Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin now in bottles and cans nationally

Ballast Point Brewing brews Sculpin, a widely popular IPA. Building on the the popularity and people’s lust for hops, the brewery created two new offerings, Habanero Sculpin, and Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin.

Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin cans have officially come off the line in California, and have hit the brewery’s tap room, and are making their way to markets across the United States.

Our Grapefruit Sculpin is the latest take on our signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin’s unique flavor, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements our IPA’s citrusy hop character. Grapefruit’s a winter fruit, but this easy-drinking ale tastes like summer.

Dogfish Head American Beauty Art Updated for Dead’s 50th

Dogfish Head American Beauty, the brewery’s tribute, and inspired by, The Grateful Dead, is getting an artwork overhaul in honor of the band’s 50th anniversary.

The imperial pale ale combines American hops and an ingredient not seen in beer often – granola. Dead fan (and beer fan) Thomas Butler shared his favorite concert story that lead to the granola choice.

Inside this bottle. Your miracle ticket awaits. We called Americas Beauty, an imperial Pale Ale inspired by the Grateful Dead. The best way to capture 30 years, 100 albums, 1,500 shows? Let the loyal fans drive the recipe. Among thousands of suggestions, granola was top. It was the main course in millions of parking lot meals and is newsstand toasty complement to the all-American hops and barley. There was something different about a Dead show. Whether you saw one or 103, you felt it but you knew it wouldn’t last forever. If only you could have bottled it …

Dogfish Head American Beauty is slated to make a seasonal appearance again in May, 2015.

Style: IPA (w/ Granola)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
