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.’

One of the better offerings from Midland On Tap tasting at the CAF. It was served a complimentary dark yellow and possessed a great, long lasting eggshell foam. Scent of grass and pine. Taste was a good slug of hoppiness with an earthy spruce. Sort of a 90 Minute light. Good but no world changer.

Shared 12 oz. bottle. Clear gold color, white head. Aroma of citrus, floral notes. Taste is citrus, pine, malt, yeast. Not as flavorful as a lot of IPAs, but simple and clean.

12oz bottle. Nose is pine, caramelised orange, wood. Flavour is pine with some refreshing fruitiness with melon, orange and lemon notes. There’s plenty of cereal maltiness and, somewhat bizarrely, a little black pepper. Very little in the way of aftertaste.

Bottle into a shaker showing well filtered, honey wooden hues and sparse white foam. The nose shows toasted and nutty notes with light hints of apple and honey. But the nose is completely dry. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Flavors of dry caramel malts show through out the beer. Perfect maltiness if there ever was any. Light IPA bitterness on the finish. Great modern American IPA.
