This is our original and most approachable beer. We got our start back in 1995 brewing this very beer on our teeny, tiny brewing system at Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
Brewed with a premium barley and northwestern Williamette and Columbus hops, Shelter Pale Ale has a fine malt backbone and a slightly nutty flavor. It's a versatile and quaffable beer.
We named this beer Shelter Pale Ale because we think of a shelter as being a place you come home to. It just made sense for this Dogfish original.
Shelter Pale Ale is available on draft only, available in Delaware. At 5% ABV, Shelter is a great anytime beer.
Admin Note: In 2023, Dogfish Head canned and packaged Shelter Pale Ale as a part of the Continuously Hopped Variety Pack.

Great golden colour, perfect Pale Ale smell...all-around one of the best tasting Pale Ales. Perfectly balanced, not too hoppy!

Well-balanced session ale. It's hard to wrap your head around the fact that there aren't caramelized rose petals, sandalwood oils, hickory-smoked ostrich eggs or some other bizarre stuff in here. Imagine, a normal-tasting beer from DFH.

Golden and fizzy. Interesting fruit aromas (grapes and apples?) but intensely hoppy, with firmly bitter aftertaste. Mellows as you finish. Much easier to drink the last 2 sips than the first two.
