From Dogfish Head:
Milton, DE. – In celebration of the upcoming 10th anniversary of Record Store Day, Dogfish
Head Craft Brewery is releasing Beer To Drink Music To ’17, a tropical blonde ale, and will unite
with Crosley Radio, architect of the iconic turntable, to kick off a two-month city tour of
independent record stores and beer bars, sharing the love of vinyl, analog music and delicious
craft brews. The Dogfish Head x Crosley Cruiser journey begins in Louisville, KY, on Friday,
March 3, and ends in the City of Brotherly Love on Record Store Day, Saturday, April 22. A
liquid soundtrack for the harmonious occasion and the official beer of Record Store Day, Beer to
Drink Music To ’17, began shipping nationwide on February 1, 2017.
A melodic inspired brew, Beer to Drink Music To ’17, features an ensemble of hibiscus flowers
and kiwi juice, with strong citrus fruit aromas, hints of grapefruit and floral notes, with a crisp,
dry finish. Pinkish-red with a white head and clocking in at 6.8% ABV, this light bodied,
quenching mashup is intended to perfectly intermingle and complement the Sony and Dogfish
Head record collaboration, Music To Drink Beer To, Vol. 3. Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head
founder and president, and Adam Block, Sony Music Legacy Recordings president, selected a
collection of their favorite legendary tracks while chatting all things vintage vinyl and craft beer.
“The enjoyment of a beautiful beer with an amazing album at the same time is an exponentially
awesome experience,” says Calagione. The vinyl compilation will be released on Record Store
Day at participating stores.
“I fell in love with music at the same time I fell in love with beer, and in an increasingly digital
age, vinyl records provide a deep, tangible connection to music that reverberates with craft beer
fans”, says Calagione. Good tunes and great beer are at the heart of Dogfish as Sam composed a
musically inspired series of brews with artists like Miles Davis, Deltron 3030, The Grateful Dead,
Pearl Jam and Guided by Voices. “Our brewery has been obsessed with music since the day we
opened”, says Calagione. “And we have enjoyed every opportunity to weave together the art of
brewing with our love of music, as often and meaningfully as we can.”
The Dogfish Head x Crosley Cruiser will visit 29 cities stopping at independent record stores
and craft beer bars to celebrate and spread appreciation for music, indie record stores, original
artwork, Crosley record players and off-centered beers. After the sun goes down, Dogfish Head
off-centered brews will be flowing and tunes will be jamming at stops along the tour. The
Dogfish Head x Crosley Cruiser city lineup includes Louisville, KY, Nashville, TN, Indianapolis,
IN, Chicago, IL, Madison, WI, Milwaukee, WI, Detroit, MI, Columbus, OH, Cincinnati, OH,
