On March 18, 1962; Michael Gregory "Mike" Rowe was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Mike is best known as the host of the Discovery Channel series Dirty Jobs.
In season 1 of Dirty Jobs, episode titled Chick Sexer, mike was a baby chicken sexer, oyster harvester, and beer brewer. The episode originally aired August 16, 2003. During that episode, Mike visited Long Trail Brewing in Bridgewaters Corners, Vermont.
As to the beer:
This malty, full-bodied double alt is also known as "Stickebier" -German slang for "secret brew". double Bag was originally offered only in out brewery taproom as a special treat to our visitors. With an alcohol content of 7.2%, please indulge in moderation. The Long Trail Brewing Company is very proud to have Double Bag named Malt Advocate's "Beer of the Year" in 2001. Malt Advocate is a national magazine devoted to "expanding the boundaries of fine drinks". Their panel of judges likes to keep things simple, and therefore of thousands of eligible competitors they award only two categories; "Imported" and "Domestic". It is a great honor to receive this recognition!The beer comes in at 7.2% ABV.
So, for Mike Rowe's birthday, have an award winning beer from the first brewery he went to in season 1 of Dirty Jobs. Stickebier sounds kind of dirty anyway, doesn't it?
