D.G. Yuengling & Son – Good Spirits News

Milton, Delaware-based Dogfish Head Brewery is launching Hazy-O IPA. The new release is distinguished by using oat milk as part of its mash along with malted, rolled, and naked oats. The oat milk adds a creamy smoothness to the brew more akin to a milk stout, according to Dogfish Head, contrasting with the tropical hop flavors that come with being a hazy-style IPA. The result of nearly a year of R&D, it’s at 7.1% abv and is rolling out nationally in 6-packs of 12-ounce cans now.

They will be priced around $3 a can, while other packaging formats are slated to launch later this spring. Raging Eagle joins other recent innovation plays from Yuengling such as Golden Pilsner, Hershey’s Chocolate Porter, and light beer Flight by Yuengling.
