I think the only difference is the Weasel Rodeo has the Kopi Luwak Weasel coffee & the Beer Geek Rodeo does not.
I have had them both, but not side by side. If I remember correctly, the Weasel Rodeo had a stronger coffee punch to it especially in the nose. The chipotle pepper had a subtle smoky warmth on the back end of both. I was surprised how balanced the flavors were for the style.

That's what I thought as well. Which isn't Vietnamese I believe... so something isn't right.

This looks interesting.
Dogfish, Sierra Nevada brew East-meets-West Imperial IPA
Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada, two family-owned craft breweries known for their unique hopping techniques, are deepening the bond they forged with the 2009 collaboration Life & Limb.
Their new beer, an East-meets-West Imperial IPA called Rhizing Bines, will clock in at 8% ABV and 70 IBUs.
“We had a lot of fun brewing the original dark and roasty Life & Limb in Chico with the Grossmans and Sierra Nevada’s extended family,” says Dogfish Head President and Founder Sam Calagione. “We are very proud of the way that beer turned out. Now it’s our turn to repay that hospitality and brew a very hop-centric IPA in Milton with our pals from Chico, incorporating innovative ingredients and techniques from both breweries.”
The beer
On the hot side, Rhizing Bines will go through Dogfish’s signature continual-hopping process with floral and citrusy Bravo hops. On the cold side, it will be dry-hopped with an experimental varietal so new it doesn’t yet have a name, just a number: Hop 644. A component of Sierra Nevada’s aroma-boosting Torpedo system will make a pit-stop in Delaware for dry-hopping duty before it heads to Sierra’s new North Carolina brewery.
To celebrate Sierra Nevada planting East Coast roots, Dogfish Head tracked down a Carolina heirloom wheat grown and milled at Anson Mills. The soft red winter wheat contributes subtle sweet and nutty notes to this hop-forward ale.
“It gives my wife and myself great comfort to know that although we’re leaving our home and friends on the West Coast, we’re joining our craft brewing friends on the East Coast,” says Sierra Nevada General Manager Brian Grossman. “Here’s to great beer!”
The label
The label for Rhizing Bines depicts the pairings behind this beer: two hop varietals, two yeast strains (Chico and Doggie), two unique hopping processes and two family-owned breweries. These bonds start at the root – or rhizome – and stretch throughout the mature bines.
“Sam and his family and the entire Dogfish crew have been friends of ours for a long time,” says Sierra Nevada Founder Ken Grossman. “When we started talking about doing another collaboration we jumped at the chance, especially since this version will be the hoppy counterpoint to the last brews. We couldn’t say no! We’re looking forward to joining forces again. We’ve got one of our Hop Torpedos on a truck right now on its way to Delaware via North Carolina, and we’re eager to taste the finished product.”
Rhizing Bines will be brewed at Dogfish Head’s coastal Delaware brewery. It’s expected to hit taps and shelves throughout Dogfish’s 27-state distribution network in February 2013.

from the Kopi Luwak wiki page:
quote:
Weasel coffee is a loose English translation of its Vietnamese name cà phê Ch?n, where popular, chemically simulated versions are also produced. However, Vietnam has 2 farms with 300 wild civets in Dak Lak.

Kopi luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between US$100 and $600 per pound.[1] The specialty Vietnamese weasel coffee, which is made by collecting coffee beans eaten by wild civets, is sold at $6,600 per kilogram ($3,000 per pound).[

Yeah, I looked and the top of it says that it's produced primarily in Indonesia and the Phillipines, but a few farms in Vietnam as well... hmmmm...

Well hopefully the FBD Network will be able to help you out there!

You didn't know that already? Ouch, yeah should not have looked it up. 
A bunch of us tried the Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel with the same coffee in it, and it was pretty outstanding.

I never thought I'd enjoy beer with shite in it. The shite beer was actually pretty good. All that being said with a shite-eating grin.

I think the story goes that jester king ordered the wrong coffee or the wrong coffee was sent to them, so its actually fake weasel shite, not real. Created in a lab or something. Check their website, cant link at work.

FBD was a Stone 15th (yes, 15th) at The Bulldog. Yum!
SBD is the Abita Wooden Indian IPA on cask at The Bulldog. Horrible. Leaving half of it.

Good one.
No FBD yet. Just got through de-boning some chickens for my first gumbo of the season. Now contemplating FBD. It will not be a Mexican style amber lager.

All this gumbo talk is making me want to make a pot this weekend. Unfortunately I don't have any good sausage in the freezer and its too late to order from Poches for delivery tomorrow. Ugggh.

I started think about it last week and I figured it was time.
FBD is a Racer 5 while the stock is boiling down.
