“For me, warmer weather means the opportunity to get outside and explore coastal Delaware’s wonders,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder. “Whether I’m paddle boarding along the canal, biking through one of our beautiful state parks or just enjoying a delicious adult beverage with good ‘ole Mother Nature, I can’t think of a better companion than one of our many seasonal beers and cocktails. Offering a refreshing counterpoint to the sun’s heat, Festina Pêche has to be my favorite of our seasonal beers, but our new, year-round Blueberry Citrus Vodka Lemon Drop canned cocktail may end up being my go-to for this year’s warmer months!”

DOGFISH HEAD’S OFF-CENTERED ALES: WARMER-WEATHER BREWS
Fans asked, Dogfish Head answered! This year, Dogfish Head’s lineup of warmer-weather beers features the return of two long-beloved brews alongside a new variety pack. 

Aprihop (7.0% ABV): Returning as part of the brewery’s “Small Batch Series,” a series of four limited-edition beers available in select Mid-Atlantic markets, Aprihop is an American IPA brewed with pilsner and Crystal malts, and dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. Originally brewed in 2004, the beer’s hoppy, resiny bitterness is tempered by the complementary addition of apricot puree, which contributes fruity undertones and flavors of stone fruit. Aprihop is now shipping to taps and shelves, in 6pk/12oz cans, in select Mid-Atlantic markets.

Festina Pêche (4.5% ABV): Making its comeback as Dogfish Head’s summer Season-ALE release, this year’s iteration of Festina Pêche features packaging artwork by Dylan Goldberger, a Brooklyn-based illustrator and Dogfish Head’s 2026 Season-ALEs collaborating artist. Festina Pêche is a neo-Berliner Weiss brewed with truckloads of real peaches for an uber-refreshing beer blending tangy and sweet notes of peach pits and fuzzy rinds. Festina Pêche is now shipping to taps and shelves, in 6pk/12oz cans, from coast-to-coast.

NEW! Groovy Variety Pack: Built for sunnier sippin,’ Dogfish Head’s new seasonal variety pack, the Groovy Variety Pack, is a 12pk/12oz can package featuring an assortment of four off-centered ales. In addition to Dogfish Head’s summer Season-ALE, Festina Pêche, each Groovy Variety Pack includes a mix of the following beers.

Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale (5.3% ABV): A light, easy-drinking pale ale brewed with Kernza perennial grain from The Land Institute and hopped with a mix of El Dorado and Azacca hops for a light-bodied beer rich in tropical hop flavors and aromas.

30 Minute Light IPA (4.0% ABV): A hoppy, crisp and crushable continually hopped light IPA with all the flavor and aromas of a world-class IPA, but only 95 calories and 3.6g carbs per 12oz can.*
