Dogfish Head | Engine 19 IPA
September 4, 2025 | Zeke Ottemiller
Let’s face it, hockey and beer go hand in hand. Both are best enjoyed cold, with friends. If one continues playing hockey into adulthood, it’s simply referred to as beer league. Since the days of Gordie Howe, hockey has been associated with the Molson’s and Labatt’s of the world. But that’s about to change, as the best sport on earth just dropped the gloves with the best beverage on earth for a new collaboration. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has teamed up with Philadelphia Flyers forward Garnet Hathaway to bring Engine 19 IPA to life.

The sheer volume of the unknown with global politics is not helped by a 4% segment drop in 2024, according to statistics put out by the Brewers Association. Instead of trying to peer into a crystal ball, let’s discuss something that is somewhat more tangible: the psychological trap that brewers, consumers, and industry experts fall into, known as the End of History Illusion.

When Obakeng Malope launched her highly ambitious Beer is Art project back in 2022, her focus was on raising money to educate young people in South Africa about the art of brewing, offering them career opportunities in the burgeoning South African craft beer market.
