    I'm a fan of 90-minute, and I think Burton Baton is the best beer they make. Aprihop is delicious. 120 minute is a love it or hate it beer, and I love it. It's maybe the most unique beer I've ever had. Palo Santo is great. India Brown has never blown me away. I've never had WWS or Raison, but I'm sure I'd like it. When it comes down to it, DFH has at least 8 beers I really enjoy and that says it all. I'll try anything they come out with, at the very least it will be well made and it will bring something different to the table.

    I'd take Indian Brown, Palo Santo and Burton Baton all day everyday. Great beers.

    I've always liked Dogfish Head. My favorites are Palo Santo, WWS, Indian Brown, and Squall.

    I agree, they just do what they do, regardless of what people think.

    The 90 and Chicory Stout are my two favorites from DFH.

    I almost always order a 120 when they have it on tap at Novare Res. But would go with 90 min for this answer.

    One of my favorite all-time beers was Squall IPA. Please bring that one back :slight_frown:

    Burton Baton and Palo Santo are my favorites. I could drink 90 Min IPA all the time if I could get it regularly.

    lots of utterly great beers.

    aged world wide stout borders on perfection.

    i think i've had the experience of letting someone try burton baton and seeing their mind get blown at the potential of beer at least 5 times.

    still, i think squall IPA is probably their best beer. the flavor combination just stands out above so many others for me... a lot of beer wins me over by being a celebration of its ingredients, but squall is sort of a mystery to me. even though i'm a far better guitar player than a brewer, it reminds me of hearing a song that, despite knowing how to play music, still retains that "i have no idea how they do that..." magic*. love it.

    * note, the need for such magic in order to appreciate music comes early on in a musician's development, so if you want to play music and at all rely on that "wow, they're magicians!" mystique in your enjoyment of music, enter the world of playing it yourself at your own risk...

    i'm sure many of you know what i'm talking about; think of how you heard a song before you knew what chords it was comprised of, then think of it after. it's a pretty dramatic shift that happens, and in my opinion it really sucks.

    60, 90 minute, India Brown, Raison D'Extra.

    WWS, Midas Touch, 120 min were all interesting for sure, but not something I would ever buy again, too boozy/sugary.

    Really want to try Burton Batton & Bitches Brew

    I like the majority of their stuff, but Theobroma is my favorite beer they make.

    Palo, Indian brown, and squall. Festina is on my top 5 list of vastly underrated beers. As staed previously, the PERFECT summer beer!

    Burton Baton is my favorite, but Aprihop is a great brew, always signaling the start of spring.

    Punkin, Festina, Aprihop, Burton Baton and all the minutes (haven't had 75 yet though)
    I also have a WWS I'm sitting on. Can't wait for that

    I've gotta go with Palo Santo or Burton Baton.

    i think fungus tea'mungus is even more perfect. would like the world to subtly change so that 12oz cans of fungus tea'mungus every summer was a possibility.

    My Antonia and Life&Limb for sure, the others...meh. To be fair I haven't had alot of them, but their year rounds aren't mind blowing.

    There are several beers of theirs that I gave a 4 or more for. 90 Minute and a properly cellared World Wide Stout top my list.

    Bitches Brew, Burton Baton, 90, 120 are all fantastic. I hope they make BItches Brew again soon. Looking forward to 75 minute if it comes this way.

    Palo Santo Marron is probably one of my faves from DFH now, but 90 min and WWS are some of the first beers to get me interested in the craft beer scene.
