Shelter Pale Ale

Pale Ale - American

This is our original and most approachable beer. We got our start back in 1995 brewing this very beer on our teeny, tiny brewing system at Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, Del. Brewed with a premium barley and northwestern Williamette and Columbus hops, Shelter Pale Ale has a fine malt backbone and a slightly nutty flavor. It's a versatile and quaffable beer.

Original DFH ale? At 5% ABV that’s hard to believe. Sessionable (duh). Biscuit with a balanced hop profile. Why isn’t this nationally distributed? 120 Minute is, but this is much more approachable than that hop bomb triple.
