Punkin Ale Fest

Live Music

We’re amped to share that Trailer Park Casanovas will be taking the stage from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., bringing the heat with your favorite throwback hits from the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s!

Then from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., we’re welcoming back Through Being Cool, the fan-favorite acoustic emo band from our Milton Brewery’s emo nights.

Off-Centered Libations

Keep the goodness flowing with plenty of off-centered ales on tap, including the start of the show, Punkin Ale! Plus, our friends from Angry Orchard are joining the party! They’ll be onsite pouring their crisp, refreshing ciders to keep those fall vibes going strong. We'll also have a special Punkin Liqueur cocktail, alongside some non-alcoholic cider options too.

You can really get into the paw-some spirit with a new, exclusive collaborative brew with our pals from Brandywine Valley SPCA. Bob's Buddies Brew, an American lager that's perfect for fall, will be available only at Punkin Ale Fest! 

Beer & Benevolence

Did we mention the dogs?? This bark-tastic event will benefit the Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) who will be on-site with some adoptable canine friends. Not only will tips be donated from our Milton Brewery all month long, but you can also hop into our dog and family friendly photo booth throughout the event that will be entirely donation-based. 

PLUS, thank to our amazing vendors and their contributions, we'll have a raffle drawing at 3:30 p.m. full of fantastic prizes, all in support of the BVSPCA. 

It wouldn’t be a Dogfish Head event without a purr-fectly delicious collab beer! We teamed up with our pals at BVSPCA to brew up a Benevolence Beer that will be sure to get your tail wagging. Bob's Buddies Brew, an American Lager brewed with blueberries & ginger will be available exclusively at Punkin Ale Fest. This one-of-a-kind beer celebrates a one-of-a-kind doggo named Bob! Bob was a lovable rescue who was a long-term resident of BVSPCA before finding his forever family. His journey helped inspire the opening of their Animal Rescue Center (ARC) and represents their commitment to the animals who need us, as well as the folks who love them. So, raise the woof and have a pint with us on draft or take a 4-pack of 16oz cans home with you! Bob's Buddies Brew will be available at both our Off-Centered EmPOURium in Rehoboth and the Milton Brewery.
