    Anyone else in Indiana have Dogfish Head for the first time this week?
    I know they had been here before, but had to stop offering because of demand issues about three years ago, but that was before I was really into craft beer and knew about legendary breweries.
    Anyway, Monday I purchased Dogfish Head and tried it for the first time and I am really impressed!
    If you're like me, what did you think about Dogfish Head? What did you buy/try?

    I'm not Indiana but I like DFH, I've been known to have a few bottles on hand. I suggest you give everything they offer a try, you'll like some better than others but you won't know until you sample.

    I snagged a pack of 60 minute and a bottle of 75 minute. 60 minute I've had before, and was just excited to have again. 75 was my first time, and it was a bit disappointing, but still a good beer. I am actually more excited about other breweries seasonal releases than I am about DFH - they could have times it a bit better, like a year ago when they announced they were coming back. :rolling_eyes:

    Yeah I have loved everything I've tried so far. I did not try 75 minute and may pass after the review. A buddy of mine is bringing a bottle of 120 tonight. I will let you all know how it is if you've never had it!

    120 was on tap at Ralston's yesterday, and Twenty Tap has a DFH tap takeover today as well.

    Palo Santo Marron is the perfect cigar beer, perfect.

    You Indiana folk need to get you hands on some DFH Burton Baton. It is an amazing beer. It blows 90 minute out of the water as far as I'm concerned.

    I've had several before and got to try 120 Minute for the first time. I'm hoping WWS gets released here.

    Picked up a bottle of bitches brew, mark up on some of these is ridiculous. I saw individual 12 oz bottles of 120 minute for 9.99. Anyone know if this is just a price skimming strategy by zink, or should I expect these prices to remain as such?

    120 Minute is an 18% beer. $10 is about par for the course for it. Surprised it isn't more expensive, to be honest.

    Dfh world wide stout opened my mind to try them again and have enjoyed their beer ever since actually drinking Palo Santo now and have a world wide stout clone waiting to bottle now definitely suggest grabbing dfh beer

    Damn, wasn't aware it was 18% I guess that makes some sense then. Cheers!

    Olde School Barleywine should be out in the next few weeks also, that is my personal favorite of their warning cap beers. I think it's around fifteen percent and half the price of WWS/120 and a solid sipper especially with some age.

    Whenever it comes back, seek out Squall IPA--so much better than 60/75/90/120...well it is similar to 90, I think it is the unfiltered bottle conditioned version or something along those lines. I thought I heard it was coming back again.

    All of the pricing is inline with other markets.

    I feel your pain about it not being available. When I lived in Wisconsin, we had Dogfishhead and they they stopped distributing to Wisconsin (too much competition from local breweries for it to be worthwhile for them is the excuse we were given) and it was a shame because they make some very good beer.
    I drink it all the time when I visit my inlaws in Maryland though.
