Dogfish Head Brewing’s 2020 Craft Beer Lineup

In the coming year, Dogfish Head will be doubling down on its off-beat approach to brewing 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 its ever-expanding list of exclusives available only at its coastal Delaware properties, Dogfish Head will be uber-aggressive in 2020.

“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.”

And here’s just some of what Dogfish Head has planned for 2020.
