At Dogfish Head, the Imperial IPA Is Born

Imagine a world before IPAs. Can’t do it, can you, Taplines listener? But it’s true: around the turn of this century, the American craft brewing landscape was awash in ambers, brown ales, lagers, and precious few versions of the hop-forward India pale ales that would come to dominate the category a decade later. The ones you could get ahold of in 1999 were mostly well-balanced West Coast-style IPAs. A continuously hopped imperial IPA from an East Coast brewery was quite literally unheard of. Which is where today's guest — Dogfish Head Craft Brewery founder Sam Calagione — and his genre-definining 90 Minute Imperial IPA come in. Don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
