Dogfish Head's Sixty-One was born at the crossroads of serendipity, experimentation and brotherhood.
Whenever Dogfish Head President Sam Calagione and his neighborhood friends gather for drinks, they give each other a big ol' man-hug and order a round of 60 Minute IPA. A few years ago, Sam also ordered a glass of his favorite red wine and poured a little into each pint of 60 Minute. They all dug the combination of fruity complexity and pungent hoppiness, and the blend became a beloved tradition.
Sixty-One captures that tradition in a bottle and marries two Dogfish Head innovations: beer/wine hybrids – which Dogfish has focused on for well over a decade with beers like Midas Touch and Raison D'être – and continually-hopped IPAs.
Four-packs of Sixty-One, which clocks in at 6.5% ABV, will be available four times a year throughout Dogfish Head's 27-state distribution network, pending local approval. We'll start shipping to wholesalers in about a week, so keep your eye on the Fish Finder to see where Sixty-One been delivered.
