120 Minute IPA is a VERY strong IPA. It is a limited release beer, and unless you drank one that has aged for a couple of years, odds are it was very malty and not super hoppy. If you drink a "newer" one, it will not have reached its flavor potential.
Try a 60 or 90 minute IPA, or the Raison D'Etre.
So I drank a "newer" one rather than an "older" one and thats why it tasted like shit?
Packaging is complete and in the next few days, Faithfull Ale, our celebration of Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary as a band and its extraordinary debut album, "Ten," will be hitting the market.
Faithfull Ale bottles on the line.
As with many of our new beer releases, we've had a lot of interest in when and where folks will be able to grab & enjoy Faithfull Ale. Here's what we can share at this point.
Ideally, we will sell this beer in all 27 U.S. states in which we currently do business -- but that may not happen. We have applied for state approval in all 27 of those states (full list here). http://www.dogfish.com/company/distribu ... salers.htm
For a variety of reasons, some states may not approve this beer for sale. Some may only approve draft sales. That is all out of our hands. Since this is a brand-new release, we only recently applied to these states -- but approvals have already begun rolling in.
Once we get approval from a state, Faithfull Ale will be added to the next outgoing order for each wholesaler. This means that the beer will be leaving our Milton, DE brewery in waves over the next few weeks. Once it travels to a wholesaler in a particular state, it will then need to travel to retailers throughout their sales territory. We cannot tell you exactly which day it will appear on the shelves in your area (assuming you are in one of the 27 U.S. states where we do business). We do not plan to export any of this beer outside of the U.S.
Beginning Wednesday, October 19th we will beging selling Faithfull Ale from our brewery Tasting Room in Milton, DE and our brewpub in downtown Rehoboth Beach, DE. Here's how that will happen:
Sales from the Brewery Tasting Room in Milton, DE will begin at 11am on Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Bottles of Faithfull Ale will retail for $12.50, and there is a 2-bottle-per-person limit.
Sales from our to-go kiosk at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE will begin at noon on Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Bottles of Faithfull Ale will retail for $12.50, and there is a 2-bottle-per-person limit.
We will not reserve, hold or maintain a list for this beer. Faithfull Ale will be available first-come, first-serve from our brewery & brewpub. We have no idea how long our supply will last.
Although we are keeping some of the batch to sell from our brewery & brewpub, the vast majority of this beer will be sold through our wholesale and retail partners. Once the beer begins hitting the retailers and as the wholesalers update their sales data with our database, Faithfull Ale will appear on our Fish Finder. Please note that the database shows where our beers have been delivered to retailers in the past 60 days. The Fish Finder cannot show if it is still in stock, so it is always best to call & confirm first before travelling any significant distance in search of a beer.
We're tried to answer any and all questions here. There are probably some we haven't addressed (we'll add to this article if necessary). We've been getting lots and lots of calls, emails, posts and tweets about Faithfull Ale. If we've missed replying to yours, we're sorry.
And in keeping with the music theme, we also recently announced we'll be re-releasing batches of the Miles Davis-inspired Bitches Brew and Robert Johnson-inspired Hellhound On My Ale. Both of those beers will begin shipping to wholesalers beginning with orders next week. You'll be able to find them in stores over the next few weeks as well.
Thanks for all your interest in our beers, we hope you enjoy 'em. Cheers!

It's not often we hear this here in Sunny DE. My dad is retired and currently residing at the DE beaches. I think I'll give dear old dad a call to pick me up a couple of bottles on Wednesday. I'll treat him to a draft of it for his trouble. He was pretty excited about trying it too!
Sweet!! I wonder how it goes with Italian Sausage
I see a six pack of this stuff getting hidden at the top of Alpine Meadows for a pre-last run session...muhaha
Still need maybe 1 or 2 persons to get me 1 or 2 bottles if possible. I already have 2 persons that will try, but just in case they dont succeed. Would really like to have 1 to drink and 1 to keep (if i can control myself ). This will not be available in the Netherlands, so hope someone can help out. Offcourse i will pay all expenses, probably will pay for 1 bottle for the buyer also.

their dogfish selection has been lacking of late.
i'm spent some time last week trading emails with binnys and than opened up a second door at my other beer place.
hehe...
only if i don't score some local....
thanks for the tip. i will be using that to my advantage!
i stopped in my second place and asked the guy if they were getting any....
he wrote it down and said he would give his sales person a call to get it added to the order. :P too bad it's all still out on delaware.
binny's guy was helpful, but not as helpful as the little guy is.
I see a six pack of this stuff getting hidden at the top of Alpine Meadows for a pre-last run session...muhaha
