Dogfish Head 'World Wide Stout'

So I sampled my first bottle Saturday night. It was delicious, smokey, nutty and typical of DfH quite potent. After one beer I was totally toasted. Yum!




Availability: Limited
Release Date: November 2008

YES! This is the beer you've heard so much about. Dark, rich, roasty and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley. Have one with (or as!) dessert tonight!

Jason D'Aquino - Miniature Masterpeices

     These are perhaps the most interesting and precise drawings I have ever seen. I was instantly hooked when I saw the different mediums he was drawing on! What a unique concept. His matchbooks are out of this world! I don't know how he can draw so small with such amazing detail some of his works are only 1"x 1" in dimension! His homepage has some much more than I can share here. I have a link at the bottom of this post.

“The "moment of the fall" is a recurring theme in my drawings. The line between healthy, youthful innocence and corruption is so tenuous. The weight of a feather could throw the balance, and tip the
scales. And they can never be re-set.”

Creating in a miniature scale, Jason D’Aquino presents diminutive spaces that explode with rich detail and cryptic imagery. Upon close inspection – which is mandatory when viewing these intricate surfaces – a presentation of seemingly innocent characters and paraphernalia unfolds into a world of perversity and fetishism. The mystery of his subjects is further enhanced by the fact that they are rendered on found and naturally aged materials. D’Aquino goes through great lengths scouring flea markets, abandoned homes and dust bins to find antique surfaces that are recontextualized into his art.......
