Last year, in the early fall of 2024, Dock Street partnered with Moore College of Art and Design and professor Joe Kulka (who is also a talented book illustrator!). We received over two dozen submissions from Kulka’s students as part of their semester coursework, and we (painstakingly) chose a winner - this gorgeous red fox depicted in mid-pounce by then-senior Hadley Precht, who has since graduated. We’re thrilled to bring this beautiful can back for a second year in a row, right in time for the coziest season of the year.

We spoke with Hadley about her inspo behind the artwork, particularly why she chose a fox for this beer. To note, the artwork came first, followed by a name for the beer - the prompt was a “jubilant red IPA”.

We’re so excited to announce our partnership with four local artists, coming 10/21 to Dock Street South. This fall, we’ll be featuring artists Jennifer Eubanks, Rich & Debra Riveral, and Lucy Shaiken on our brewery walls and we’d love to have you join us for an opening party and exhibit of their beautiful pieces.

All art will be on sale for purchase, 100% of proceeds will go straight to the artist. We’ll be featuring their artwork for the next few months, but please do stop by Tues, Oct 21st from 6-8pm to get a first look and meet our wonderful artists!

When we began brewing 40 years ago there was no such thing as good full bodied, American beer – you had to buy an imported beer if you wanted to drink a fully developed or innovative style beer. But why couldn’t Americans make rich, innovative, hand crafted, full-bodied American  beers?
