Dogfish Head has announced its annual fall list of seasonal drinks, beginning with the return of Punkin Ale, back for the 30th consecutive year
Punkin Ale (7% ABV) is a full-bodied brown ale brewed with real pumpkin, brown sugar, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. With flavors of cinnamon spice and pumpkin, this fall favorite is now available from coast to coast, both on draft and in 6 pack/12-oz. cans.
“It’s hard to believe that I first brewed Punkin Ale more than 30 years ago, when it claimed first prize in the recipe contest at southern Delaware’s yearly Punkin Chunkin Extravaganza,” says Sam Calagione, Dogfish head founder and brewer. “As our longest commercially distributed brew, it’s always heartwarming to see folks’ excitement for Punkin Ale’s annual return.”
The pumpkin-spiced theme continues with Dogfish Head’s limited-edition Punkin Liqueur (30% ABV). Available in 375-ml. bottles, exclusively at Dogfish Head coastal Delaware locations, Punkin Liqueur starts its journey as Punkin Ale, which is then distilled and aged in used rum barrels to impart notes of oak and molasses. The spirit is finished with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, vanilla, brown sugar and a touch of sage, for a seasonal liqueur for sipping on its own or in a fall cocktail.
Dogfish Head has also introduced a new variation of its World Wide Stout, a dark, rich and roasty imperial stout. This year’s iteration, Affogato World Wide Stout (15% ABV), adds notes of espresso and sweet vanilla for a liquid version of the namesake Italian treat. It’s available in select markets, where legal, in 4 pack/12-oz. bottles.
Additionally, Dogfish Head’s has announced a 12 pack/12-oz. can Fall Variety Pack, with a new variety pack-exclusive brew: Tasty Traveler Jasmine Rice Lager (5% ABV).
Tasty Traveler Jasmine Rice Lager is brewed with jasmine rice, lemongrass, wildflower honey and makrut lime leaf. In addition to Tasty Traveler Jasmine Rice Lager, Dogfish Head’s Fall Variety Pack, which is now available nationwide, features three 12-oz. cans of each of the following beers:
- 60 Minute IPA* (6% ABV)
- SeaQuench Ale* (4.9% ABV)
- Blue Hen Pilsner* (4.8% ABV)
