Lager release a nod to Dover Speedway’s 50 years Jan. 31

January 16, 2019

Dover International Speedway, in cooperation with Dover-based Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company, is releasing a special Splash & Go lager as part of the celebrations surrounding the Monster Mile’s 50th anniversary this year.

Splash & Go, with 4.2 precent ABV, was developed to be an easy-drinking lager for fans to enjoy at home or in the grandstands at Dover International Speedway. It is named for the pit road strategy of drivers stopping in their pit box to take only a small amount of fuel before heading quickly back on the track.

As part of the Splash & Go launch, Dover International Speedway will host a beer release party at 6 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 31, in the Winner’s Circle Restaurant at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. The party is open to all, and Splash & Go pints will be available for $5. All visitors who purchase a Splash & Go pint will receive a free logo pint glass, while supplies last. Special Splash & Go Spectacular horse races also will be featured as part of Dover Downs’ regular live harness racing card. Post time for the first race Jan. 31 is 4:30 p.m., with the Splash & Go Spectacular, the ninth race of the evening, scheduled for an approximate 7 p.m. start.

“As we move toward our 50th anniversary race weekend in May, fans will continue to see these kinds of exciting announcements,” said Mike Tatoian, Dover International Speedway president and CEO. “The team at Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company has been great to work with on this project, and we’re excited to now see Splash & Go arrive in liquor stores, bars and restaurants this month – and in the hands of fans during our spring and fall race weekends.”

The first batch of Splash & Go was canned at Fordham & Dominion’s Dover headquarters in late December. The cans feature the track’s icon, Miles the Monster, along with distinctive Dover race photos. Splash & Go is the first beer Fordham & Dominion has produced on an all-new, state-of-the-art canning line it recently installed.

Bar and restaurant customers can also look for distinctive Miles the Monster Splash & Go Lager tap handles. For specific locations where Splash & Go will be sold, beginning Friday, Feb. 1, go to www.fordhamanddominion.com.
