It's no secret that Dogfish Head makes some of our favorite beers. It's a rare day when you can't find some 60 Minute IPA in our back fridge. So when we came across this Dogfish Head Sixty One at one of the local butcher shops, I immediately put it in the cart. Beer brewed with Syrah grape must, how could this possibly be a bad thing? Turns out Alex had already tried it. It was part of a dinner he did with Hari Cameron at a(Muse.) in Delaware last year. He told me that I definitely needed to get it and he was right. This is a complex flavorful beer that encapsulates the flavor of the grapes without being overly fruity or sweet. It is still very clearly an IPA with a nice hoppy edge of bitterness. I had it with runny cheese and wheat crackers and that definitely worked. It's not a beer I would drink every day, but it was a fun change of pace, especially for fall.
