Milton, Del. June 29, 2017 –It’s officially summer and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is celebrating the sunny season of exploration with the launch of their newly canned ales - 60 Minute IPA, SeaQuench Ale and Flesh & Blood IPA - and the rollout of the off-centered ale inspired Coastal Delaware Ale Trail, a collection of off-the-beaten-path sites right here in our back yard. The Trail is made up of nine compelling destinations in Southern Delaware where adventurous pathfinders can explore sites, scenes and statues in the First State. Not all those who wander are lost; sometimes they're just searching for a great beer and good times! Craft beer fans can quench their thirst for off-centered inspired exploration in and around Lewes, Rehoboth Beach and Milton, and can get the Dogfish Head 360 degree experience with stops at Chesapeake & Maine, a geographically-enamored seafood restaurant, The Dogfish Inn, a beer-themed hotel on the harbor, Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, a pub serving up original beer, original, food, and original music since 1995, and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, the production brewery.
