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.

Nothing about this is offensive. Strong IPA. On a side note, I planned on slowing my entry rate down this summer. But I also forgot I’d be gifted new beers from my parents so hold onto your hats ‘cause the reviews are coming fast.

Never had this before and that’s a fail on my part. Putting in some glow plugs in a GM Duramax before work this morning. The beer helps motivation

Cannot believe I have never checked in this classic Dogfish! Clean, crisp, light & maltier than I remember, but still good. 🍻

Always wanted to try Shelter and a DFH co-worker gave this one to me. Lovely medium amber colour with malt and hops singing in gentle harmony. Nice carbonation prickle and quite quaffable. 25 years never tasted so good.

One of the first “good” beers I had back in the day. Still solid today.

Throwback to one of DFH originals. A little different than the original, maybe better.

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.
