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.’

Keg at the Keg Room. Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Aroma is piney good with some caramel and grain. Taste is an old skool IPA with the bitter hops supported by a solid caramel malty base that sweetened the finish. Pretty decent stuff.

Bottle. Golden color. Aroma of pale malt, mild herbal pine and bitters. Taste has herbal pine, bitter grassy hop, malt and some subtle citrus. This might have been good in the age before the hop trend, but now it?s like a more bitter pilsner.

330 ml bottle ffrom Beergium, bottled 09/20/16.
Amber, clear body, with a medium, fluffy, moderately lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of grass, herbs, some onion, citrus, some pine, subtle fruits.
Tastes of grapefruit, caramel, honey, stone fruits, some tropical fruits, some grass, some pine.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit sweet, zesty, piney, a bit fruity, with some honey.
Very nice. The nose is quite strange, maybe there’s something wrong with my bottle. The taste isn’t spoiled though, really lovely, with lots of fruits, but also a broad malt body. Hopefully I get to rate another (fresher) bottle, while this is still really quaffable.

From a 355ml bottle on 9/2/2017. Pours an opaque medium golden with a small head. The nose features muted fruity hops. Features a light caramel malt backbone, some light sweet citrus fruit, a touch of honey, and a moderate, slightly herbal, lingering hop bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Okay but pretty subdued and uninspiring for the style.
