Returning Fan Favorites:

Making highly anticipated comebacks, these fan-favorite brews, with their hoppy, piney taste profiles, are the perfect seasonal sippers.

• Pennsylvania Tuxedo (8.5% ABV): A surprisingly sessionable concoction, Pennsylvania Tuxedo is brewed with fresh spruce tips for a grassy citrus kick complemented by resinous conifer notes. The beer’s dry and doughy malt backbone balances its hoppy bitterness to create a delicious, easy-drinking ale. Available on draft and in 6pk/12oz cans in select Mid-Atlantic states.
• Covered In Nuggs (6.7% ABV): Classically dank, piney and citrusy, Covered In Nuggs is brewed from a sturdy base of American barley malt and piled high with Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial hops for an IPA bursting with lupulin goodness. Part of Dogfish Head’s Season-ALE series, an annual collection of four beers with artwork by a collaborating artist, this year’s iteration of Covered In Nuggs features art by Drew Millward, an illustrator known for his bold colors and attention to detail. Available from coast to coast on draft, in 6pk/12oz cans, and in the brewery’s new Winter Variety Pack.
