Hello Dogfish world!!!
I live in Kansas City, MO. We do not have Dogfish anywhere around here. I have never seen, smelled, tasted or puked up a Dogfish beer in my life. I have, however, seen the show several times over. I tend to watch episodes over and over. Perhaps it is my way of making up for my lack of beer. I have finally decided that my Dogfishless life style must change. I do not have the cash flow at current to make a full pilgramage to the land of Dogfish, but I do have enough to go to the beer. The town of Terre Haute Indiana is the closest location to my home that sells Dogfish. It is about a 7 hour drive. I intend to drive the 7 hours, buy a bunch of Dogfish, rent a hotel room, drink the Dogfish and drive home with my hangover as the only thing to show for my trip. I need help with the beer. I want to make sure and try the most popular and most important and memorable beers in the Dogfish line up. I need any and all suggestions to help in my quest. Also, if anyone happens to live in or near Terre Haut and would like to partake in this spectacle, let me know and I'm sure it can be arranged. I intend to document the entire trip as it will prove to make an interesting video. I just hope my wife doesn't prove to be right when she said "why on earth would you want to drive 14 hours round trip for something you have never tried in your life? You are an idiot!"

Well that is if you like IPA but it is a sweet IPA not bitter. If you like stouts I might have to say the World Wide Stout is my favorite. Dogfish head beers are just wonderful.
Tough question. I guess it really depends on what you like. Out of the roughly 27 or so Year Round, Occassional Rarities, and Seasonal, I have tried 18 of them. I have 4 that I haven't even tried yet.
In all honesty; I haven't tasted one that I didn't like.
With that said; here is a list of my favorites in no particular order
Year Round-Raison D'Etre, 90 minute IPA, and Midas Touch
Occassional-Red & White, Burton Baton, Theoroma...World Wide Stout is awesome but packs a powerful punch. Bitches Brew is really good but chances are you won't find it.
Seasonal-I just had the pleasure of trying the 2011 Aprihop and it was delicious. I can find DFH pretty easy. If it is a year round, I just buy a 4 or 6 pack at a time. For the occassional rarities, I usually buy 2 of each (one to enjoy now or in the near future and one to enjoy later), Seasonal a couple of 4 or six packs again assuming they are gone pretty quick; I can at least have a little stock on hand.
Not only can you get in Illinois but go with Palo Santo Marron or Indian Brown Ale. So yummy in my tummy.
Skylar - you are hard core! How'd the trip go??
You can get it in Illinois
