Dogfish Head Celebrates 30th Birthday with Weekend of Events in Coastal Delaware

MILTON, Del. (June 9, 2025) – Monday, June 23, is Dogfish Head’s official 30th anniversary!
The brewery invites friends and fans to celebrate this momentous occasion with a weekend-long schedule of events – Friday, June 20, through Monday, June 23 – at its coastal Delaware locations, including a plethora of free live music performances, limited-edition beer releases and food specials, prizes and giveaways … even fresh tattoos! Here’s what folks can expect from Manifest the Awesomeness – Dogfish Head’s 30th Birthday Extravaganza. 

Dogfish Head x North Park Beer Co. Collaboration:

In honor of its 30th anniversary, Dogfish Head teamed up with San Diego’s North Park Beer Co., to brew Manifest The Awesomeness (6.8% ABV), an abundantly hoppy West Coast IPA made with geographically significant malt and a ripe blend of fruity, dank and resinous hop varieties. Offering a true “hop-splosion” in every sip, this limited-edition beer was “continual drip-hopped” during the boil – an all-new, experimental brewing technique during which an innovative, hop-flowable extract is continually added to the beer’s boiling wort for a full hour – and then double dry-hopped after fermentation.

Beginning Friday, June 20, Manifest The Awesomeness will be available on draft at Dogfish Head’s Rehoboth brewpub and Milton brewery, as well as to-go in 4pk/16oz cans from the Off-Centered EmPOURium in Rehoboth. Priced at $18 per 4pk. Available while supplies last.

“We’re beyond excited to be celebrating our 30th anniversary with a collaboration as special as Manifest The Awesomeness – a beer that represents innovation, creativity, and the artistry of craft brewing,” said Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder, Sam Calagione. “The combination of cutting-edge hopping techniques and small-producer-sourced ingredients makes this release something truly unique, and we can’t wait for beer lovers to experience the bold flavors and incredible character we’ve crafted together with our friends at North Park!”
