"I love seeing all the success of the canned beers that are out there from the smaller guys in our neck of the woods like Sly Fox, to national brands like Sierra Nevada and New Belgium, but for us it’s just not an arena we’re choosing to play in. You know, never say never, but our focus since the day we opened has been “let’s bring beer into the context of wine.” Meaning beer can be as flavorful as wine, as complex and as food-compatible as wine. And if that’s really at the heart of our mission, we think it’d be really confusing to put a lot of our wine-like beers in cans."
There you have it. Cans aren't on the horizon for Dogfish, but we are happy to work with breweries who embrace aluminum. Keep an eye out for Liquid Breadfruit, our canned collaboration with Maui Brewing, this fall.
Other updates from DFH:
Black & Blue: This berry-packed golden ale is a cult classic. A subtle bouquet of blackberries and blueberries balances the big, malty body of Black & Blue. The super-cool label art from Pennsylvania portrait painter David Larned is a bonus! 10% ABV
My Antonia: From our stable of Living Beers comes this lager for ale lovers. My Antonia is a continually-hopped imperial pilsner that is citrusy, sweet and refined. 7.5% ABV
