Dogfish Head Alehouse logo

Greetings our beer-loving Earthlings. Summer is almost here, and we have lots of exciting happenings coming down the pipeline.

First and foremost, we at the Alehouse love the community we serve. We hear your feedback everyday and try our best to input those suggestions, so we can give you the best possible experience.

One, common refrain we hear is:
“Gee, I wish I had known such and such event was happening.”

So, here we are. You may be thinking, in the era of Instagram and Twitter, why start a newsletter? Because, while social media is great, it’s easy for an interesting tangent to get buried and forgotten under an avalanche of posts.

This newsletter will be your condensed source for all things Alehouse. Can’t remember the date of an upcoming event? Just look in your inbox and you’ll be caught up in no time.

We can’t wait to see you soon and remember: explore goodness.

New on Draft:

Mixed Media

MIXED MEDIA
7.5% ABV $6.25/16oz

The closest an ale can legally be to wine! With 51% of the fermentable sugars coming from grain and 49% coming from grapes, Mixed Media is a complex saison-esque ale brewed with a distinct Belgian yeast strain. Using a late-harvest Viognier grape must from our friends at Alexandria Nicole Cellars in Washington, you'll find notes of white grape and melon in the aroma, and greeted with a spicy white wine body in every sip.

Festina Peche

Festina Peche
4.5 ABV $6.25/16oz
A refreshing, neo-Berliner Weisse that is usually released in time for the hot summer months. Festina Peche is infused with peaches yet retains the mouth-puckering sourness of the traditional German-style.

Burger of the Week:

I Can't Believe Dave Did That Burger

I Can’t Believe Dave Did That Burger
A handmade half pound patty topped with pesto ranch and applewood smoked bacon. All that served between 2 patties of breaded provolone cheese deep fried as your bun. Served with beach fries.

Best paired with Midas Touch

Fish Fry-day
