Seasonal Beers (Must be 21 to purchase)
Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale
SeaQuench Ale is our session sour quencher made with lime peel, black lime and sea salt. It’s a citrusy-tart union of three German styles of beer blissfully brewed into one. We begin by brewing a straightforward Kolsch with lots of wheat and Munich Malt, then we brew a salty Gose with black limes, coriander, and our sea salt. We follow it all up with a citrusy-tart Berlinerweiss made with lime juice and lime peel. All three beers are then blended together in the fermentation tank to create this German hybrid. Must be 21 to purchase.

You guys should adjust where you “say” you deliver. I ordered now twice. The first time was bad weather so I figured that’s why you didn’t have a driver. But not the weather is fine and my order was cancelled after over 2 hours.Shouldn’t have been taken in the first place if you can’t find a driver to go where my address says you go.

Placed an order for pick up. The location never received my order. Had to send an email for a refund due to no one picking up for customer support.
