Dogfish Head - 60 Minute IPA


This beer comes from Lewes, Delaware's own Dogfish Head Brewing Co. They've gained popularity as one of the rising stars of the craft brewing movement, and it's clear to anyone who's heard their story or seen their viral marketing that they love what they do. Their 60 Minute IPA is one of the most heralded of their beers so I thought I'd give it a go. It's named so because the hops are continuously hopped over 60 times in a 60 minute boiling sesh.
