DOGFISH HEAD PENNSYLVANIA TUXEDO JUNIPER PALE ALE

Beginning Nov. 9, Dogfish Head’s Pennsylvania Tuxedo will hit taps and cooler shelves in the 31 states where the brewery’s beers are sold — Pennsylvania included. It will be the first time the brew, which was initially released last year, will be available in bottles or on draft outside Dogfish’s Rehoboth brewpub and special events.



Dogfish Head teamed up with Pa.-based clothing manufacturer Woolrich Inc. for Pennsylvania Tuxedo, which takes its name from the red-and-black flannel hunting outfits the outdoorwear manufacturer popularized in the early 20th century. Woolrich, for its part, is also offering Dogfish Head-themed clothing.



The beer itself stands at 8.5 percent ABV (up from last year’s 4.5 percent ABV), and is flavored with spruce tips picked in the Pennsylvania area, as well as Pacific Northwest hops. As a pale ale, the result is a dry, malty brew highlighted with citrusy, resinous notes — something like Yards’ Tavern Spruce, but lighter and more hop-centric, plus more alcohol content.
