The Story of Dogfish Head’s Grateful Dead Beer [VIDEO]
The next music inspired beer from Dogfish Head,American Beauty arrives this month. The beer is an imperial pale ale inspired by The Grateful Dead combines American hops and granola. Dead fan (and beer fan) Thomas Butler shared his favorite concert story that lead to the granola choice.
If I said a brewery used meteorites in their beer, who would you think of? Dogfish Head would be the first guess for me. Of course, they’ve done it.
In honor of fall, the brewery has launched a very special oktoberfest beer brewed with lunar meteorites. Yes, meteorites.
Dogfish teamed up with NASA space suit makers ILC Dover to find and use the obviously rare ingredient. The rocks were crushed fine and added to the brew. It is said this mineral and salt based rock gives the festbier an added earthiness.
The out of this world fun doesn’t stop there. The beer is also served with koozies made from spacesuit material. Have you ever used a beer koozie made out of Kevlar, Mylar and Orhofabric? It literally can withstand temperatures of +250/-250F, micrometeoroid traveling at 10 miles per second, solar radiation and the vacuum of space. Holy. Freaking.Crap.
The beer is a brewpub exclusive. So space/beer nerds get your Big Bang Theory loving butt to Delaware. May the Force Be With You. Live Long and Prosper. This is one small beer for man, one giant beer burp for mankind.
Style: Oktoberfest (w/ Lunar Meteorites) Availability: Draft only
Coming in 2014 is the official hotel for Dogfish Head – The Dogfish Inn. The small, 16 room inn will be located in downtown Lewes, Delaware.
“We’ve already got great excitement from the Department of Tourism, Delaware Economic Development Office and the Governor’s Office for this project,” says Dogfish Founder and President Sam Calagione. “And we’re excited to work with the local agencies as well because we’re very confident that this motel will bring a lot more business not just to Dogfish but to the other local retailers and restaurateurs in Delaware.”
The inn overlooks the harbor in Lewes. It’s not far from the distillery, brewpub and production facility. Brooklyn, New York Studio Tack and Magnolia, Delaware based Lighthouse Construction are in charge of the buildout.
