To Celebrate 30 Years, Dogfish Head Turns Back Time with New Cherry Pale Ale, An Off-Centered Reconstruction of Founder’s First-Ever Homebrewed Beer

MILTON, Del., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honor of its 30^th anniversary, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery unveils an off-centered reconstruction of Founder Sam Calagione’s first-ever homebrew, Cherry Pale Ale. A liquid time capsule transporting drinkers back to the mid-90s, this limited-edition beer is brewed with Delaware wheat, Maine barley, Cascade hops and boatloads of beautiful cherries for an easy-drinking, summertime sipper with balanced sweet and tart notes of stone fruit.

Want to try the beer that started it all? Beginning this Friday, July 18, at noon EST, Dogfish Head’s Cherry Pale Ale will be available for purchase within a special 30^th birthday box exclusively at www.givethembeer.com. Dogfish Head’s Cherry Pale Ale 30^th birthday box includes a 6pk/12oz cans of Cherry Pale Ale alongside a selection of 90s-inspired Dogfish Head merchandise – a magnet, sticker pack, mini pennant flag and a special Post Tape digital cassette. Priced at just $30 each, including shipping, while supplies last.

“I first brewed Cherry Pale Ale back in 1993, while I was writing the business plan for Dogfish Head,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder. “After serving it to my roommates and friends at a party in our small New York City apartment, I knew – and proclaimed to everyone – that brewing beer was what I wanted to do with my life. Now, in honor of Dogfish Head’s 30^th birthday, I couldn’t be more excited to share my virgin brew with drinkers near and far!”

To make this release of Cherry Pale Ale as authentic as possible, every detail was thoughtfully inspired by Dogfish Head’s history and Calagione’s first time homebrewing. The beer’s recipe includes Delaware wheat and Maine barley, offering loving nods to the brand’s bistate roots – Delaware, where the brand was founded and is still rooted today, and Maine, the state housing the jut of land after which Dogfish Head was named. The label artwork, which features a hand-painted cherry, is a recreation of the artwork that adorned Calagione’s original homebrew. And to keep things true-to-history, it was created the same way as the original, by Calagione, using a hand-carved potato stamp and finely bristled paint brush.
