Dogfish Head Brewery Announces Bold Beer Lineup For 2022

With 2021 waning, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is all about next year’s big beer releases which will once again push the brewing envelope in oft-centered ways…

“I can’t share all the details just yet,  said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, but here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come out of our brewery next year.”

And here’s just some of what Sam has planned…

Off-Centered Art Series

Celebrating the magic at the intersection of art and ales, Dogfish Head’s annual Off-Centered Art Series is a collection of four beers featuring label artwork by a different graphic artist.

Dogfish Head’s 2022 Off-Centered Art Series includes the brewery’s iconic Punkin Ale, as well as three brand-new beers, Where the Wild Hops Are, Mandarin Orange & Mango Crush and a collaborative Red Ale to end the year.

• Where the Wild Hops Are (6.5% ABV): Rustic and unfiltered, this complex IPA is brewed with four wild-derived hop varieties and blended with a touch of barrel-aged wild ale aged for three years in French Oak barrels. Hazy pale gold in color, it boasts aromas of dank tropical fruit alongside slightly tart, yet juicy fruit flavors.
• Mandarin Orange & Mango Crush (6.0% ABV): Light-bodied and highly-crushable, this summer-centric beer is brewed with pureed mandarin orange and mango. Inspired by the Delaware-area’s long-loved, coastal “Crush” cocktail, it is bursting with bright orange, tangerine and mango flavors.
• Punkin Ale (7.0% ABV): A full-bodied brown ale brewed with real pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices, this fall-flavored sipper exudes aromas of cinnamon, all spice and nutmeg, making it the perfect beer to warm up with as the weather cools.

For next year’s Off-Centered Art Series, Dogfish Head teamed up with Max Mahn, a printmaker and illustrator out of Missoula, Montana, known for his detail-oriented designs. Max has created gig posters for the likes of My Morning Jacket, Ween, Wilco and more.

Return of the Caution Cap Series

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is bringing back a legendary high octane beer series in 2022 so you’ve been warned.. Made up of beers clocking in at 15% ABV or higher, the Caution Cap Series is marked by distinct neon yellow and black caps, each adorned with an appropriate caution exclamation mark.

Also beginning in 2022, Dogfish Head will release, on an annual basis, two of its most sought-after Caution Cap beers, 120 Minute IPA and World Wide Stout, alternating between their original recipes and unique, collectable varietals. Next year, drinkers can expect 120 Minute IPA in its original glory, as well as a new, limited-edition varietal of World Wide Stout.

• 120 Minute IPA (15-20% ABV): “The Holy Grail for Hopheads,” this unfiltered and abundantly hopping Imperial IPA is continuously hopped with a copious amount of high-alpha American hops throughout the boil and whirlpool, and then dry-hopped with another pallet of hops.
• Wake Up! World Wide Stout (15-20% ABV): Dark, rich and roasty, World Wide Stout is brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley for a depth more in line with a port wine than a beer. For additional flavor complexity, this version of Dogfish Head’s iconic Imperial Stout is infused with coffee for an even deeper, roastier character.

Year-Round Beers

• 90 Minute Imperial IPA (9.0% ABV): The first-ever continually hopped beer, its powerful malt backbone supports its extreme hopping rate for rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas, and a pungent, not crushing, hop flavor. NOW available – for the first time – in 19.2oz, single serve cans.
• 60 Minute IPA (6.0% ABV): A continually hopped, east coast IPA, this best-selling beer is brewed with a slew of intense Northwest hops to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter.
• Hazy-O! (7.1% ABV): This Hazy IPA is crafted with four types of oats – malted oats, rolled oats, naked oats and the piece de resistance, oat milk – for a smooth and refreshing, hop-forward beer.
• SeaQuench Ale (4.9% ABV): A session sour mash-up of a crisp Kölsch, a salty Gose and a tart Berliner Weiss brewed in sequence with black limes, sour lime juice and sea salt, its amazingly tart and crisp flavors are enjoyed by beer, wine and margarita drinkers alike.
• Slightly Mighty (4.0% ABV): Slight in calories and carbs with mighty hop character, this full-flavored, lo-cal IPA is the number one-selling lo-cal IPA in America with just 95 calories and 3.6g carbs² per 12oz can.
• Lemon Quest (Less than 0.5% ABV): Born at the crossroads of exploration and goodness, this non-alcoholic wheat brew is made with real lemon puree, blueberry juice, acai berries, monk fruit, sea salt and Hopsteiner Polyphenol-Rich Hop Pellets. Super refreshing and active lifestyle-oriented, it clocks in with just 90 calories³ per 12oz can.
• Blue Hen Pilsner (4.8% ABV): Crisp and refreshing, this super sessionable pilsner is brewed with only four ingredients – water, yeast, earthy Saaz hops, and Delaware-grown and malted barley. Giving a loving nod to the brand’s home state, the beer’s label features the Delaware state bird and a color palette similar to that of the Delaware state flag. *Available in select East Coast markets only.*
