I don't read up on beer all that much, but Dogfish Head 60 *is* often thrown out there as "my favorite" or "the best" IPA out there. I'm sure most people who are saying that mean American IPA, and might not know that there are other IPAs out there, but I think it's a fair enough statement.
I raced SSCX today and am wiped out. After dinner, my wife said "want another beer?" "Sure." She cracked open a Sam Adams "Black and Brew." I'll be damned if the caffeine isn't keeping me up! (Said Standalone at 3am)
