Dogfish Head Brews a Lasting Partnership with the Grateful Dead

Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery, describes the collaboration with the Grateful Dead as "the most rewarding collaborative project we've ever been involved with, and the most durable." The partnership has produced a series of beers inspired by the iconic band, including American Beauty, a pale ale named after the Dead's 1970 album. Over the years, Dogfish Head has become the official beer of the Grateful Dead, a status that Calagione says grew organically from a mutual appreciation for creativity and craftsmanship.
