Dogfish x Smithsonian National Museum of American History

From Dogfish Head & our pal Sam Calagione:

Hey there — So far, 2019 has been filled with a boatload of awesome Dogfish Head milestones. Now, we’ve got another exciting piece of information to announce, and I want to be the one to personally reach out and share the news.

Dogfish Head’s innovative spirit and our invention of the process of continual hopping – the brewing method used to make our iconic 60 Minute IPA, 90 Minute IPA and 120 Minute IPA – is being recognized by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. In fact, our original boil kettle and continual hopping device – an old school vibrating football game I picked up at a local thrift store and tweaked for our purpose – has been acquired and accepted into the permanent collection of homebrewing and craft beer history that is being built by the museum’s American Brewing History Initiative.

My Dogfish Head co-workers and I could not be more proud of this amazing recognition that will stand the test of time (well beyond 60, 90 or even 120 minutes;-). We are truly honored that the folks at the Smithsonian are allowing us to help preserve the history and heritage of the vibrant, indigenous craft brewing community. Please feel free to spread the goodness and share the article published on the Smithsonian’s website. Let me know if you want more info. Check it out here:
