Dogfish Head just updating their release schedule as we go deeper into 2012…
Howdy Folks… we’ve had a busy beer release year so far (and it is barely even 2 months old)! In addition to our seven year round releases and Namaste we added Tweason’ale and Noble Rot so far this year. We also put out the test batch for Positive Contact, the next beer in our Music Series which will roll into distribution later this year!
Since we have so much coming at ya, we thought we’d give a little update here!
Please note: the below dates are estimates as to when our beers will be appearing on retail shelves & taps based on when we begin shipping to our wholesalers across the country. Due to scheduling and distance, some releases take a few days to hit shelves and some take a few weeks. As our beers begin hitting retail shelves and taps in the markets where we currently sell, they should begin appearing on the Fish Finder. The Fish Finder is a database that shows where our beers have been delivered in the past 60 days. As a reminder, it is always best to call ahead before travelling to any retailer. Cheers!
Current/pending releases:
120 Minute IPA: Should have begun hitting retail last week (2/13/12)
My Antonia: Should begin hitting retail this week (2/20/12)
Red & White: Should begin hitting retail next week (2/27/12)

Man Finally Gets His Taste Of Elusive Dogfish Bottle: Festina Lente
Sam Calagione makes fan Mat Pepino happy by giving him a taste of Festina Lente. Mat has had every Dogfish Head beer they have ever bottled with this one exception. The beer was first released in 2003, described as – A neo-lambic ale that goes through both a yeast and bacteria fermentation and is then aged on oak chips and 400 pounds of Delaware peaches. This beer is very tart and complex. It is bottle-conditioned in champagne bottles. Looked like a fun party.
Not everybody knows the Top 2o craft brewers in the United States. To be considered craft, you have to produced less than 6 million barrels of beer a year. Overall in 2011, the beer business declined by 1.5% nationally. (When you factor in the large breweries.) The craft sector saw an increase of 15% growth in volume of barrels shipped. Here’s the Top 20 brewers ranked:
1. Sam Adams
2. Sierra Nevada
3. New Belgium
4. Craft Brew Alliance (includes Red Hook, Kona, Widmer Brothers)
5. Spoetzel (Makers of Shiner)
6. Magic Hat
7. Deschutes Brewing
8. Matt Brewing (Makers of Saranac)
9. Bell’s
10. Harpoon
11. Lagunitas
12. Boulevard
13. Stone
14. Dogfish Head
15. Brooklyn
16. Alaskan
17. Shipyard
18. Abita
19. Long Trail Brewing
20. Great Lakes Brewing

New Dogfish Head Musical Collaboration: Postive Contact
I’m going to just straight up throw out the press release, and develop it further…
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Deltron 3030’s Dan the Automator have teamed up to create Positive Contact, a hybrid of beer and cider based on Dan’s favorite ingredients and Dogfish Head’s innovative brewing practices.
Deltron 3030 is an adventurous hip-hop collaboration between Dan and Del the Funkee Homosapien. Deltron’s self-titled debut album, released in 2000, was an instant classic and is included on many hip-hop best-of lists. It got an 8/10 rating on NME, which called it “a crazed sci-fi journey to Planet B.S. that takes myriad detours around the galaxy. The most purely enjoyable hip-hop album of 2000.”
Over a decade in the making, the new Deltron 3030 album is set to drop this spring, and Positive Contact was brewed to celebrate the release.
Named after a key track on the first album, Positive Contact is a 9% ABV hybrid of beer and cider brewed with wood-pressed Fuji apples, roasted farro, a handful of cayenne peppers and a late dose of fresh cilantro. This sweet-and-sour Belgian-ish brew is a light straw color with fruity, cider-like notes. The cayenne and alcohol give it a warming finish.
The beer will be released in a dynamic box set of six 750-ml champagne bottles, with a 10-inch vinyl EP of four new Deltron 3030 remixes created exclusively for this project, and a list of Deltron 3030-inspired recipes from a small group of renowned chefs (see below). Invite some friends over, rock the album, drink the beer and whip up a multi-course meal. It’s a house party in a box.
Positive Contact box sets will be released in May throughout Dogfish Head’s distribution network, in accordance with local and state laws. Stay tuned.
