The Only Gastronomic Beer


"The only gastronomic beer" is Ferran Adria's claim about the new beer he is producing with his El Bulli team in conjunction with Barcelona brewery Estrella Damm.  I found this tiny article about Chef Adria's new venture, called Inedit (http://www.estrelladamm.es/inedit/en/ferran-adria-beer.html; $11 for 750ml) sandwiched in the pages of the October 15, 2009 issue of "Wine Spectator."  The entire article can be found here:
"It's Not All Foam"

It seems that there is a culinary movement in chefs getting involved directly with breweries in creating their own signature beers and Ferran Adria certainly represents that this movement has touched even the highest order of celebrity chefs.  Locally, Paul Kahan of Chicago's The Publican collaborated with Michigan's New Holland Brewery this summer to come up with his own beer that was served at The Publican's August beer dinner.
