The renowned craft brewery, Dogfish Head, and the legendary band Grateful Dead have teamed up once more to introduce an innovative and flavorful beer. The new creation, Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, is now available nationwide in 6-pack cans. This collaboration brings together tropical fruit notes and a malty base, offering a refreshing experience for both music and beer enthusiasts. The partnership, which began over a decade ago, continues to thrive, celebrating creativity, community, and innovation.

A Decade of Creative Collaboration

Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead's relationship has been marked by mutual respect and shared values. Their journey began in 2013 with the release of American Beauty, an imperial pale ale that featured organic almond honey and granola. Over the years, this partnership has evolved, introducing various brews with unique flavors and designs. Each release has not only delighted fans but also strengthened the bond between the two entities.

This long-standing collaboration is built on a foundation of creativity and exploration. The initial success of American Beauty in 750ml bottles led to its re-release in subsequent years, each time adorned with different Grateful Dead-themed artwork. The introduction of American Beauty Hazy Ripple IPA in 2019 further solidified their commitment to innovation. Despite speculation about the end of their partnership, Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead continue to surprise and delight fans with new offerings.

Introducing Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale

The latest addition to the lineup, Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, showcases a harmonious blend of tropical fruits and malt. Brewed with Kernza® perennial grains from The Land Institute, granola, and a touch of good karma, this 5.3% ABV beer promises a light and refreshing taste. The use of El Dorado and Azacca hops adds layers of flavor, making each sip a delightful experience. Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione, emphasizes the sensory pleasure of combining great music with an exceptional brew.

To celebrate the launch of Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, a special event will take place on March 12 at Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, featuring a live performance by Bushwick’s Dead. The event underscores the shared passion for innovation and community that defines both Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead. Attendees can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere while savoring the new brew. As Dogfish Head approaches its 30th anniversary and Grateful Dead celebrates 60 years, this collaboration stands as a testament to their enduring legacy of creativity and joy.
