The Dogfish Brewery, a Delaware based company which is famous for its unconventional beer miscellany collaborated with Kodak to create the ultimate beverage- One that can develop a film: A SuperEIGHT gose! It is a German-genre sour drink with a wheat base featuring eight “audacious” ingredients that can process Kodak’s Super 8 film. The liquid refreshment is said to go on the floors from next month reported the Chronicle and Rochester Democrat.

Boysenberry, blackberry, elderberry, mango, prickly pear, kiwi juices and a tiny amount of quinoa along with some Hawaiian sea salt are added to a 5.3 percent alcohol that gives it a beautiful red hue. The libation has a slightly tart like taste but a refreshing end said the Dogfish Head. “We are coming with the most flavorful release to date- Gose, SuperEIGHT. With the success of SeaQuench Ale and a deep customer survey we have created the perfect blend for you and you’re going to love this wildly toothsome release” said Sam Calagione the founder and CEO of Dogfish.

The previous year, Calagione was featured on an episode of “The Kodakery”, Kodak’s podcast where they discussed varying analog procedures in the modern and digital age. Calagione was informed that an excess of acidity and vitamin C in some categories of beer could be utilized as a film developing agent in some cases. This beer ‘SuperEIGHT’ is specifically designed to match the needs of developing a Kodak Super 8 reel.

In their now-viral blog post, the Dogfish head also mentioned that the first few batches were directly sent to Kodak for testing and development. Post conducting a series of examinations the beer proved its metal. To commemorate its launch Calagione plans a port-to-port cruise trip across the East Coast during the summer documenting his journey and adventures on Kodak Super 8. The footage will then be developed using SuperEIGHT and then turned into a short film.

We are joyous to have such a vibrant variety of our favorite beverage and we hope so are you.
