Dogfish Head debuts Wake Up World Wide Stout

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s World Wide Stout, a rich, roasty, popular imperial stout, is back with a wake-up call.

This new, breakfast-themed iteration of the brewery’s fan-favorite beer, lovingly dubbed Wake Up World Wide Stout, is brewed with regeneratively grown malts from Epiphany Malting, organic maple syrup from New Leaf Tree Syrups, oat milk from Elmhurst and organic coffee beans from Rise Up Coffee Roasters. Clocking in at 15-17% ABV, Wake Up World Wide Stout is hitting the shelves in 4pk/12oz bottles.

Robust, sweet and warming, Wake Up World Wide Stout is a jet-black beer with balanced notes of espresso, sweet maple, roasted cacao and smoked honey for an out-of-this-world flavor profile. To complement its otherworldly taste, Wake Up World Wide Stout boasts outer space-themed packaging with a 4pk bottle carrier that glows in the dark. Black and neon yellow, the beer’s label and packaging artwork were designed to match its neon-yellow bottle cap, which shows it is part of Dogfish Head’s Caution Cap series. To rate a Caution Cap, beers must have an ABV of 10% or higher, meaning they are prime candidates for cellar aging.

“World Wide Stout has always been one of my favorites, but this new iteration holds a special place in my heart,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head founder and brewer. “Wake Up World Wide Stout not only offers a unique and intense drinking experience, being brewed and bottled with coffee, but through its use of organic and regeneratively grown ingredients, it shines a light on the importance of sustainable farming practices. The first stout we ever brewed at Dogfish nearly three decades ago, Chicory Stout, was brewed with organic ingredients, and Wake Up World Wide Stout allowed us to amplify that legacy. From thoughtfully selecting and combining ingredients in ways that bring forward rich and intense flavors and aromas right down to the off-centered packaging design, this release delivers globally and locally, the stout heard round the world!”
