Beer Connoisseurs: Ever try Dogfish Head?
 

This is Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. This is perhaps the best beer I've ever had. Found it in a bar in Manhattan the other day, so I went out and grabbed it at BevMo when I got back home. It's $11 for a 4 pack. LOL

But... it's 9% ABV. Packs a punch.

very good stuff..I prefer the 60 min IPA, the pumpkin beer is also pretty damn good.

I do believe Ive tried it once...

Tried it a few times here...the brand.... Didn't like it much.

Did you move GhettoThugs to NYC?

DFH makes some pretty weird brews but most of them are good. The 90 min is very good. 60 min is good too. 120 Min needs to be aged like wine but it can be incredible given a few years. Their Punkin Ale is one of the best pumpkin ales I have had. Love their World Wide Stout too. Forte - raspberry sour ale - I didn't care for too much and Chicha I just can't bring myself to try.

I've tried most of what they make and Sam Calagione is a genius when it comes to taking beer to another level. If you want a business book to read try his book Brewing up a business. At times he rambles on but there is good insight in the book. And then there is the new show on Discover, Brew Masters which is all him.

As their tag line says, "Off centered beer for off centered people."

Great beer, don't forget to try Stone Brewery's Ruination IPA or Arrogant Bastard. Also recommend Dreadnaught IPA

I must partake of the dogfish.hope it's available up here somewhere

Ruination is top notch!

Definitely a good IPA, I prefer Odell's.

Don't drink many IPAs huh? Never had one that wasn't in the 9% range. :winkwink:

Craft beers are sure pushing the ABV up there. On the extremes you have Brewdog in Scotland that made the 32% ABV (64 proof) Tactical Nuclear Penguin.

PS. if you like IPAs try the Scuttlebutt Gale Force IPA - only 5.25% ABV but has all the flavor and bitterness (96 IBU) you want.

Brewdog has a new IPA too - Sink the Bismarck, 41% ABV (82 proof)!

Where in manhattan did you find it?

Yeah that's good shit

It was the House of Brews at:

302 W 51st St # 1
New York, NY 10019

What are you doing tonight?

Holy fuck. I think that would put me in a coma. I'm already pretty far off after 2 Dogfish Head and 2 Pyramid Apricot Ale's...

If you drink that kind of beer, you're not a true drinker. You're a wannabe.

deej... you look great! But stay off the darky dunk! :ticking

in this case a wannabe with taste for the good and special things in life :)
being just a dumb drinker is not doing it anymore :)

Pumpkin beer??? really? how its taste?

Dogfish Head is great stuff. Its a little more on the pricey side but it only takes a couple bottles to knock you on your ass. I'm surprised some of you east coast people are just finding out about it, or haven't heard of it since it's brewed in Delaware.
If you get a chance check out this Squall IPA.

I've tried the Saison du Buff which was done by DFh, Victory and Stone. All 3 breweries made the same beer with the same recipe. The results obviously differ.

The Saison du Buff has parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme in it and it tastes great. It's got quite a strong hop flavour which means the herbs don't overpower the beer.

I'd love to get my hands on some DFH beers but her in the Netherlands it's simply not available :(

Oh, people should watch the "Brew Masters" show.

Doesnt that company have a show on history channel or something like that?

IPA's suck.

i was just about to say that

good stuff :thumbsup

I pay a bit over $11 for a 4 pack of

Yeah, makes me want to piss on the hallway...

Yes, it's called "Brew Masters" :winkwink:
And it's on Discovery Channel

not too bad a price to be honest.

Never tried it, but I've brewed my own and know the appeal of experimentation. I enjoy the brewing information parts of the tv show. The employees each get a case of beer with every paycheck. Good trend!

I've brewed twice myself, I love it. Right now we(me and 2 friends) have a really really nice beer. Hope to expand on it :)

noooooooooooo

IPAs are prob some of the best beers on the planet, so hoppy.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

This thread made me crave a beer.

If we are talking IPA's one of my favorite beers ever comes from a little known brewery http://www.russianriverbrewing.com. It is called Pliny the Elder Double IPA 8%

There stuff is impossible to find in stores. KNL and Whole Foods carry it, but as soon as it arrives, it sells out.


It's amazing. If you can get your hands on it, do so!

I've got a few of those in my fridge. For friends.

I'll pick myself up some of that next time I'm at Whole Foods.

My girlfriend was fucking making me do math last night after having 4 beers. Pretty messed up.

It's really hard to find. If there out, ask one of the beer people when more will arrive.

Dogfish Head Raison D'Etre is also amazing!

from their site!

A deep, mahogany Belgian-style brown ale brewed with beet sugar, raisins, and Belgian-style yeast.

We began brewing this one at our brewpub in 1996 (we began packaging and selling it sometime in 1998) as the answer to the question, "What beer should I enjoy with a wood-grilled steak?" Raison D'Etre fits the bill, tasty and as complex as a fine, red wine.

Funny name for a beer, eh?

It's nice because it's not too overpowering pumpkin taste, there are spices like cinnamon and some clove thrown in, gives it a nice balance.

I also really recommend Young's double chocolate stout, I had some over the Xmas break again. Super good stuff. Creamy, chocolatey, smooth goodness. A+ in my book.

never liked it to be honest -> I'll all for Stella, but Windhoek lager was my favorite for like 10 years, can't find it where I am though

Try a Left Hand Milk Stout
