Dogfish Head 60 Minutes

FYI...there are only about 60 cases left TOTAL province wide. They are fairly spread out with a big quantity (about 18 cases) at the Royal York store. Get it while you can. Other than a few bottles here and there it should mostly be gone by next week or so.

That's insane. Even the J Gingembre did not fly off the shelves with such vigour, despite the Gingembre being such a screaming good deal.

Peter please what are the e-mails to comment on the 60 Minute IPA and the J Gingembre?

Just curious how the godawful J Gingembre is a "good deal", are they free now?

J Gingembre is in a cool bottle/can, how could this not sell?

The fact that it tastes like flat ginger ale? Oh but the bottle's cool so that's good enough.

I think your giving it too much credit saying that it even resembles ginger ale, I could hardly detect any ginger in this.

I was being sarcastic about the bottle/can

Are you basing this on the LCBO website inventory, or do you have some inside info? Might there not be some stock in the warehouse that isn't listed on the website?

Ah, my sarcasm-o-meter was on the fritz, sorry about that.

Simple math. If you take the total case order and deduct the number of cases that have already been sold (estimate) and then count the remaining cases listed in the system (LCBO website yesterday) the figures add up. There might be cases left in the warehouse, as I'm estimating sales thus far, but I wouldn't expect there to be more that 40 or so? All this flies out the window if there was more initial stock than I was told there was when it was all still sitting in the main distribution warehouse. At that time I was given a total case number of just over 400 by the LCBO (Bill at Queen's Quay).

I'll run over to the Whitby warehouse and look through the window and let you know if I see any.

The order was in fact 400 cases. I'll have a better idea next week of the inventory situation but I'm sure there is stock in the Ottawa warehouse which has yet to be distributed and there may be some in Whitby. My local store ordered 30 cases for me on Wednesday and I'm anxiously waiting to see if I get it.

Not a lot here in London, but I managed to get a whole case, and have another on the way. Working there does have some benefits. Ones like telling people "there's none left" when theres a case in the back.

Kind of embarassing that the alleged stock in my"smalltown hometown" Kinston is WAY more than anywhere else - even Collingwood has been selling a fair few, who knew they had taste.

Maybe I'll grab another case visiting there on Mother's day, since I'm such a great son I really deserve it.

Thanks for everyone's updates on the Dogfish Panic Situation.

When I first saw this beer I read the label and it said that it was bottle conditioned, I looked at the contents and thought "really, looks very clear to be b/c" but didn't think about it much further because it tasted great, I just found a thread on The Beer Advocate discussing that it is not b/c anymore, and possibly hasn't been for up to a year, but they have lots of labels to still use.

Just thought I would mention that because I thought it was very Intresting, kinda strange that they would be producing it differently for a year and still have labels too use.

You made me run down to my basement to check a older bottle. There is only the slightest deposit in a bottle of 60 Minute from Sept 2005 and in a bottle of 90 Minute from Oct 2004. I also have a 120 Minute from 2004 that has a bit more deposit, but not much.
