Dogfish Head is bringing back their Grateful Dead inspired Pale Ale, “American Beauty” on December 7th.
In a statement on social media from Dogfish Head, “We’re getting the band back together with American Beauty releasing in 6-packs for the first time ever!! Brewed in collaboration with Grateful Dead, this psychedelic pale ale is made with granola and succulent wildflower honey, and releases this Friday, Dec. 7 at our Dogfish Head Tasting Room & Kitchen and Dogfish Head Brewpub! 🌹💙🌹 #offcentered#craftbeer#GratefulDead“
Available in 6pk/12oz bottles and clocking in at 6.5% ABV to commemorate the year the Grateful Dead was formed (1965), American Beauty is brewed with granola and succulent wildflower honey which adds toasty, sweet notes to this hoppy ale. Dogfish Head first collaborated with the band in 2013, they jointly reached out to their fan base with a call out for ingredient suggestions to incorporate into the recipe of the beer. Loyal dead heads and off-centered ale enthusiasts submitted more than 1500 ingredient suggestions, and after careful thought (and chuckles at some of the entries,) it was granola for the win. The beer was an instant favorite and Dogfish Head is bringing it back for a limited time in December 2018, and will be available through 2019.
