Dogfish Head IPAs are delicious

One of my roommate's friends came to visit and brought a few beers for a beer tasting.

Along with a few bottles of a home-brewed beer, he brought us three bottles of "Dogfish Head" IPA, one each of the 60, 90, and 120 minute varieties. (The time represents the length for which the hops were boiled)

The 60 minute Dogfish Head IPA is a respectable IPA, and definitely worth another drink. It had a nice bit of body to it and a good amount of hops. (6% abv)

The 90 minute was phenomenal and much hoppier and sweeter than the 60. The bitterness was spot on, though it was a tiny bit sweet. Afterwards the 60 minute seemed to taste like Sierra Nevada. (9% abv)

The 120 minute IPA was very, very sweet almost like a soda. There was a lot of hop flavor but it was overwhelmed. It was interesting, but tasted like something other than an IPA. (Alcohol content listed as "ages well")

Pictures of Signs


Hi and welcome.

The pictures and the tag line come from a collection of photos I started this summer. I'd noticed a few signs with terrible punctuation or wording and decided to start taking pictures. The sign advertising "Identity Theft" as a service was from a sweet corn festival I went to with a few friends.

The other sign comes from Stewart's and seemed just strange enough to be worth a picture. I think they sell so much coffee because "sell lots, so fresh" but that's just my vote. I could see someone making the argument that it's because "great things with it," but I can't help wonder if the sign maker disagreed, since he didn't check any boxes.
