From William Brand's excellent Beer Blog "What's On Tap"
At last! Sam Calagione just e-mailed me with the news that Dogfish Head beers are headed to California. They’ve lined up distributors and the first shipment’s on its way –hopefully to a store near me (and you.). Here’s his note: QUOTE Hello William - we are finally getting our beer to California - we are starting with three styles in April, 90 Minute imperial IPA, Midas Touch, and our newest beer - Palo Santo Marron. All three are available in 4 packs and limited draft. It is now even better to be on the West Coast. zymot |

Dogfish Head is good and all, but with all you have to choose from out there, I wouldn't even give much of a shit.

That is great. I didn't realize it was not available over there. They have good beers and I enjoy it being offered in Florida

Dogfish head and Sam were the special guests at this year's Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival... We don't get it up here but maybe that's going to change since Washingotn, Oregon and California will now be selling it.
Looking on their website it looks like they've been upgrading/building a new brewery to increase demand: Dogfish Head Brewery Expansion Continues Can't find your favorite Dogfish Head beer??? Never fear... we are expanding the brewery to meet demand! Phase 1 (new packaging line), Phase 2 (new, huge warehouse), and now Phase 3 (adding a bunch of fermentation tanks) are complete. And we've now completed Phase 4 (installation of our new 100-bbl brewhouse)! What's next? Phase 5 (on-site restaurant) someday soon! What does this mean for you? Hopefully more great Dogfish Head beer at a store/bar/restaurant near you - Enjoy! This post has been edited by SPLASTiK: Mar 1 2008, 03:56 PM |

I never had any of the dog fish head stuff, but how much do you guys pay? I saw it in a beer store today for 10.99 per bottle. Didn't buy it 'cause I am just too cheap I guess. Is it worth the price?

No it's not worth 10.99 a bottle.
Was it the 120? |

yeah, it was the 120 but I think the 90 was the same price as well.

No beer is worth 11 bucks a bottle.

BrewBasser I tried this at $30.00 per bottle (IMG:http://www.beerstore.com.au/beerstore/uploads/beerImages/Deus_Brut_Flanders_L.jpg) Good, but I will not buy another bottle. Very good beer is now in the $7-$8/six pack range. I would rather have 3 or 4 six packs instead. zymot |

In Florida DFH is $10 for a 4 pak of 90 minute. and $9-10 a bottle for 120 minute. I bought the 120 once and enjoyed it but I more than likely won't buy it again. I think it is crazy to spend a lot on beer when you can brew it. However, I have to be the first to admit I spend way too much on commercial beer and I don't brew enough.
