[Taverner]

That's about all I gotta say about that.....

1. Look! I found a recent pic of you!

[Taverner]

4. A dogfish!

BTW...can you eat a dogfish?

[alarimer]

7. Yes, for many years dogfish was the "fish" in fish and chips

After the cod ran out. I am not sure if it still is or not, though.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Seriously?

Ick....

[Redneck Socialist]

2. Have you tried the Chicory Stout yet?

One of my favorites.

[Taverner]

5. Not yet - Dogfish Heads are hard to find out on the West Coast

We have a plethora of top tier beers here, but DH is a treat for when I'm on the Atlantic coast. I always manage to bring back some when I'm there on business...

3. The story of the name

http://www.dogfish.com/news/Whats_In_A_Name..._Dogfish_Head/290/index.htm

Dogfish Head is a place. Think Hilton Head... just like the famous jut of land off the Carolina coast, Dogfish Head is a (soon-to-be?) famous jut of land off the Maine coast. It's on Southport Island, near Boothbay Harbor. There's a small beach and right around the bend a great-looking lighthouse (check out the photo on the right).

Local legend has it that Dogfish Head, Maine is named Dogfish Head because when the lobstermen put out their traps near this particular point, they usually ended up with more dogfish (a small shark) than lobsters. Makes sense, right?

So why Dogfish in Delaware? Dogfish founder and die-hard New Englander Sam Calagione spent summers up at Dogfish Head. When his die-hard Delaware wife wooed him to The First State to open a brewpub in 1995, he wanted to bring a piece of New England with him - so he named his place Dogfish Head.

There you have it - the offical story... notice we say "story."

6. And I thought it was because of the pub's specialty, Deep Fried Dogfish Head

8. you must mean Dogfish Head on a Stick

with the corn batter, right?

10. Is 'fuck' good or bad

We need to make you an honorary citizen of Delaware!

[Taverner]

11. It's a good fuuuuuuuck

And at 18-20%, it was kind of hard to put my thoughts into words.

Awesome! Do I get a drivers license?

[LynneSin]

12. No but we show you how to get around all the tolls in Delaware

we just put those tollbooths there for the dumbasses from other states - they can pay to rebuild our highways

[Taverner]

15. Gotchya - I like how California pays for its roads better

Gas that sells for near $4 a gallon.

[LynneSin]

17. But that would affect the people living in the state

we're not here to punish our own

[seemunkee]

13. No, but you get a tollbooth debit card.

Its worth a lot more than a license

[blindpig]

14. Possibly the best beer in the world

I believe they've ratcheted down the alcohol content, first time I tried it, it was 23%! Treat it like brandy.

[Taverner]

16. It is kinda like brandy

You just can't "drink" that stuff in any definition of the word. You can only sip it. But it's beautiful.

I picked up some Avery Mephistopheles Stout, which runs at 16% - so we'll see how it stacks up to DHWWS. I'm sure each will be fucking brilliant in their own way.

Ever have Great Divide's Oaked Aged Yeti Imperial Stout? Only 10%, but it's amazing.
