It’s hard being the sequel, unless you wrote the original story. Inspired by the continual hopping process we invented with 90 Minute IPA, 60 Minute builds on that one-of-a-kind process and flavor, crafting a solid gold hit that’s found its own identity.
Brewed using a boatload of intense Northwest hops, we boil this continually hopped IPA for a full 60 minutes, adding more than 60 hop additions continuously to create a bold and timeless flavor. Continually hopped to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter, 60 Minute IPA is a surprisingly sessionable IPA for the craft enthusiast.
You’ll quickly see why this sequel has become our best selling beer, and why you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again.
The Greatest Invention You’ll Ever Taste
It was back in the mid-90s when we started messing around with extreme versions of super hoppy IPAs. We would use foolhardy amounts of hops, creating a really pronounced bitterness that seemed out of place.
After an ‘aha!’ moment while watching a cooking show on TV, Dogfish Head founder & CEO Sam Calagione tracked down one of those old school vibrating football games to help feed the beer a continual stream of hop pellets. Boom! Continual hopping was born!
You see, traditionally brewers make two hop additions - one big dose early in the boil for flavor, and another bunch at the end for aroma. But thanks to a rigged up football-machine-turned-continual-hopper and our addition of equal increments throughout the entire boil, Sam was able to create an outrageously hoppy IPA, without being crushingly bitter.
Now all these years later, and after much more sophisticated second, third and fourth generation contraptions have taken over our continual hopping process, the theory and execution are essentially unchanged.
In 2019 we celebrate the 20th anniversary of continual hopping and the really special experience that comes with it. Who knew that a thrift store game and a random cooking show would put us on a path to creating ‘the greatest invention you’ll ever taste.’

Delt med K-O i solveggen på Bergstua 17. Mai. Stråfarget. Klar. Høyt kritthvitt kremaktig skum som daler veldig sakte. Spotlacing. Aroma av malt & jordbær. Smaken tørket frukt. Balansert. Tørr lett bitter avslutning.

Golden, cloudy with a medium lacing white head. A tropical fruit, hop, and floral aroma. Medium bitter with a semi dry hop, floral end. This is more or less a 58 minute IPA.

Strong hop profile, piney, a bit bitter. Low carbonation. Can’t believe I’ve never had this. Satanic ska tonight 😈

Bottle, 0.355l. Aroma is floral, herbal, stone fruity, citrusy and biscuity. Pours clear amber color with thin soapy white head, good lacing and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts medium sweet malty, resinous and mild tropical fruity, following is herbal, piney and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is astringent, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Almost 60 minutes of joy…
