Dogfish Raison D’Extra Returns

Dogfish Raison D'Extra

It’s been seven years since Dogfish Head last brewed Raison D’ Extra. The strong ale is based on the brewery’s Raison D’Etre, a Belgian-style brown ale with brown sugar, and raisins.

Dogfish Head Raison D’Extra takes things a bit further, to nearly double the ABV.

D’Extra takes this concept to the next level. What 120 Minute IPA is to 60 Minute IPA, D’Extra is the D’Etre. We’re pushing the limits of what a Belgian yeast can do (and we’ve discovered that’s somewhere in the ballpark of 15% to 18% ABV!)

Dogfish Head Raison D’Extra will be available again in 12oz bottles. Due to ABV, there will be state limitations.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark (w/ Raisins, Brown Sugar)
Availability: 12oz Bottles.
Return: December, 2014

18% ABV

Now Shipping: Sierra Nevada Rain Check

Sierra Nevada has all but wrapped up the build of their east coast location in Mills River, North Carolina. Like any project, especially construction, there were delays. One of the biggest issues – rain. A lots of it. When you are a brewery, adversity pretty much means there is a beer to commemorate your hardships, and that’s where Rain Check Spiced Stout was born. Rain Check is first and foremost an imperial stout, brewed with ginger, brown sugar, molasses, and lime.

Rain Check Spiced Stout is our answer to the merciless wet weather that plagued and slowed the construction of our new brewery in Mills River, NC. This dark, rich, and roast beer helps us forget the delays- a Rain Check we’ll take anytime. 

Sierra Nevada Rain Check Spiced Stout will be packaged in 12oz bottles.

Style: Imperial Stout (Ginger, Brown Sugar, Molasses, Lime)
