Boh is a Maryland beer. Semantics. Just like Old Style is a Chicago beer even though Pabst bought them up too and moved it to who knows where.
They make Sam Adams in Cincinnati. I'm sure they aren't calling it "theirs" in Ohio.

I think Sean makes a fair point, but I think he takes it to the extreme.
Just that we're having this conversation again on here is indicative of the relevance of where Boh is made.
If it was still made here, it would be even bigger of a deal locally.
No doubt.
But all you have to do is notice the Boh logo everywhere you go. T-shirts, car stickers, etc...
It may have gotten to the point where the brand has surpassed the actual beer, and that brand -- Mr. Boh -- is pure Baltimore.
And I would say that the retro beer stuff was a fad and won't last much longer, but Boh has been "back" for 10 years.
Kinda surprised they haven't opened up a brewing facility in MD...it would at least save them a lot on shipping costs.

They can dump Dogfish Head while they are at it. Get an actual Local brewing company in there like Union.

I am in agreement there.
Heavy Seas, Flying Dog, Union should be the big 3 locals they sell.

No need to dump a really good craft brewery that is somewhat local. Just add more breweries.

Yeah, the logo is a bigger deal locally than the actual beer.

I wish they still offered it, but I won't be joining any letter-writing campaigns to bring it back.

Disagree about DFH being a really good craft brewery, and I don't consider Delaware local.

What is your issue with Dogfish? Too many hop bombs?

I mean hops sell, I get that. It's been a while since I've had one but I did always enjoy the 90min IPA. I do feel like too much of their portfolio is focused on them though. As big and successful as they are they should have a more rounded selection.
Found this quote on their website which is another part of the reason I'm not a fan.
Whether it's off ingredients or crazy, made-up styles, you can be sure that a beer from Dogfish will challenged your perceptioons of what beer is supposed to be.
I'm all for trying new beers and new styles, but I feel like they are just coming up with some of this shit simply for the sake of being weird or different. There was an article written several years ago after Palo Santo Marron came out. Just talking about the elaborate process they had to go through to find these trees and get the wood and it was a bit much for me.

They do have a good amount of non-IPA's, but their IPA's are their most iconic beers. They have very good stouts for instance.
Yeah, they do make some weird stuff and that is hit or miss, but some of it is very good, including some non hoppy stuff.
If you ever get a chance to go one of their brew-pubs, you'll generally find a significant non IPA selection.

I'm running a marathon in Rehoboth on Sunday. I'll try and go there for dinner after the race with the fam.

Good luck with the marathon!
It does look like they have more IPA's than usual now, but they still have some other stuff: http://www.dogfish.c...n-tap/index.htm

Race went well! Attempted to go to the brewpub for dinner, we got there at about 5ish and they told us it was going to be a 30 minute wait. That wasn't going to fly with three kids with us so we went somewhere else.

It does get busy during weekends and the summer, and I guess the race brought more people down there.
Ah well. Glad the race went well.
Where did you go? I know that area pretty well.
