Must be the prices charged local to DFH, cuz their prices are absurd
out here in The West. $12 for a single 12oz bottle of 120 IPA! Also,
it appears Easterners are easily impressed by DFH. That, or it's the
only game on the East Coast. Their IPA 60 and 90 are nothing to write
home about, but I've seen 'em rated as the best IPA available. Hardly.

I heard astonishing stories about DFH when I live in CA, where it was
then unavailable. Now that I live in CO and can get it anywhere, I
don't bother to buy it. I can select from several local beers that
are much cheaper and as good if not better. I have nothing personal
against DFH, but I suspect it's like Anchor on the East Coast, mostly
hype.
