Dogfish Head Announces Artist Collaboration for 2019-2020 Off-Centered Art Series with Return of 75 Minute IPA

From Dogfish Head:

Milton, DE , Oct. 11 – With the unveiling of 75 Minute IPA’s new look, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery introduces Dan Stiles as its collaborating artist for the 2019-2020 Off-Centered Art Series, an annual collection of four beers that personifies the creative expression at the intersection of ales and art. An acclaimed illustrator and author based in Portland, Oregon, Stiles has spent 25 years creating visuals for indie bands, global brands and everyone in between. Drawing inspiration from an array of media – skateboard graphics, album covers, modern art, Japanese design, comic books and vintage packaging, he creates artfully simplistic, pop-off-the-page designs that are known worldwide.

Using vibrant colors and clean lines, Stiles brings his minimalist aesthetic to life in his powerful design for 75 Minute IPA. This year’s steampunk-themed label portrays a man wearing a top hat; an image created entirely by pieces of metalwork commonly seen in a brewery – pipes, cogs, hoses, bolts. In his hand, the character holds a maple leaf and a hop cone to represent the hoppy, maple syrup-infused nectar that is 75 Minute IPA. His only eye beckons to drinkers, daring them to crack open a bottle.

“Each year, I look forward to watching the visions of our collaborating artists come to life. It’s always astounding to see how well they can integrate their personal styles with our brand’s unique personality to tell the off-centered stories of our beers,” said Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head. “I’m beyond excited and impressed by Dan’s interpretation of 75 Minute IPA. He’s definitely set the bar pretty high for the rest of his Art Series creations – and I can’t wait to see them come to fruition!”

The first beer out of the 2019-2020 Off-Centered Art Series, 75 Minute IPA was conceived in 2011 at Dogfish Head’s original Rehoboth Beach brewpub. Offering a twist on the brewery’s classic, continually hopped series, this year’s iteration of 75 Minute IPA is brewed with New England maple syrup, continually hopped throughout the entire boil and dry hopped with a slew of Cascade hops. The result is a malty, full-bodied base beer with citrusy-pine hop flavors balanced by subtle maple notes. Clocking in at 7.5% ABV, 75 Minute IPA will be available on shelves in 6pk/12oz bottles throughout Dogfish Head’s 45-state network starting in late October.

The remaining beers in Dogfish Head’s 2019-2020 Off-Centered Art Series will roll out over the next year, including The Perfect Disguise (8.0% ABV) – an American, double dry-hopped IPA disguised as a Kolsch, Sun-Day-Feels (6.5% ABV) – a fruited sour brewed with Viogner grape must, blood orange juice and peach puree, and Punkin Ale (7.0% ABV) – a full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin, brown sugar and spice.
