Philadelphia sports fans and beer lovers, get ready! A new craft IPA from a Flyers star and Dogfish Head is here, dedicated to supporting our brave first responders. But that’s not all – our Eagles are bringing back their iconic Kelly Green jerseys for three big NFC East showdowns! Which news has you more excited for the season ahead?
Philadelphia is buzzing with the launch of Engine 19 IPA, a new craft beer that combines the passion of local sports, community spirit, and expert brewing. This unique initiative sees Philadelphia Flyers’ right wing Garnet Hathaway team up with Flyers Charities and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery to support local first responders and their families, embodying a true commitment to those who serve our communities.
Engine 19 IPA is more than just a beverage; it is a vehicle for philanthropy through Hath’s Heroes, an initiative spearheaded by Hathaway and his wife, Lindsey. Every sip contributes directly to assisting the brave men and women who act as the first line of defense, providing crucial aid to them and their loved ones in times of need.
The journey to bring Engine 19 IPA to fruition spanned over a year, meticulously crafted through a collaborative effort. This partnership underscores Dogfish Head’s long-standing Beer & Benevolence program, a testament to their 30-year commitment to local community support and giving back to the roots that fostered their “off-centered” brewing philosophy.
Described as a “citrus-forward pale ale brewed with a purpose,” Engine 19 IPA boasts a robust 6.5% alcohol content. Its intricate flavor profile is achieved through a carefully selected blend of Simcoe, Chinook, and Citra hops, delivering vibrant aromas of pine and pithy citrus that are expertly rounded out by subtle notes of passion fruit, toffee, and biscuit.
Fans eager to experience this flavorful and meaningful brew can anticipate its availability throughout Pennsylvania and Delaware, offered on draft, in six-packs, and 12oz cans. An official launch party is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, at PHS Beer Garden South Street from 6 to 8 p.m., a free and open-to-the-public event hosted by Flyers Charities and Dogfish Head.
Furthermore, Philadelphia Flyers enthusiasts will have the opportunity to purchase Engine 19 IPA directly at Flyers games throughout the upcoming season, seamlessly integrating this charitable brew into the game-day experience. This direct availability at the stadium enhances the connection between the team, the community, and the cause.
While the city celebrates this new philanthropic venture, another exciting announcement has captivated Philadelphia sports fans: the iconic Kelly Green jerseys are making a triumphant return for the Philadelphia Eagles. This eagerly awaited uniform will be featured in three crucial NFC East matchups during the upcoming season, building on a recent undefeated streak when donning the classic colors.
The Eagles confirmed they will sport the throwback uniforms on October 9 and November 23, with a third date yet to be determined in 2025. This marks a significant moment, as it will be the first time since their return in 2023 that the Eagles will wear the Kelly Green jerseys for an away game, fueling anticipation among the passionate fan base who hope the winning tradition continues.
