Sam: We had a tiny little office in our house where we shared one family computer where Mariah mostly worked. The site is called Beer Advocate. I want to talk to these guys. Mariah: So we had the buzz among the community of real craft beer obsessives, but it was the Esquire article that really caused the beer to take off.
With the growing demand we moved the beer from its large format bottles into ounce vessels with the more traditional Dogfish label. Mariah: It is still our second best selling beer right now. But you have to remember that even when it came out we were so much smaller in terms of production and it was still one of our best selling beers.
Sam, do you remember the exact barrelage amount when we first started to put it into production in terms of ounce beer rounds versus now? Sam: In terms of scale, we started off probably brewing hundreds of barrels per quarter, barrel batches once a month, to brewing thousands of barrels per quarter within a year or two. That moment in time, to , was the time when Mariah and I could start regularly cashing our paychecks.
But we never dumbed down our beer or discounted our beer; we stayed true to our model. Our company has grown double digits every year since then. Mariah: The 90 Minute, now with so many choices on the market, is still the beer we consistently get so much love for through social channels.

The only problem … where to begin? First things first — what makes 60 Minute different from every other IPA? The answer was simple. Continual hopping. You see, traditionally brewers make two hop additions — one big dose early in the boil for flavor, and another bunch at the end for aroma.
