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.

Tastes like my craft beer past. Probably loved it in 1996. It’s still a solid entry pale ale, but enjoying the nostalgia more than the beer.
