Dogfish Head - 120 Minute IPA
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 8:58 pmHi everyone!
This is my first post on these forums though I've been looking at this website for a couple years now - I've appreciated everyone's bourbon reviews, they've helped me avoid some "bourbon" and find a few special bottles along the way.
Right now I'm about halfway through a bottle of Dogfish Head - 120 Minute IPA, bought it in a mixed six-pack with 5 other beers so couldn't tell you its price. But I can tell you this - it's delicious, and one is enough for an evening. It's 20% abv, and loaded with hops. Apparently, the beer was boiled for 2 hours being continually hopped, then daily dry-hopped for a month, and aged for another month "on whole-leaf hops", whatever that last part means.
It went well with butternut squash ravioli, I don't know what that means generally for food pairings. Does anybody know if there are general food pairings for hoppy beers?
