Milton, DE ., January 3, 2018 –Dogfish Head is delighted to announce they’ll begin shipping their collection of off-centered beers to the great state of Louisiana in early 2018. Consumers can look for Dogfish on taps and shelves beginning early January in the southern regions of Louisiana, including the metro areas of Lafayette, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Folks in the northern half of Louisiana can expect to find Dogfish Head beers in February. The Delaware craft brewer partnered with Crescent Crown Distributing, Eagle Distributing, Choice Distributing and Venture Distributing to deliver Dogfish Head’s full portfolio of flavorful goodness throughout the state bringing their total market distribution to 38 states and Washington D.C.
Consistently committed to delivering off-centered goodness to their fans, Dogfish Head strategized to establish the ideal groundwork for a successful, forward-looking growth plan for Louisiana and beyond. They tripled the size of the sales team to assist in managing the growing chain business and to further support its current distribution partners from coast-to-coast. Along with their inventive and diverse portfolio of craft beers, Dogfish also redesigned all beer packaging and artwork, introduced cans, announced their 2018 artist collaboration with Marq Spusta for the Off-Centered Art Series, and recently unveiled a band collaboration ale with American indie rock darlings, The Flaming Lips.
“We’re excited to ship our off-centered beers to Dogfish fans in Louisiana and to begin a great and long-lasting relationship with the beer drinkers, retailers, and distributor partners in the state,” says Sam Calagione, founder and CEO of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. “We have our canning and bottling lines pumping out a ton of beer and enough brewing capacity to ensure we can keep retailers well stocked with our off-centered, well-differentiated family of beers for years to come,” says Calagione.
Dogfish fans in Louisiana can expect to enjoy a full line-up of iconic, fan-favorite brews, including 90 Minute IPA, Namaste White, Indian Brown, 60 Minute IPA, SeaQuench Ale, Lupu-Luau IPA, Flesh & Blood IPA, Palo Santo Marron, Burton Baton, Midas Touch, and seasonal releases. Limited quantities of specialty beers and occasional rarities will also be available throughout the year.

Dogfish Head Brews and Louisiana Chews!
For those that enjoy a bite with their Dogfish Head beers, the brewery suggests pairing delicious off-centered pints with classic Louisiana fare.
If you’re tired of coffee and donuts, mix things up with Beignets and Namaste White. The slight spiciness from the peppercorns and the subtle tartness of the lemongrass introduce a nice counterbalance to the sweetness of these classic donuts.
SeaQuench Ale is an excellent choice for seafood pairings and is especially tasty with Shrimp and Grits. The subtle salt, black limes and lime juice in SeaQuench will complement the seasonings used, while the light and tart body counterbalances the richness of the cheese and bacon typically present.
90 Minute IPA is the perfect pairing for Gumbo – a rich and spicy soup. The bold hops complement the spiciness of this dish, while the slightly sweet malt backbone rounds out the flavors through the finish.
Grab the classic 60 Minute IPA to pair with Jambalaya! The assertive West Coast hops used in this IPA are a perfect balance to the spicy Andouille sausage and peppers used in the entrée, and the crisp body of this beer provides a refreshing finish.
