We’ve gotten quite a few messages asking, “Where in the world is the 2024 beverage calendar?!” Typically released at the end of every year, just in time for your holiday gatherings, this year’s calendar is a bit delayed (sorry about that!) as we dialed in the details … but trust that it’s still the gift that will keep on giving all year long.

With innovation and experimentation at the core of who we are here at Dogfish Head, our 2024 release calendar features a mix of new and old, with everyday favorites and newly imagined limited releases. From beer to spirits, with cocktails in between, we’ve been busy crafting and we’ve got something for everyone. So, let’s get into it!

Art Series Ales with Artwork by Methane Studios:

Celebrating the magic at the intersection of art and ales, our annual Art Series is a collection of four unique beers featuring label artwork by a collaborating artist. The Art Series includes our iconic Punkin Ale, the return of Nordic Spring, the palate pleasing Mandarin & Mango Crush, and a new (in some regards) IPA that you just might recognize if ever visited us here in coastal Delaware – Covered in Nuggs.

• Nordic Spring: A hazy IPA brewed with Norwegian Kveik yeast, wild juniper berries, orange peel and Danko rye malt.
• Mandarin & Mango Crush: A citrusy fruit beer brewed with boatloads of mandarin oranges and mangos.
• Punkin Ale: A fall-favorite, full-bodied brown ale brewed with real pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices.
• NEW! Covered In Nuggs: A classically dank, piney IPA judiciously hopped with heaps of Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial hops.

This year’s Art Series beers will boast label designs by Methane Studios. Known for creating hand-crafted, intensely detailed screen prints, Methane Studios is an Atlanta-based operation made up of an Ohio-native, beer-loving duo, Mark McDevitt and Robert Lee.

Caution … it’s the Caution Cap Series:

The Caution Caps ARE BACK! Made up of beers clocking in at 15.0% ABV or higher, the Caution Cap series is marked by distinct neon yellow and black caps, each adorned with a caution exclamation mark … er, shark. This signature cap is your reminder to pick up a 4-pack for enjoyment now and one for laying down to age.

• 120 Minute IPA: An unfiltered and abundantly hoppy Imperial IPA continuously hopped with a copious amount of high-alpha American hops throughout the boil and whirlpool, and then dry-hopped with a boatload of hops.
• NEW! Affogato World Wide Stout: A special edition of our highly sought-after Imperial stout, inspired by the classic Italian dessert, affogato. World Wide Stout is a dark, rich and roasty beer brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley. This version takes things a step further, as it is infused with loads of locally roasted coffee and sweet vanilla.  

Canned Cocktails

Harnessing nearly 20 years of award-winning distilling experience, our spirits-based, ready-to-drink cocktails* feature two full proof shots combined with real ingredients for incredible flavor. In 2024, you’ll find go-to’s like Strawberry & Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade, as well as three new recipes that we can’t share just yet, but check out the full calendar below for some clues...

• Strawberry & Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade: Packing the well-balanced tartness of fresh-squeezed lemon combined with a sweet berry taste, this lovingly-crafted concoction begins with Dogfish Head Distilling Co. vodka distilled with honeyberries, macerated with strawberries and blended with lemonade.

Year-Round Beer:

• Citrus Squall: The perfect storm of an imperial golden ale and a paloma cocktail brewed with blue agave nectar, lime peels and grapefruit juice.
• 60 Minute IPA: A continually hopped IPA brewed with a slew of intense Northwest hops to deliver a pungently, citrusy, grassy hop flavor without being crushingly bitter.
