With regards to the most recent batch of 120 Minute IPA, I am sorry to say that dozens of passionate people at Dogfish got out voted by millions of yeast cells and this batch will not be released. This batch came in a bit under attenuated and got dinged on our sensory panel for dislocated flavors.
Each and every batch of beer we brew at Dogfish Head goes through over 40 Quality Control check points and while this batch passed many of these check points we decided with the results of the final sensory panel, days before packaging, that we dont feel this batch of 120 Minute IPA is up to par.
We know that 120 Minute sells at a premium price and we know expectations for this beer are, and should be, high. It is brewed with over 30 times the volume of hops and over 7 times the volume of malt per barrel than your average light lager. It is aged for over 5 times as long as the average ale. So this is a really expensive beer to make. And a really expensive beer to lose.
That said,we are more interested in preserving our long-term reputation for quality than we are pacifying short term frustrations with not getting this batch out on a certain timeline. We are sorry and we hope you understand and support our decision.
We are confident we will have a great batch of 120 Minute IPA out before the end of the year.
Cheers - sam

Ooh, if only a dry version of 120 existed ...
flooring manufacturer is so elegance and perfect that I cant help purchasing one. They are good quality with competitive price and the symbol of elegance.

Fragtagonal - so far as I know this post was about the 2010 batch. I believe they've bottled and started shipping the 2011. Look for it this week! Check out the more recent post for more....
Its sad to hear that the beer I've been trying to find, won't be released this year. I really wanna try this beer! But, keep making that sick Palo Santo Marron, and you've got me as a stout supporter for the rest of your company's days!
It is cool that Greed is not the Objective but Beer Perfection
How do I get some of the next batch

Hey guys, how about an update as to when a new batch of 120 will be on the shelves. Me and the buds will be down in a few weeks to tour.
I'm very sorry to hear this news, but your decision shows great integrity and pride in your products. Lately I've heard how vineyards mix their less than tasty wine with chocolate or fruit and put it in a designer container, and people fall for that. I'm glad that Dogfish Head would not resort to such tactics. Thank you! Can't wait to bring my friends to a tour in September!!!
You are the Man! Thanks
I agree with the guy who said to freeze it, like an Eisbock
Eis-120?
