Dogfish Head Brewery Announces Bold New Beers For 2023

2022 is waning, and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is all about next year’s big beer releases which once again push the brewing envelope in oft-centered ways…

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

And here’s just some of what The Milton, Delaware-based brewing powerhouse has planned…

Off-Centered Art Series Ales

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 artist.

Next year’s Off-Centered Art Series beers will boast designs by New York City-based artist, Natalya Balnova.

Best known for magical and mystical illustrations, Natalya works as an illustrator, designer and printmaker, and often self-publishes her own silkscreened books, posters and apparel. Check out her whimsical graphics wrapping the following beers, which drop throughout 2023.

• Nordic Spring (6.5% ABV): A super citrusy hazy IPA brewed with Norwegian Kveik yeast, wild juniper berries and orange peel. Hitting shelves nationwide NOW!
• Mandarin & Mango Crush (6.0% ABV): A summer-centric beer brewed with pureed mandarin orange and mango for light and crush-able flavors of bright orange, tangerine and mango.
• Punkin Ale (7.0% ABV): A fall-favorite, full-bodied brown ale brewed with real pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices.
• Crimson Cru (7.1% ABV): A full-bodied sweet and sour red ale with notes of red fruit, citrus, caramel and toffee brewed in collaboration with Belgium’s Rodenbach Brewery.

Every Day, Year-Round Beers:

Dogfish Head’s list of year-round beers includes not only its continually hopped classic, but also a handful of sessionable sippers.

• Citrus Squall (8.0% ABV): The perfect storm of a double golden ale and a paloma cocktail brewed with blue agave nectar, lime peels and grapefruit juice.
• 60 Minute IPA (6.0% ABV): A continually hopped, east coast IPA brewed with a slew of intense Northwest hops to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter.
• 90 Minute Imperial IPA (9.0% ABV): One of the first continually hopped beers whose powerful malt backbone supports its extreme hopping rate for rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas, and a pungent, not crushing, hop flavor.
• SeaQuench Ale (4.9% ABV): A session sour mash-up of a crisp Kölsch, a salty Gose and a tart Beliner Weiss brewed in sequence with black limes, sour lime juice and sea salt.
• Slightly Mighty (4.0% ABV): A lo-cal IPA that is slight in calories and carbs with mighty hop character and has just 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat per 12oz can.
• Blue Hen Pilsner (4.8% ABV): Crisp and refreshing pilsner is brewed with only four ingredients: water, yeast, earthy Saaz hops, and Delaware-grown and malted barley. *Available in select East Coast markets only *

 

Occasional & Limited-Release Beers

Made up of beers clocking in at 15.0% ABV or higher, Dogfish Head’s Caution Cap series is marked by distinct neon yellow and black bottle caps, each adorned with a “caution shark” exclamation mark. This eye-catching indication denotes a beer that is a perfect candidate for laying down to age.

• Utopias Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA (15-20% ABV): An unfiltered and abundantly hoppy Imperial IPA that is continuously hopped with a copious amount of high-alpha American hops throughout the boil and whirlpool, and then dry-hopped with a boatload of hops. For additional complexity and flavor, this version of Dogfish Head’s cult-classic 120 Minute IPA was aged in freshly emptied Samuel Adams Utopias barrels.
• World Wide Stout (15-20% ABV): A highly sought-after imperial stout brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley for a boisterous beer that is dark, rich and roasty.

Beer fans along the East Coast will also see a selection of limited-edition 4pk/16oz can releases, including a new collaboration with Record Store Day, a Dogfish Head brewpub exclusive turned regional beer launch and a highly requested off-centered ale returning from the brewery’s archive of “legacy beers.”

• Catchy Chorus (9.0% ABV): A hazy double dry-hopped double IPA brewed in collaboration with Record Store Day that doubles down on four harmonious hop varieties to deliver a taste bud tantalizing sensory song.
• BoDeGose (5.0% ABV): A session sour brewed in collaboration with New York’s TALEA Beer Co. using a medley of ingredients – cherry, pink peppercorn and exotic guava – found among Brooklyn’s many bodegas.
• Pennsylvania Tuxedo (8.5% ABV): A spruce-infused pale ale brewed with real spruce tips for an easy-drinking concoction with a grassy citrus kick and resinous conifer notes.
