Introducing our new Hoppy Variety Pack!

Friday, July 30, 2021

Forget about roses … it’s time to stop and smell the HOPS! Check out our new Hoppy Variety Pack! Hitting shelves now nationwide, this variety 12 pack of 12 oz. cans features four hop-forward beers, including NEW Blue Hen Pilsner, and offers drinkers a unique, multi-sensory experience with a special, hop-scented element made using real hop oils on the front of each box. “It’s a reminder that’s life’s too short to drink boring beer,” says Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder. “So, grab a Hoppy Variety Pack and share it with your best beer-loving pals. After all, the tastiest beers are those enjoyed alongside friends and family.”

Created with hop lovers in mind, the Hoppy Variety Pack includes three fan-favorite off-centered ales – 60 Minute IPA, Slightly Mighty and 90 Minute IPA – and a Delaware-centric variety pack exclusive, Blue Hen Pilsner. Every Hoppy Variety Pack contains three 12 oz. cans of each!

  • 60 Minute IPA (6.0% ABV) – 60 Minute IPA is continually hopped for 60 full minutes with a boatload of intense Northwest hops. The result is an abundantly hoppy, but not crushingly bitter brew with bold citrusy and grassy hop flavors.
  • Slightly Mighty (4.9% ABV) – The first and number-one selling** lo-cal IPA in America, Slightly Mighty is a full-flavored, lo-cal IPA with just 95 calories per can.* Brewed with a hint of monk fruit for body and complexity, Slightly Mighty is slight in calories and carbohydrates yet mighty in hop character, throwing tropical notes of pineapple, coconut, mango and citrus.
  • 90 Minute IPA (9.0% ABV) – Making its debut in 12 oz. cans, 90 Minute IPA is a continually hopped Imperial IPA with rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas. Our first continually hopped beer and one of the country’s first Imperial IPAs, it is complemented by a strong malt backbone for an unapologetic, yet beautifully balanced flavor profile.
  • Blue Hen Pilsner (4.8% ABV) – Blue Hen Pilsner is a crisp and refreshing pilsner brewed with only four ingredients – water, yeast, earthy Saaz hops, and Delaware-grown and malted barley. Giving a loving nod to our home state, the beer’s label features the Delaware state bird and a color palette similar to that of the Delaware state flag.

“Our Hoppy Variety Pack is overflowing with a diverse and delicious lineup of off-centered goodness,” says Calagione. “All the beers within it hold a special place in my heart, but I am most excited about finally unveiling Blue Hen Pilsner to drinkers from coast-to-coast.”

We first released Blue Hen Pilsner in 4 packs of 16 oz. cans from our Rehoboth brewpub, Brewings & Eats, in April of this year. After selling out of our inventory almost immediately, we decided to expand production and release the beer nationally. Calagione adds, “Blue Hen Pilsner has been a huge hit, but for us, it’s more than just a crisp and tasty, super-sessionable brew … Blue Hen Pilsner is a liquid love letter to the agricultural awesomeness of our home state, allowing us to share a piece of our beloved Delaware roots with folks everywhere.”
