I just say this on the AHA website:
We received more than 1,100 votes for 618 different beers from 293 different brewers across the United States and beyond. And this year, we have a new winner. Unlike last years results, in which New Belgiums Fat Tire and Sierra Nevadas Bigfoot Barleywine tied for top beer, this year there was a clear-cut favorite.
Your favorite beer in America for 2007 is drumroll, please Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA.
Very cool! responded Dogfish Head founder and CEO Sam Calagione when told about the survey results. Weve been brewing 90 Minute for going on eight years now. Im proud to say it is catching up with 60 Minute [Dogfishs flagship beer] in sales. Who would have thought eight years ago that a brewery in coastal Delaware could sell thousands of cases of 90 IBU, 9-percent abv beer a week?
Dogfish Head 90 Minute has been making its way up in the readers poll for the last five years, finishing in a tie for 18th in 2003, a tie for third in 2004, and a tie for fourth in 2005.
We dont do any advertising for 90 Minute, so I know the appreciation for it came to light through hardcore beer folk turning their friends on to it one pint or bottle at a time, said Calagione.
