    Looks like I am a little late to the party, but the cheapest I have found it in Delaware is a little liquor store in Wilmington that always has 120 and WWS on the shelf for $7.99. Every other store around here carries it, but $9.99 or $10.99 is almost always the price point.

    When I have seen DFH 120 cheap it's usually failry old.

    Isn't that like, 1? 2 at most. How many beers can you fit in a hand?

    Grab them by putting the necks of the bottles in between your fingers. Can get at least 4 that way....

    Everytime I read this thread title, I think it says 'Burying Dogfish Head 120', which, in my opinion is not a bad idea. They used to suggest that on some of their labels. Grab a shovel, get to diggin!

    8.00 is a good deal!!! Its 7.65 at the store I frequent. Ive seen it as high as 14.99

    Its a sweet tasting, low carb IPA. I def would stay in for the night if you plan on drinking more than 1

    At that price I say snag up a couple 4 packs.
    Like others have said even if it ends up not being your cup of tea there always seems to be people on the lookout for it.

    8 bucks at the giant eagle in Pittsburgh. I picked up a couple last time they had it.

    Why doesn't any ever mention the calories in this thing? 450!!!! It's not something I usually care about but 450!?! That's a ton for 1 beer.

    I doubt it's low carb.

    Oh I'm definitely one of them.


    In any case, just to keep things relevant, I think fresh 120 is better than aged 120. After a few years all the high-abv Dogfish beers kinda start to taste the same. That being said, I'd drop $8 on a bottle in a heartbeat.

    120 is definitely a weird one, ive had it fresh on tap and aged 5 years. After 5 years it takes on a liquid fig newton flavor. Whats funny though is in NC I i cant get it at all and i get asked for it every single day but in oregon the bar i worked at had it on tap at $5 for a 10oz pour and i couldnt give it away. I do tend to think its priced a little high but with all the attention it gets, sam can ask whatever he wants for it. Is there anyone here who can dispute that its a beer that must be tried at some point?
