In West Virginia -

Ordering a delicious West Virginia hotdog at a Mountaineers or Marshall pigskin game? Be sure to reach for a 90 Minute IPA, a fan-favorite, Dogfish Head continually hopped Imperial India Pale Ale. 90 Minute IPA has a lot going on, just like this game-day treat. This fuller-bodied beer is a great complement to a hot dog topped with chili and coleslaw as the aggressive hops round out the huge collection of flavors.

Try pairing an Indian Brown, the prototypical dark IPA, with venison tenderloin, a succulent West Virginia staple. The roasty malt and well-balanced hops of Indian Brown provide a nice complement to the strong flavors in the meat.

Namaste White, a Belgian-style white ale, is a cozy complement to yummy buttery biscuits as the spicy clove and peppercorn phenolics and light, citrusy witbier flavors are a natural match for the breakfast bun. For added fun, try mixing it with orange juice for a Namaste beermosa!

In Kansas -

The next time you order finger-lickin’ Kansas BBQ be sure to reach for a 90 Minute IPA, a fan-favorite, Dogfish Head continually hopped Imperial India Pale Ale. 90 Minute IPA is a classic pairing for all types of barbecue as the prominent West Coast hops are a great match for sauces ranging from sweet to spicy.

Try pairing an Indian Brown, the prototypical dark IPA, with bierocks, a yummy Kansas staple. The roasty malt backbone of Indian Brown complements the beef and cabbage filling traditionally found in bierocks, while the assertive hops provide a crisp finish. Delicious!

Namaste White, a Belgian-style white ale, is a cozy match for grebble, a tasty sweet treat. The slight spiciness from the peppercorns and the subtle tartness of the lemongrass introduce a nice counterbalance to the sweetness of these donut-like pastries. For added fun, try mixing it with orange juice for a Namaste beermosa!
