The ‘Coconut Etiquette’ hazy IPA is a limited-edition brew that has been developed by Dogfish Head Brewing Company in order to commemorate the 50th season of legendary television series Survivor.
Brewed with UNIQUE elements that include toasted coconut, dehydrated coconut water and passion fruit, the ‘Coconut Etiquette’ hazy IPA offers clear nods to the island setting of Survivor, not to mention a clear reference to episode 11 of season 48 of the show, whose title is the inspiration for this beer's name.
The beer is offered as part of a limited kit priced at $50, which includes a four-pack of 12-ounce cans along with a selection of Survivor-themed items such as a pint glass and sticker, all of which are creatively packaged in a castaway-style box designed to reflect the show’s format.
