"Brewed to a colossal 45-degree plato, boiled for a full 2 hours while being continuously hopped with high-alpha American hops, then dry-hopped daily in the fermenter for a month & aged for another month on whole-leaf hops!!!Our 120 Minute I.P.A. is by far the biggest I.P.A. ever brewed! Between 15-20% abv and 120 ibus you can see why we call this beer THE HOLY GRAIL for hopheads!"
Basically for those of you who have had it and enjoy it a lot (like me) it is a hoppy, heavenly, high-alcohol beer that is matched by few. I'm pretty sure this beer was what turned me into an extreme beer enthusiast because it was my first exposure to an extreme beer out of the norm, or in the words of Dogfish themselves, "Off-centered".
If any of you ever watched Brewmasters on the Discovery channel this past fall you are well aware that Dogfish had to dumb their last batch of 120-minute because it did not meet the high standards for quality they have set. They basically lost not just a batch of beer but also hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now don't expect to see it everywhere. The brewery only made a smaller batch and are going to be releasing it pretty much immediately to their wholesalers and then depending on shipping times and other factors it will be hitting shelves in the next few days to few weeks. It will only be available in 19 states though. This is due to the fact that some states do not allow the sale of beer this high in alcohol, and some states just don't get Dogfish beer.
