Dogfish Head Announced its 2025 Beverage Calendar
|MILTON, Del. (Dec. 12, 2024) – It’s the most wonderful time for a beer … or cocktail! As the New Year draws nearer, Dogfish Head excitedly announces its 2025 beverage release calendar. Chock full of off-centered goodness, the brewery’s annual release calendar unveils a host of new products and reintroduces fans to some beloved throwbacks, all of which are slated to hit shelves next year.
2025 BEER LINEUP:
Dogfish Head’s 2025 assortment of off-centered ales highlights a myriad of year-round options, seasonal sippers and variety packs. But the brewery didn’t decide on its lineup alone! Dogfish asked drinkers.
“We put the call out to our 1.1M social media followers, asking them which of our archived beers they would like to see make a comeback,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer. “The submissions were plentiful, but a couple of old faves rose to the top. I’m excited to share that we’re bringing back not one, not two, but a whole slew of beers from our brewing archives, either in standalone packs or as the featured brews in our seasonal variety packs.”
Here’s exactly what folks can expect from the beer side of Dogfish Head’s portfolio in 2025.
