Dogfish Head finally canning beers?

Yes, toured their brewery 2 weeks ago and they will be canning before end of the year I believe.

 

In a stovepipe can that looks like a log.

 

yea for cans....l like canned beer mostly because it seems to stay fresher longerand is more portable ☺

 

8oz can 8 packs sounds like the perfect format for high abv stuff in cans

 

I believe 21st amendment does this for at least one of their high ABV beers.

 

I'd kill for Indian Brown in cans

 

Yep, Lower De Boom Barleywine. 11.5% ABV and 8.4 oz cans.

Welcome to The CANQuest (tm)!

 

Now they will just turd in a can, instead of bottle.

 

Flesh & Blood is ok in a bottle. I think it would pop more in a can. I would love to see DFH in cans. I would buy more of their offerings if they were canned because of freshness.

 

I'd love to see Namaste, Peche Festiva and Piercing Pils in cans. Ultimate beach light beer variety pack there!

 

A late reply to this but I agree. I live in Dover, DE and it is hard to get fresh 60 here. Beer distro in DE is limited to liquor stores only. No Wal Mart, Food Lion, WaWa, Royal Farms etc. Every neighborhood liquor store has DFH and buys x amount to get better pricing. Dover has 25+ liquor stores. I live 30 minutes from Milton and it is hard to find core DFH beers within 60-90 days here. If I have to drive south I will try to stop in Milton and buy at the source but fresh 60 here in Dover is hard to find.

 

That's a shame, oddly enough I can find fresh DFH beers here in the Philly region again and I see DFH 60 Min, within weeks of bottling often.

 

What? They didn't pop for custom DFH shark logo "colored punched tabs"?

 

If they really want to get in on the can craze they should re-introduce Shelter as their "low-ABV offer". 5% is still too high to be called session (at least by some people) but just look at All Day IPA (4.7%) for proof that people want a low ABV beer in cans.

 

Re-branded Shelter 45 Minute IPA?
4.5 ABV, 45 IBU's seems about right.

 

Yeah, forgot about their Shelter (brewery only). If they did a $14.99 12 pack can variety and include 3 Shelter Pale Ales, 3 Piercing Pils, 3 Namastes and 3 Festina Peche and that would be a huge hit in volume sales during the summer months. Of course when I usually see Piercing Pils & Festina 4 packs for $9.99 on store shelves...doubt the price I mentioned for 12 pack cans would be reasonable to DFH.

 

$13.99 60 minute 6-pack bottles in my area (northeast PA). You don't see a price break usually between cans & bottles on a lot of the crafts/imports for some reason unless they run a case quantity discount. You would think less weight in shipping with the cans and only can ringers instead of 6-pack cartons would bring the price down...... Idk maybe the local suppliers are getting them cheaper and charging the same price as the bottles.
