Dogfish Head is sold nationwide through wholesalers and 60 Minute IPA is its best selling beer. In Pennsylvania look for cases and kegs at beer distributors, six-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and draft at bars. In Maryland most beer is sold at liquor stores, since few grocery stores there hold a beer license. In West Virginia it is in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. Dogfish Head is a short drive from Delaware, so Maryland shelves often carry more of its beers. Small Batch and Caution Cap beers go to fewer states.
