Imagine pouring 11,000 pints of beer. Dogfish Head did that. At the recent Firefly Festival at Dover International Speedway in Delaware, Dogfish Head was there to party. (and pour). The brewery created a special English-style pale ale named for the inaugural festival – Firefly Ale.
Firefly is an English-style Pale Ale brewed with Marris Otter barley and English heritage hops (because the Sex Pistols invented punk rock). To add a fruity and citrusy aroma, there’s a late addition of American Calypso hops (because the Ramones invented punk rock).
Firefly, along with other beers that DFH was selling did well. By 10:30 pm on the first day – the brewery at the fest ran out of beer. A whopping 11,000 pints were sold according to DelMarVa Now. Impressive. Firefly is a one-off brewed just for the 3 day festival.
Dogfish Head Brewery has just brewed a second iteration of Delaware Native Ale aka DNA. The beer uses all ingredients native to the First State, including a yeast that was isolated from a local peach orchard.
Last year’s batch wasn’t able to claim 100% Delaware origin. The barley used was from out of state. This year, Sam and crew were able to locally source the barley for DNA 2012. The beer is a mead with 720 lbs of wildflower honey, and over 300 lbs of Delaware blueberries. As an added bonus, the mead will be used as a wash to create a Delaware Native Distilled Spirit. Perhaps the first spirit created completely in Delaware?

Dogfish Head (Milton, DE) has announced that Indian Brown Ale will ship year round in California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
Clocking in at 7.2% ABV, this prototypical dark IPA blends the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, the color of an American Brown and the hopping regimen of an IPA. Like 60 Minute and 90 Minute — its brothers from another mother — Indian Brown is dry-hopped for a burst of floral aromas.
Style: Brown Ale
