Dogfish Head crosses the pond for next collaboration

April 3, 2013Jason Morgan

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is no stranger to traveling the world to brew unique craft beers. For its latest globetrotting beer, the craft brewery is teaming up with Bedford, England-based Charles Wells to put a unique twist on international brewing collaborations with DNA New World IPA and DNA UK.

Dogfish Head England Collaboration Charles Wells
They might drive on the opposite side of the road, but the English sure can brew. Dogfish Head is teaming up with Bedford, England-based Charles Wells to put a unique twist on international brewing collaborations.

The Dogfish Head blog detailed the two beers. The DNA New World is a 4.5-percent ABV India Pale Ale, brewed and distributed in England. It marries East Coast USA and East Anglican UK brewing styles. On the other side, DNA New World has a toasty, nutty start followed by a highly hopped, citrusy finish. It will be available in England on cask starting April 1 and will be bottled and kegged later this year.

The pioneering collaboration will be replicated on the other side of the Atlantic this summer when Dogfish Head brews a cask IPA using a yeast strain from Charles Wells. DNA UK will debut at Philadelphia Beer Week in June, and a team from both breweries will be on hand to celebrate the release.

From the Dogfish Head blog:

“Rather than simply mashing new ingredients together,” says Tim Sprake, International Sales and Agency Director of Charles Wells, “we’ve taken a special reduction from 60 Minute IPA and integrated it into our own brewing process. In other words, we’ve taken the very DNA of one beer and added it to the brewing process of another. As a result, we’ve produced a beer that is unique and diverse and a little bit special.”
…
“We have a mutual respect for Charles Wells,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. “It’s been great to work on this project together. We have a flair for originality and doing things a bit differently, and it’s been terrific to explore a new addition to our craft beer range through such an exciting brewing initiative.”
