BITCHES BREW FROM DOGFISH BREWERY OUT NOW

Miles Davis isn't a musician that's commonly associated with beer, but that's not stopping Dogfish Head from crafting a beverage that honors the late jazz trumpeter.

The Delaware-based brewery has released Bitches Brew to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Davis' landmark album of the same name. A dark combination of stouts and honey beer, Bitches Brew is intended "as the ultimate partner for chili or spicy curry chicken," according to Dogfish founder Sam Calagione. He also said it's to be "sipped cool, not cold, from a snifter or red wine glass while listening to the 'Bitches Brew' album."

Originally released in 1970 as a double album, Davis' 'Bitches Brew' was a pioneering marriage of jazz and rock, and also the first album of his career to achieve Gold status. Sony will be releasing two special anniversary editions of the album in August. The "Legacy Edition" three-disc set includes the original mix of the album, bonus material and a concert DVD. The "40th Anniversary Collector's Edition" adds on another concert disc, a double-vinyl copy of 'Bitches Brew' and a 48-page book.

Like the album, Dogfish's Bitches Brew packs quite a punch with its 9 percent ABV (average domestic beers are around 5 percent). Hey, it's better for you than heroin.
