American Beauty

Pale Ale - American

In 2013, we released American Beauty, a collaboration with the Grateful Dead. Dogfish Head and the Grateful Dead both built their followings by connecting directly with their fans, so we asked those loyal fans to help drive the beer’s recipe. After more than 1,500 ingredient suggestions, granola came out on top! This year, American Beauty is back for an encore! Clocking in at 6.5% ABV (to mark the year the Grateful Dead was formed, 1965), this psychedelic pale ale is brewed with granola and succulent wildflower honey, and boasts malty and sweet notes of honey, toasted grain and citrus. After one taste of American Beauty, there will be nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile! Available on draft and in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles.

Brews with B.

Switching it up from local breweries today and trying the Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead ‘American Beauty’ collaboration. This pale ale is a little on the sweeter side, brewed with a mixture of granola and honey, but overall it was super smooth

Per my prior check in comment, confirming this is better than 60 minute because it’s actually exhibits any character at all in 2020. Subtle bitter finish and pleasantly fruity In the meantime

First beer I was able to taste post-Corona. For that, it gets a little extra love for having a special place in my heart. Other than that tho, nothing special.
