We are thrilled to announce that we have Through Being Cool, the incredible band who plays acoustic emo nights at our Milton Brewery, will be back to rock the stage. More deets coming soon.
You think we would end the fun there?! No way! Not only will we have off-centered ales flowing all day, including Punkin Ale, we’ll also have our friends from Angry Orchard on-site serving up their delicious ciders alongside our festivities! Try two of their cider house exclusives such as SpiceMan and Sourced From Plum. So what do you say?? Ready to carve out some punkin fun?!
Did we mention the dogs?? Punkin Ale Fest is going to be a bark-centric event, so bring your pups along! During the month of October a portion of tips at the Milton Brewery will benefit the Brandywine Valley SPCA (BVSPCA) as part of Dogfish Head’s Beer & Benevolence program. The nonprofit will be on-site at Punkin Ale Fest with some adoptable canine friends. Those looking to support the non-profit can also bring their dogs and/or family over to our donation-based, fall-inspired photo booth from 1 p.m. - 2 p.m.
The generosity doesn’t stop there! Our amazing vendors have donated some incredible items from their booths for our raffle. All proceeds from the raffle will go directly to the BVSPCA. Raffle drawings will begin at 5:30 PM, and you must be present to win, so make sure to stick around for your chance to take home one of these fantastic prizes!
Get creative with pumpkin-centric activities like a pumpkin coloring station, pumpkin games, and a pumpkin decorating contest. To enter the contest, create a Dogfish Head themed pumpkin at home before the festival, and bring it with you between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. Judging will take place from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., with the winner announced at 5:30 p.m.. This year’s winner will go home with a boat load of Dogfish Head swag, and the reigning title as our Dogfish Head Punkin Champ!
