pêche Rice Pudding

22 August, 2014 / by Hank Watson

If you’re like me, and love most everything about rice pudding, but always think, “Why???? Why must they ruin this beautiful rice pudding by putting raisins in it?”  Blech!  I found a way to turn that frown upside down! Beer!  See? It worked already! Dogfish Head Festina Pêche is a refreshing neo-Berliner Weisse, with the natural peach flavors woven into the yeast. which makes it, well, just peachy! It’s dry, with a slight sweetness that is fabulous for the summer months, as well as the hot Florida days in fall. This Dogfish Head Festina Pêche Rice Pudding, however, is so good, it’ll be something you’ll want all year long!
