JayDubya While dosed beer would be awesome, a more realistic ingredient might be rose pedals.

It is an Imperial IPA so the magical ingredient will need to be pretty powerful to be noticeable in that beer, rose pedals wouldn't cut those hops.

I'm going to agree with you. They went from focusing on extreme brewing to focusing on extreme marketing. That Brew Masters show on Discovery was completely ridiculous, the owner Sam seems like a complete tool.

joonze wondering what hops they will use....that can make the difference it a true adjunct to be added and tasted....
if it were a phish beer then there are a lot of possibilities
Coconuts and Chloroform?

johnnyd The first couple 4-pks of Dogfish I ever bought were skunked. That set the tone for me.
I'll drink the 60 on draught, but otherwise its not one of my favorite breweries at all.

I totally agree, that show turned me off them. Though I will say that I really like their Pangea beer, that one is really good. All the other ones are a bit much IMO...

Jayem I am far from an expert but aren't weed and hops in the same family? Could them make it with weed? If so that's a cool idea but would actually prefer it to not be associated with the GD brew. To much of that 'drug band' stuff to deal with.

To each his own....60 minute is an excellent session IPA. 90 minute is delicous. The India Brown is very good as well.

Yeah, I've seen it once. I don't think it gets really wide distribution though. Then again, I haven't been beer shopping in quite a while.

The 90 minute IPA is the IPA that got me into IPA's. Other than that their stuff is pretty meh. Last interesting beer I had from them was Midas Touch, but it's nothing I feel the need to have again.

However, a rose pedals would be appropriate to compliment the floral elements of the beer. If they want something that is going to be noticeable it will have to be pretty bold. Something subtle but meaningful might be a better bet.

However, I agree with all who are over Dogfish Head. Loved it back in '02ish when I first heard about it, but I have found so much better beer since then.

me_no_are_no_nice_guy Dogfish head seems to be a brewery that a lot of people who are just getting into microbrews get into for a while. It's a good starting point I guess. But eventually you'll have stuff from Founders, Great Lakes, Deschutes, etc and realize that there is SO much better out there.

WHA?? They have several excellent beers. Black Butte Porter, Inversion IPA, Obsidian Stout, not to mention a lot of their more limited release stuff.

I do also love Great Divide and put them right up there as well.

They also make a 120 minute that I've only seen a couple of times. One of the few times I've seen it was actually on Phish lot. Dude made it his goal to sell two of them during the day. It's overrated if you ask me. There is definitely such a thing as too much hops.

I think 60 min and 75 min are probably their best brews...75 is rare but if you can snag a bottle, do it. I've tried a TON of their other ones too. Dogfish Head isn't bad like some people make them out to be but they just push the boundaries of beer which I think is awesome. I've really enjoyed some of the weird things they've put out over the last few years.

I think the 120 is a 90!!! IBU. Indeed, too much hops...

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel coming out of his fly.

The bartender sees it and asks the pirate, "What's with the steering wheel?"

The pirate answeres, "Aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr, it's driving me nuts."
