ORIGINAL: AW1Steve Anything by Dogfish ale (especially one of their IPA's). Single malt if I'm beating Sprior (Usually I drink water playing him). i had a friend who is a beer officiando and we used to find "strange" beers (from different microbreweries) and try them out... Dogfish Ale was so vile he poured his out, i had to literally choke down any swallows of it... we immediately renamed it Dogsh!t Ale... of course, maybe it was a couple of bad bottles, but i refuse to try it again (so far)... Dogfish is extremely hoppy , and very definately an aquired taste. If you like the British style ales, you might work up to it. If you perfer German or American lagers , I promise that you will loath it. I had to work up to them , and I've been drinking British ales (especially IPA's) since 1983. If you don't like ales with descriptions such as "double IPA", "Imperial IPA" , or similar handles, giving a larger drink a dogfish is like offerring a 13 year old a martini or a neat single malt--the taste buds just are not trained. Hmmm.... while i am not a big fan of IPAs, my friend WAS (probably still is) a fan of them... so maybe it was a pair of bad bottles. Hi, I think you nailed it when you said you might have had 2 bad bottles. My bro lives in Maryland and Dogfish has a resturant/brewhouse by his house. It's always the first place we go after he picks us up from Dulles. If you really want to give the taste buds a work out you need to try Dogfishes 18% Raspberry Wheat....goes down real smooth after a couple of hours of snow blowing during the winter. Flanyboy, I'm in St Paul so Hudsons not to far away. New Glaru's Raspberry Tart Beer is a wonderful after dinner beer. It goes great with a piece of cheese cake.
