Whether you devoured your fair share of burritos in the parking lot, hitchhiked your way to a show or traded bushels of fresh clementines for tickets, there was something special about a Grateful Dead show and the memories that came with it. If only you could have bottled the magic…

And bottle it we did. Brewed with granola and succulent wildflower honey, American Beauty is a hoppy pale ale that we first brewed back in 2013. A collaboration with the Grateful Dead, we recently got the band back together, releasing this psychedelic fan-favorite in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles for the first time ever in 2019!

To celebrate the return of American Beauty and our longtime collaboration with the Grateful Dead, we hosted an American Beauty-themed weekend Friday, Feb. 8 and Saturday, Feb. 9, including a special Grateful Dead-inspired Beer Experience that featured a Q&A with Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione and Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux!

For those who weren't able to join us, or for those who want to relive the magic, we've captured it all. So settle in and enjoy!
