Post-Workout Brew

Drinking a Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA in the shower after a hard workout at the gym. Is there anything better?

Of the two of us, Nick's definitely the hop-head. I like hoppy beers more than 99% of the general beer drinking population, but Nick is one of a handful of people who's got me beat.

That said, in my humble opinion, there may not be a better widely available beer for the price than the Dogfish 90 Minute. Make no mistake--this IPA does not hold a handle to the 120 Minute, (nor, in fairness, is it a true IPA in the vein of a Drake's--maybe an IPA history rant is in order for a later post,) but for the entirely affordable price of a four-pack, this beer kicks ass.

Well-rounded, hoppy enough to satisfy most hopheads, (they add hops for 90 minutes and dry-hop the crap out of the thing,) but also well balanced by some fascinating malt notes you won't find anywhere else. Besides their 120, of course, which may be my single favorite American brew.

Anyway, ladies, go pick one up. And feel free to join me in the shower with the four-pack.
