So, over the weekend I finally got to try Dogfish 60 Minute. It didn't taste like beer in the sense I'm used to. For some reason in made me think of Pineapples.

Looking at Vintage labels always reminds me of how far the American brewing industry has come. Pay attention to how many of those beers are just labeled BEER.

Pineapple is definitely one of the flavors beer tasters use to describe beers that have a lot of a certain hop character. You may also notice grapefruit, lemon, or a sort of floral note. These are all characteristic of the aromatic compounds in good hops, especially the Northwestern varieties.
So good work! You have naturally discriminating taste.
I dunno how big Neito is. Never met/seen a picture of him. You and me are big guys; that half-hour figure (which is, in our case, extremely conservative) plus our builds easily yields feats of 120 Minute IPA-drinking that would make Odin proud.
I am quite sad that there are none of the 120 to be found in Orlando (as far as I know).
It got trashed and is currently hitting on your mom.
But seriously, I lubs me some WWS. I still want to try my ultimate black and tan idea: World Wide Stout and 120 Minute. I don't know what would happen or if it would be drinkable, but I feel like I have to do it.
I might be out to Boston in the spring. We may need to do some beer drinking.
Totally. Hit me up.
Also, to answer a previous question about what I normally drink, Magic Hat No. 9. Before I started having opinions on beers, I drank a Sam Adams Double Bock. I can't tell you anything about how I felt about it. I also had some Harpoon (also based in Boston, IIRC) UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen. I liked it, but my friend hated it.
This time of year, though, I'm all about Sam Adams Octoberfest.
Seems they were unhappy with it and scrapped this year's batch.
That's some fucking dedication to your product right there.
With regards to the most recent batch of 120 Minute IPA, I am sorry to say that dozens of passionate people at Dogfish got out voted by millions of yeast cells and this batch will not be released. This batch came in a bit under attenuated and got dinged on our sensory panel for dislocated flavors. Each and every batch of beer we brew at Dogfish Head goes through over 40 Quality Control check points and while this batch passed many of these check points we decided with the results of the final sensory panel, days before packaging, that we dont feel this batch of 120 Minute IPA is up to par. We know that 120 Minute sells at a premium price and we know expectations for this beer are, and should be, high. It is brewed with over 30 times the volume of hops and over 7 times the volume of malt per barrel than your average light lager. It is aged for over 5 times as long as the average ale. So this is a really expensive beer to make. And a really expensive beer to lose. That said,we are more interested in preserving our long-term reputation for quality than we are pacifying short term frustrations with not getting this batch out on a certain timeline. We are sorry and we hope you understand and support our decision. We are confident we will have a great batch of 120 Minute IPA out before the end of the year. Cheers - sam
You didn't add the most important part: it was 4 bucks.
The Russian idea of a 40 is 51 oz and 8% ABV; that equates to 4.08 oz of pure ethyl alcohol, nearly double that of a typical 40. That's 6 full shots of 80 proof liquor in that bottle.
Despite being Belgian, I know little or nothing about bears. Mostly because I don't drink bears. Does anyone know a good bear that I could drink in order to introduce myself to the land beyond pisswater? I'll be in Belgium during my winter break so there'll be no problem finding some bears.

Sure, if calling me that helps you sleep at night. I enjoy the boozes, but that Dogfish Head Brown Ale was a fierce beer.
EDIT: Damn it, now I want to get drunk but I have too much to do this week. I blame you pete and wyatt, we always buy challenging/interesting beer when we hang out, and never drinking beer.
WTF?! I didn't even know there was a Harry Potter theme park.
It's not actually a theme park, it's a land at Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure that used to be called the Lost Continent. It's an elaborate retheming of the land that just opened this summer.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I has a sad about not getting any 120 for a while, though.
8% alcohol, 51 oz. We called it, "bad idea beer."

Here's the info you requested:

That's David "Mouse Guard" Petersen drinking what is supposedly BUTTER BEER.
Even in my alcoholic abstention am tempted to try drinkable butter.
Also, second on the too much of a good thing. I've had many beers, mostly with pete, where drinking just one was a struggle.

Also, someone now has to make butter beer that is actually butter beer.
