Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (Milton, Delaware) has officially announced that Mandarin & Mango Crush will join the brewery’s Off-Centered Art Series, “a yearly lineup of four limited-edition beers featuring artwork by a single collaborative artist,” in late March 2022.

Modeled after the Crush cocktail that “has long been a go-to summer [sipper] for locals” in coastal Delaware, Mandarin & Mango Crush is a Fruit Beer “brewed with boatloads of tart mandarin oranges and juicy Alphonso mangoes.” Coming in at 6% ABV, Mandarin & Mango Crush is a “lightly-sweet, hazy gold-colored brew [boasting] a refreshing, citrusy tartness and a crisp, dry finish for a sip of summer in every bottle.”

“With roots deep in coastal Delaware, the Crush cocktail has been one of my go-to summer sippers for quite some time, so helping recreate that iconic, beach-town libation in craft beer form was a really fun and collaborative experience for our brewing team. This beer is so refreshing, unique and sessionable; other than Punkin Ale, it might be my favorite seasonal Art Series beer we have ever made,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer.

Mandarin & Mango Crush is rolling out now and will be available for a limited time in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles and on draft. You can expect to find this Seasonal Release at craft beer-focused establishments located in Alabama, Florida, Delaware and throughout the rest of Dogfish Head’s distribution territory. Prost!
