Hoppy Hour

We like the fact that IPA can educate the masses about the brewing process in general and we really like when a specific one can offer insight on a complex variation of the norm. Enter the ever popular 60 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head, which gets its name from the one hour kettle boil during which over 60 hop additions are added. It is this kind of labor intensive dedication which keeps the bitterness and flavor profile unique and interesting. Released in February 2003 and widely distributed presently throughout the United States, this is the type of brew which has helped put IPA on the map. The brewer offers a wine comparable to a Busty Chardonnay complete with food pairing recommendations including grilled salmon, vintage cheddar, pesto and soy-based dishes.
