Item Notes: Year Round Brews
Name: 60 Minute IPA Type: IPA (Indian Pale Ale) ABV (Alcohol by volume): 6.0% Country of origin: USA Introduced: 2003 Dogfish 60 Minute IPA is continuously hopped - more than 60 hop additions over a 60 minute boil (getting a vibe yet of where the name came from?). 60 Minute is a session India Pale Ale brewed with a slew of great NorthWest hops. A powerful, but balanced East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character. The session beer for hardcore beer enthusiasts!
Type: IPA ABV: 9.0% Introduced: 2001 Esquire Magazine calls this 90 Minute IPA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. 90 Minute IPA was a first continually-hopped beer, which is a method of hopping that allows for a pungent, but not crushing hop flavor. Since introducing the world to the continual-hopping method with Dogfish 90 Minute IPA, we've since released a continually-hopped 60 Minute IPA, 120 Minute IPA and even a 75 Minute IPA (a cask-conditioned blend of 60 & 90 Minute IPAs).
Type: Indian Brown Ale ABV: 7.2% Introduced: 1999 Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid, a cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale, and an American Brown. This Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (magical). The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it; the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. Dogfish dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion as Dogfish 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPAs. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.
Type: ABV: 4.0% Introduced: 2007 Lawnmower is introfor those who need a little help jumping feet first into the crazy world that is Dogfish Head beer. It's a starter beer, but it's not dumbed down. Lawnmower is made with quality ingredients and is a great thirst quencher - perfect to enjoy after a day in the sun mowing the lawn (or anything else that gets you hot and bothered)!
Type: ABV: 9.0% Introduced: 1999 This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world! It is an ancient Turkish recipe using the original ingredients from the 2700 year old drinking vessels discovered in the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between wine & mead; this smooth, sweet, yet dry ale will please the Chardonnay of beer drinker alike.
Type: Brown Ale ABV: 12.0% Introduced: 2007 An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and it's woodhas been used in South Americanwine-making communities.
Type: Ale ABV: 8.0% Introduced: 1999 A deep, mahogany ale brewed with beet sugar, green raisins, and Belgian-style yeast. As complex as a fine, red wine.
Type: Pale Ale ABV: 5.0 Introduced: 1995 This is original brew (them began it all making this very beer on the original teeny, tiny brewery at Rehoboth Beach brewpub back in 1995) and most approachable beer. Shelter Pale Ale is brewed with a premium barley and northwestern Willamette & Columbus hops. The beer has a fine malt backbone and a slightly nutty flavor. Shelter Pale Ale is a versatile, quaffable beer. Occassional Rarities These beers are Occassional Rarities brewed and released once (or in some casesjust afew) times a year. Many have high alcohol contents, which means grab 'em when you can and keep them happy in your cellar!
Type: IPA (Indian Pale Ale) ABV: 18.0% Introduced: 2003 Too extreme to be called beer? Brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month & aged for another month on whole-leaf hops!!!
Type: Golden Ale ABV: 10.0 Introduced: 2007 A Belgian-style Strong ale fermented with blackberries and blueberries.
Type: English strong ale ABV: 10.0% Introduced: 2004 A blend of oak-aged English strong ale and Dogfish 90 Minute I.P.A.. Citrus notes from Northwestern hops meld with vanilla notes from the oak.
Type: ABV: 8.0% Introduced: 2006 Let's travel back in time again (Midas Touch was this first foray and Theobroma most recent), this time 9000 years! Preserved pottery jars found in the Neolithic villiage of Jiahu, in Henan province,Northern China, has revealed that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey and fruit was being produced that long ago - right around the same time that barley beer and grape wine were beinginning tobe made in the Middle East!
Type: Belgian Ale ABV: 18.0% Introduced: 2006 An ale brewed with a ridiculous amount of pureed raspberries (over a ton of em!). Fort has a Belgian Ale type base, then this follow a similar fermentation process as this use on Dogfish other high ABV beers, 120 Minute IPA and World Wide Stout.
Type: Ale ABV: 11.0% Introduced: 1997 Vast in character, luscious & complex. Brewed with peat-smoked barley, Immort is brewed with organic juniper berries, vanilla & maple syrup. It's aged on oak and fermented with a blend of English & Belgian yeasts.

Type: Ancient Ale ABV: 9.0% Introduced: 2008 This beer is based on chemical analysis of pottery fragments found in Honduras which revealed the earliest known alcoholic chocolate drink used by early civilizations to toast special occasions. The discovery of this beverage pushed back the earliest use of cocoa for human consumption more than 500 years to 1200 BC. As per the analysis, Dogfish Head's Theobroma (translated into 'food of the gods') is brewed with Aztec cocoa powder and cocoa nibs (from our friends at Askinosie Chocolate), honey, chilies, and annatto (fragrant tree seeds). It's light in color - not what you expect with your typical chocolate beer. Not that you'd be surpised that we'd do something unexpected with this beer!
Type: Dark Ale ABV: 18.0% Introduced: 1999 YES! This is the beer you've heard so much about. Dark, rich, roasty and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley. Have one with (or as!) dessert tonight!

Collaborations These beers are the result of fun brew days with other breweries from around the world. When this section of the site is completed, it will have information about such Collaboration beers as Life & Limb, Limb & Life, Popskull, Isabelle Proximus, My Antonia and more! Often these are not available through the regular Dogfish wholesalers & retailers.
Type: Imperial Pilsner ABV: Introduced: 2006 Back in May of 2006, Sam Calagione visited the Herold Brewery in Prague to brew an adaptation of our Golden Shower - known as Golden Revolution.
Type: Ale ABV: 4.5% Introdused: 2008 The collaborative beer was the work of five brewers - Sam Calagione (Dogfish), Tomme Arthur (The Lost Abbey), Adam Avery (Avery Brewing), Rob Todd (Allagash), and Vinnie Cirulzo (Russian River). The guys all took a trip to Belgium together a few years back and decided to make a beer together - this is it. The beer was brewed at Tomme's brewery and each company put in a few barrels of beer and some of their house yeast. The result is a tasty sour ale. The original label artwork was painstakingly painted by Sam Calagione.
Type: Strong Dark Ale ABV: 10.0% Introduced: 2009 Life & Limb is a collaborative effort, the brainchild of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Life & Limb is a 10% ABV strong, dark beer that defies style characteristics- brewed with pure maple syrup from the Calagione family farm in Massachusetts and estate barley grown on the Grossman "farm" at the brewery in Chico, CA. The beer is alive with yeast-a blend of both breweries' house strains-bottle conditioned for added complexity and shelf life, and naturally carbonated with birch syrup fresh from Alaska.
Type: Ale ABV: 7.5% Introduced: 2007 A Danish Sour Gruit ale based on a 15th century recipe, this ale is a collaboration between Sam Calagione and Anders Kissmeyer from Norrebro Bryghus Brewery in Copenhagen. Ingredients included pale and dark barley malt, oats, fine syrup (maple syrup from Sam's dad's farm in Massachusetts), smoked dark syrup, fir branches and bark, wood sage, hyssop, blackthorn berries, woodruff, and star spice.
Type: ABV: 7.5% Introduced: 2008 Sam brewed My Antonia at Birra del Borgo (hope you can read Italian) outside Rome, Italy with owner/brewer Leonardo DiVencenzo in October of 2008.
