Dogfish Head Brewing

The story of Dogfish Head began in June of 1995 when we opened Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats – the first state’s first brewpub – in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Dreamed up by our co-founders Sam & Mariah Calagione, the plan was to bring original beer, original food and original music to the area … and we did just that! Not only was Dogfish Head Delaware’s first brewpub, it was the smallest commercial brewery in America. With our very first batches brewed on a system that was essentially three little kegs with propane burners underneath, we were brewing 12–gallon batches of beer for a whole restaurant. It proved to be more than a full time job and when the doors to the brewpub first opened, we brewed three times a day, five days a week! The benefit? Brewing on such a small system gave us the ability to try out a myriad of different recipes.

30 MINUTE IPA

The little sibling of 60 Minute, 90 Minute and 120 Minute IPAs has officially been born. We continually hopped this brew for 30 minutes to get a less bitter, more aromatic & easier drinking Light IPA. It’s hoppy, crisp, and crushable!​

60 MINUTE IPA

It’s hard being the sequel, unless you wrote the original story. Inspired by the continual hopping process we invented with 90 Minute IPA, 60 Minute builds on that one-of-a-kind process and flavor, crafting a solid gold hit that’s found its own identity. Brewed using a boatload of intense Northwest hops, we boil this continually hopped IPA for a full 60 minutes, adding more than 60 hop additions continuously to create a bold and timeless flavor. Continually hopped to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter, you’ll quickly see why this sequel has become our best selling beer, and why you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again.

90 MINUTE IPA

Back in the 90’s, Sam was struck by a cooking show demo teaching viewers how to properly season soup through a process of continuous peppering. As it stewed and simmered, the chef added pepper in small but consistent doses, bringing through a unique bold taste and intense savory notes. Enter our thrift store electric football game, originally invented by Norman Sas. If rigged at just the right angle over the brew kettle, the hops would come cascading down into the boiling wort at a consistent rate. Continual hopping was born! With rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas and a strong malt backbone, 90 Minute IPA created pungent, unapologetic flavor that led Esquire to call it “perhaps the best IPA in America.”

WORLD WIDE STOUT

Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, roasty and complex. This ageable ale clocks in at 15-20% ABV and has a depth more in line with a fine port than with a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer. World Wide Stout debuted in the winter of 1999, and the staying power of this brew is undeniable. This one only gets better with age.
