Daydream To The Sounds of the Grateful Dead With Dogfish Head's Latest Brew

From Dogfish Head: 

Clocking in at 5.3% ABV, Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is an adventurous American Lager brewed with Fonio grains and rice, then lifted with the sunny goodness of lemongrass, lime and lemon peel. It's gently hopped for a splash of citrus and a soft blossom of floral aroma, creating a crisp, clean and refreshing beer that feels light on its feet but full of character. And the good vibes with this brew don't stop at flavor. Fonio is an ancient West African grain that's naturally drought‑resistant and fast‑growing, requiring fewer resources than many traditional grains.

It's a small ingredient with a big impact … bringing subtle, delicate notes to Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager while supporting more sustainable brewing practices along the way. In other words, this is a beer where bright flavor and thoughtful brewing go hand in hand. Light, crisp, and endlessly refreshing, Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager is made for moments when your mind starts to wander, and your schedule suddenly opens up … proof that small, intentional ingredients can lead to big, feel‑good daydreams.
