Default Dogfish Head brews

I really like Dogfish Head Beer. Their 60 minute IPA is a great beer with plenty of flavor and a nice strong punch. I've been watching the local liquor / beer stores for some variety. I can usually find the Raison D'Etre pretty easily. Beyond those two, other varieties aren't easy to find here in Texas.

I had been looking online and found a large store that had many good reviews for carrying a larger than normal selection of beer. I stoped by this afternoon and found they had 8 different dogfish brews in stock. I decided on two that I hadn't had previously: the "Midas Touch" and "Immort Ale".



Got up to the check out lane and the guy said he just got in a new Dogfish this morning. I told him "go get it". He came back with the "Burton Baton".


Each of the three brews I bought came in a "4-pack". Long story short .... $45 bucks later .... it was the most expensive 12-pack I ever bought.


Side Note>>> Just finished a Burton Baton, and it is darn good! (if you can get over the $4 per bottle price).

I know that the Koonerville people are going to love this thread!

Dogfish Head is a local brewery in Delaware. I know that they offer tours of the plant for free and get free samples. I think that I may make the trip down one day.

After drinking these beers with 8-10% alcohol, I'm not going back to any sissy Busch.

If I ever make it over to Delaware, I'll definitely be hitting one of their Ale houses. Wish I were closer.

Make a weekend trip out here when we have a meet. Make it totally worth the trip. I am sure that the guys would go for a tour also.

I personally will never pay that much for beer. I don't drink beer for taste or style. I drink to get drunk.

Thats funny because I had 4 beers last night. I had a good buzz on 2 and was feeling great on 3. The last one was 11% alcohol. I woke up at 5am with a pounding headache.
