    Was at their brewpub again today, they are selling the bottles for $8.50 so I imagine retail stores will charge anywhere from $9 to $15.

    You think they will ever bottle another sour/american wild? Maybe even bring back Festina Lente?

    It sounds like now they actually have a specifically-brewed 75 Minute, but in the past, if you ordered a 75 Minute at the brewpub, you would get a 50/50 blend of 60 and 90 Minute. That's all it ever was until now.

    I doubt it. I've asked everyone I could down there and the answer is always no.

    the DC locations are not really owned by DFH; they just licensed the name and are required to carry certain menu items.

    Hey Doc, I live in the Detroit area and I have had a lot of luck using the "Fish finder" on the DFH website to find 120. 3 different stores in the last 2 weeks. Give it a try.

    I was at the Weekend of Compelling Ales and Whatnot. The 75 Minute was available in bottles and plentiful, and a good deal I think at $8.50 for a 750 ml. Sam was talking and answering questions for a while in the tent, and if I'm not mistaken he said we will see another batch of Festina Lente in the near future, maybe a year or so.

    Thanks for the heads up! I had my brother pick up a few bottles of 75 minute the other week and when I saw this I called around for 120 minute. I was able to get a case of 120 from a local distributor.

    75 Minute will be hitting the shelves of several popular beer stores in the Chicago area tomorrow. I know of one that put it out yesterday and was gone before I got there, so I am crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

    I asked Sam this at WOCAAW this past weekend and he said, they were planning on releasing a batch, probably through the brewpub next year. Not sure if that means they've already brewed and aging, or if they are going to add peaches from this year.

    The Alehouse 75 is actually a mix of the 60 and 90, which is commonly found at the DC area locations. It's a distinct item from the 75 minute, which will be wide-released. It is a little confusing.

    While I enjoy the DC-area alehouses, I really do wish they were owned by DFH.

    The description on the bottle suggests 60 & 90 were brewed separately and blended with maple syrup as the sugar for bottle conditioning.

    I like the DFH IPA's, the 75min is really good I think. I just hate the 750ml bottles. I end up drinking the whole thing at dinner, and then want more.

    Anyone know how long this will keep? I've got around 8 of them at the moment, and don't know if I should chug 'em and share 'em or let them sit a while longer?

    On an avatar note, which is great btw, I've always wanted to homebrew a bock beer and call it "Kiss the Goat" in honor of King!

    Enjoying one right now. Blend of 60 & 90 Minute with maple syrup added. Very smooth and easy drinking. Picked up at Yankee Spirits in MA. $10.99 for a 750 ML.
