Bitches Brew

I'm not quite sure what I think about this. It's supposed to be a tribute to Miles from the founder of Dogfish Head Brewery who is a big fan of the groundbreaking album but it kind of feels more like commercial exploitation.

From HuffPo...
Beer visionary Sam Calagione and his colleagues at Dogfish Head Brewery have unveiled Bitches Brew (official site here), to commemmorate the 40th anniversary of Miles Davis' epic jazz record of the same name.

Dogfish's Bitches Brew is described as "a bold, dark beer that's a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to Miles' masterpiece."

The beer's label features the late Mati Klarwein's famous artwork from the original album.

I wonder what Miles would think.
