Welcome Back!


Our resident blogger is out for a while, so your substitute blogging team is going to work to keep you as updated as possible. Today, we wander back to the Craft Beer Corner, to see what's fresh over there. As always, we recommend calling our store before making a special trip.

Dogfish Head Red & White is back after an extended absence, for a limited time. Red & White is a big, Belgian-style witbier brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with pinot noir juice. After fermentation, a fraction of the batch is aged in one of our 10,000-gallon oak tanks. Red & White successfully marries the refreshing citrusy qualities of a Belgian-style white beer with the robust complexity of a red wine. Also back for a brief visit is Dogfish Head Flesh & Blood IPA.

Terrapin So Fresh & So Green, Green. We brew So Fresh & So Green, Green to celebrate the glorious hop! Hops are essentially the spice of beer, adding zest and complexity, bringing the beer to life. We want to show beer lovers the impressive range of flavors and aromas that hops can impart to a beer, which is one reason we do this one as a single-hop brew and change it up every year. We also want to celebrate the agricultural side of the beer industry; drinkers may love a brewery’s beers, but they may not consider the origins of the ingredients in their liquid of choice: our farms. The hard work our hop
farmers do all season long shows in the hops that come out when they harvest; using fresh hops showcases their great work. So Fresh & So Green, Green is a farm-to-glass beer that celebrates everything about the hop from its farm fresh origins to its amazing flavor profiles to its greatest fans out there sharing this beer with friends. Available in 19oz cans!

GABF. We'll take a mid-beer break to congratulate the winners at the recent Great American Beer Festival. You can find these winners on our shelves in both stores, unless otherwise noted:

Format change! We've been carrying Founders PC Pils in cans, in their 15-pack. Those are being phased out, and we will begin carrying PC Pils in 6-pack bottles.
