\n\tAvailable year-round nationwide, Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is an American Rice Lager that\u2019s described as a \u201ccrisp, clean and super-sessionable with a splash of citrus for a drinking experience reminiscent of sunshine and daydreams,\u201d according to the brewery. It\u2019s made from rice and sustainable African Fonio grain, as it\u2019s hopped with a blend of Lemondrop and Contessa hops, as well as features lemongrass, lime and lemon peel for brightness.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFans of the Grateful Dead are totally engrained in its culture and can easily identify when something doesn\u2019t fit seamlessly with the band\u2019s ethos,\u201d says David Lemieux, the Grateful Dead\u2019s archivist & legacy manager, in a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s Dogfish and the Dead\u2019s shared values of creativity and nonconformity, and their laser focuses on remaining true to themselves that has made this partnership so successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGrateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager, which is 5.3% ABV (Alcohol by Volume), isn\u2019t the band\u2019s only collaboration with Dogfish Head. Last year, the band and brewery partnered with the fan-favorite Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, a light and breezy pale ale that was Dogfish Head\u2019s most successful launch to date.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFans felt the genuine connection between our brands with Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale and I\u2019m certain they will with Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager, too,\u201d continues Lemieux.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition, Dogfish Head launched the Daydream Playbook, a new online hub for creative exploration via storytelling, music, and art. It\u2019s a way for fans to engage with the collaboration through curiosity and creativity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDogfish Head and the Grateful Dead both began as mere ideas, and thinking back to the beginnings of Dogfish, never in my wildest daydreams did I imagine we would one day be collaborating with a group as culturally influential as the Grateful Dead,\u201d says Sam Calagione, Dogfish head brewer & founder. \u201cOne heck of a wild ride, our now more than 10-year relationship with the Dead has reinforced my belief in the value of thoughtful, authentic, against-the-grain experimentation\u2026 failures be damned<\/em>. It is only by continuously pushing the boundaries of the beer and music industries that both Dogfish and the Grateful Dead have blossomed into what we are now, and together, I hope we can inspire others to do the same \u2013 to chart their own courses as they embark on their own explorations of goodness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Dogfish Head has a few surprises for Record Store Day this year, which lands on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
