“Since we last brewed Midas, we’ve received countless messages and comments from our followers across our social media channels, as well as from guests that have visited our properties in Delaware, all begging us to bring this deliciously complex beer back. Well, we heard you and we couldn’t be more excited for the return of this Ancient Ale!”
MILTON, Del., Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beginning tomorrow, Dogfish Head’s most-requested rare beer, Midas Touch, makes its highly anticipated return. The first of the brewery’s “Ancient Ales,” this beer-wine-mead hybrid is a “liquid gold” recreation of a millennia-old beverage enjoyed by the historic King Midas, the chemical evidence for which was found during the excavation of the Turkish ruler’s tomb. Midas Touch is currently making its way to taps and shelves across select states from coast-to-coast, but for drinkers who can’t wait, Dogfish Head’s Delaware locations will have it this week, both on draft and in 6pk/12oz cans.
MORE ON MIDAS TOUCH: Landing somewhere between a beer, a mead and a wine, Midas Touch is a liquid time capsule brewed with a unique blend of barley, honey, white Muscat grapes and saffron. Clocking in at 9.0% ABV, it is a sweet yet dry brew that appeals to both beer- and white wine-drinkers alike. Medium-bodied and lightly warming, Midas Touch boasts sweet notes of honey and orchard fruits, complemented by a subtle, earthy spice and a crisp, vinous finish.
