MILTON, Del., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summer doesn’t end on Labor Day, so why pretend it does? After a season of unpredictable weather, there is a growing desire to hold onto summer’s carefree, sun-soaked moments. In fact, more than half of Americans* wished summer lasted longer. Thanks to Dogfish Head Cocktails, now it can! 

In celebration of its new ready-to-drink Peach Mango Rum Punch cocktail, available exclusively within its Tropical Cocktail Mix Pack, Dogfish Head will pay one lucky drinker to extend their summertime state-of-mind. Dogfish Head is seeking one sunshine-loving fan to drop everything for a month-long, seaside escape in coastal Delaware … and they will foot the bill! That’s right, Dogfish Head will not only cover housing in a beachfront bungalow, but it will pay the winner a $10K stipend to keep the summer fun going strong.

“For the last 30+ years, Dogfish Head has been lucky enough to call coastal Delaware home,” said Dogfish Head Founder, Sam Calagione. “Just like the natural flavor goodness in our Delaware-made ready-to-drink cocktails, our beaches are vibrant and beautiful, and there’s no better time to visit than September / October – the weather is awesome, the water is inviting, the crowds less robust, and the traffic virtually disappears … we like to call it ‘locals’ summer.’”

Beginning today, Tuesday, September 2, folks can visit www.dogfish.com/extend-your-summer to enter for a chance to win Dogfish Head’s “Extend Your Summer” contest**. Simply share why you want to relish in the dog(fish) days of summer for a bit longer – bonus points will be awarded for the most off-centered answer! Entrants must be 21+ and U.S. Residents. Full rules can be found HERE.

But there’s no losers on Dogfish Head’s watch! With Dogfish Head’s Tropical Cocktail Mix Pack of ready-to-drink refreshers, that summertime state-of-mind is never more than a sip away!
