Since the day its doors opened nearly 25 years ago, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has prided itself on creating innovative, well-differentiated beers and spirits.

In 2020, it is doubling down on its off-beat approach to liquid artistry with plans to release more than 160 unique products. From the brewery’s lineup of regional and national beers and scratch-made distilled spirits to the ever-expanding list of exclusive libations available only at its coastal Delaware properties, Dogfish drinkers both near and far can eagerly anticipate the New Year to be chock full of off-centered goodness.

“The announcement of our yearly lineup of releases is always one of my favorite moments of the year, especially since it includes so many creative and still-to-be invented offerings,” said Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head. “While our calendar of nationally-distributed brands is ready to roll, many of our regional and local releases remain in ideation. This allows our talented brewers and distillers, and me, the flexibility to quickly consider whims, hunches, artistic trends and the following of our collective muse to inform our creative journey.”

Curious, off-centered people can visitwww.dogfish.com for information about all Dogfish Head’s upcoming releases. Locally, folks can expect a variety of limited-edition, 750ml bottles from the brewery’sR&DFH Series for purchase at its production facility in Milton, Delaware, as well as an abundance of draft-only beers for enjoyment at the brewery’s MiltonTasting Room & Kitchen and Rehoboth Beach Brewpub. Additionally, throughout the Mid-Atlantic, the brewery will distribute a selection of small-batch, 375ml bottles from its ‘Wooden … it be nice!’ wild beer program. Last, but far from least, beer lovers from coast to coast will see the following products on both taps and shelves.
