    Lots of nice surprises in the calendar for next year, some national, some regional but I'm pretty excited, here is the link. What I think are highlights and may interest others:

    The mid-90s I've had several times at the brewpub and it is soooo good, and a kolsch.

    India Brown Ale!!!!!!!!!!!!! Favorite Sweater, a good old fashion american amber with 48 IBUs.

    Chicory again!! And Shelter Pale Ale, an old school classic of theirs, Steady Glow of Tended Embers is a smoked beer.

    Small Batch Series: regional and mid-atlantic only:

    Aprihop, dreams do come true! A new cream ale and...Midas Touch!!!

    ----------------

    I personally think, way to go Dogfish!!!

    Midas Touch would be an instabuy for old time's sake.

    Was I the only one that couldn’t find their fall variety pack this year with chicory stout???
    It didn’t even come to my state (Nevada). We got plenty of the Wookey Jack at several stores. Hopefully they have better distribution/a larger batch next year for all 3 of those variety packs. Those all sound like buys.
    I guess worse comes to worst I’ll have to make my parents or brother grab them for me from Chicago burbs.

    My favorite thing was seeing it for $19 flat in Delaware, talk about a steal. All the variety packs coming up in 2026 will be buys for me I think.

    Speaking of “they” have better distribution, this is probably more of a “they” your distributors than Dogfish issue. Hopefully they get some of these ones out to your area.

    That's a terrific link to their 2026 release calendar. Easy to read and informative, kudos to the web team. Looking forward to Dogfish 26.

    Well whoever they are, they better figure something out soon! Using Dogfish’s “fish finder” I was unable to find their winter variety pack in any of the three cities closest to me; Reno, Sacramento, and San Francisco. I also tried Vegas, LA, and Portland.

    It would appear that Dogfish doesn’t want to share their variety packs with the West. A true shame, since like @Vegplay I was looking forward to the fall VP. I guess I can give up looking for it, and the new winter VP. :slight_frown:

    :beers:

    The new smoked for the winter variety reads like a Dogfish beer of old...

    While I too love their old school beers like Indian Brown, Chicory Stout, & Shelter Pale Ale, I would rather see them released on their own, not as part of a variety pack that includes 60 Minute, 30 Minute, etc.

    Me too, but sadly it seems to be the beer world we live in now. Maybe it’s the safer move, like SNs fan favorite pack a few years back. Or Saranac’s Throwback as another example; now we need Troegs to do it next, please…

    The regional releases should see six packs: aprihop, 61 minute, Midas touch and the new cream ale.

    I had Mid-90’s at the brewpub and loved it as well. Looking forward to the variety packs— Indian Brown finally!

    Agree that 2026 release schedule is exciting! Miss the tackle box beer from the early 2000s. One in particular is Aprihop. Do you know if the small batch series brews see distro?

    I would assume it varies by state/distributor but 61 minute is the first and they just posted available at brewery now and throughout the Atlantic in the coming weeks.

    I’m gonna cry when I take that first sip of aprihop when it returns.

    Ditto for the spring seasonal, post says available everywhere in the coming weeks.

    The other day on social media I saw them post a picture of a can of Immort Ale. I guess that was a brew-pub only release?

    Nice line up with some cool classics such as Midas Touch or 120, and quite a few things I would have again. Still missing their Palo Santo Marrón, though.

    Yup, at Milton Brewry, and earlier this year also Burton Baton, I could’ve grabbed when we were there but it was never a beer I was a huge fan of.

    I forget what I thought of immort ale, or if I ever had it at this point. Do you remember enjoying it?

    I was a fan of Burton Baton.

    Immort Ale was a beer I had fewer times, so don't remember as well. But my review from 2011 is pretty postive

    Great lineup.

    Just got an email from TW, 61 is $7.99 a six.

    Also showed they have Victory Head waters in cans. Not had that beer in years.


    Thanks for the post

    Enjoy
