I don’t know how much it costs to brew beer these days but I can say paying $8 for a FOUR pack, a FREAKING four pack of beer is insane. Whatever happened to a six pack?
I think Dogfish Head is overpriced myself, for being brewed right down the street, but they get some mad props from the NY Times. So next time someone asks what they can bring to your party, request the beer, just don’t buy it yourself.
Our favorite was the robust 90 Minute Imperial I.P.A. from Dogfish Head, a beer that balances its exaggerated caramel and chocolate sweetness with a bracing bitterness derived from hops. If you sneer at the 90 Minute, Dogfish also occasionally issues its 120 Minute I.P.A., which, at 20 percent alcohol, may well be, as the brewery contends, “the biggest I.P.A. ever brewed.”
