From Dogfish Head:
As a team of goodness-nerds who pride ourselves on crafting “Analog Beer (& spirits!) for the Digital Age,” we’re throwing down a beer-centric jamboree celebrating all things analog! Analog-A-Go-Go is here for another year, and we’re bringing it back to its analog roots. Tickets are on sale now, and this is an off-centered festival you won’t want to miss!
We’re packing in a ton of goodness all weekend long! Here’s the top five things to know about this year’s festival.
1. INSANE LIVE MUSIC
We’ve got a live music line-up that will absolutely knock your socks off! For the first time ever, not only will we have live music at our coastal Delaware locations all weekend long, but we’ll also have some amazing bands playing live right at our Milton brewery during the event!
Schoolly D with Supreem Da Rezarekta
We’re starting the weekend off strong with Schoolly D with Supreem Da Rezarekta. Dubbed the “the forefather of gangsta rap," by none other than Ice-T himself, it’s safe to say that this Philadelphia-based artist has made a big name for himself and paved the way for others. Even if you haven't heard of Schoolly D, you've likely unknowingly heard his music. His 1985 single "P.S.K. 'What Does It Mean?,'" is recognized by many as the first gangsta rap song ever, and its influence is unmatched. The lyrics and flow influenced Ice-T's "6 'N the Morning" and Eazy-E's "Boyz-N-the-Hood," and the song’s beat, which Schoolly D also created, has been used dozens of times over rap tracks and songs from the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees ("Kiss Them for Me"), the Prodigy (including "Diesel Power," featuring Kool Keith), and Jennifer Lopez ("I'm Glad").
Check out this legend on the Brewpub stage on Friday night. AND, Schoolly D will be joining Sam at the VIP fire side chat on Saturday morning.
When: Friday, November 17th 9:00 p.m – 11:00 p.m
Where: Dogfish Head’s Brewings & Eats, 320 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
Huntingtons
Heavily influenced by the Ramones, this crew of punk rock fiends got their start jamming out to fast & fun pop tunes in Cliffy’s mom’s basement right here in Delaware! Heavily influenced by The Ramones, this band gained a cult-like following after touring across the US and even a few shows over seas. In the late 90s and early 2000s, they even played shows at CBGB’s in NYC with their hero, Joey Ramone. CBGB’s owner, Hilly Kristal, was quoted as saying they played Ramones better than the Ramones. They’ll be bringing their rocking sound directly to the Analog-A-Go-Go stage!
When: Analog A-Go-Go Saturday, November 18th 12:00 p.m
Where: Dogfish Head’s Craft Brewery, 6 Cannery Village Center, 6 Village Center Blvd, Milton, DE 19968
Yarn
Spinning together heartfelt bluegrass music with the spirit of rock & roll, Yarn is a Brooklyn-born band that’s bringing their unreal talent to the Analog-A-Go-Go stage! This band made their mark weaving together stories & music. They’ve shared the stage with superstars such as Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Railroad Earth, Marty Stuart, Allison Krauss, Leon Russell, Jim Lauderdale, Leftover Salmon, Amos Lee, The Lumineers and many more. Their music has landed them on the Grammy ballot 4 times, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts and more!
When: Analog A-Go-Go Saturday, November 18th 2:00 p.m
Where: Dogfish Head’s Craft Brewery, 6 Cannery Village Center, 6 Village Center Blvd, Milton, DE 19968

4. COLLABORATION FROM COAST-TO-COAST
Dogfish Head and Juniper Ridge have joined forces to fuse their distinct yet complementary artisanal distilling approaches to craft Walk With Wildness, a ready-to-drink bottled whiskey cocktail, as well as a full lineup of personal care products – a cologne, a room spray and an incense – boasting the same name. Each of the collaborative products provides a different interpretation of a shared set of parameters; each was made using the same ingredients and distilling technique to create a totally unique experience.
The scratch-made ready-to-drink bottled whiskey cocktail artfully blends the best of natural ingredients from both coasts by combining Dogfish Head’s Delaware-made spirits and California-forged herbs from Juniper Ridge. Dogfish Head’s Hull & Helm Whiskey is rested on Delmarva beach plums, infused with White Sage Mint Tea and rounded off with a touch of sweet cherry juice. Walk with Wildness (32.5% ABV), the cocktail, is best enjoyed over ice or neat to truly feel the forest and taste the coast. Available at Analog-A-Go-Go for sampling and in bottles to-go at Dogfish Head’s Milton Tasting Room & Kitchen, while supplies last.
The Walk With Wildness lineup of personal care products embraces the fusion of Dogfish Head's Delaware-made spirits and California botanicals. Using a Let’s Get Lost whiskey barrel from Dogfish Head that also aged its Mellowdious Gin, Juniper Ridge distilled the barrel wood to release its essence and then amped up the aroma with their own blend of botanicals, creating a scent that perfectly captures the essence of both coasts.
All of this goodness will be releasing just in time for the festival! Grab one of each while you’re there.
5. GET THOSE CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING
At this year’s Analog-A-Go-Go, Dogfish Head is also celebrating the fourth and final installment of its 2023 Benevolence Beer Series, brewed in partnership with the Developing Artist Collaboration (DAC), a local non-profit that provides artists with career development, peer connection, and physical spaces to build elevated creative lifestyles. DAC will showcase an art installation made of beer cans, each individually decorated by members of the local community at Dogfish Head’s Rehoboth Brewpub.
The beer itself, Creative Juices (5.8% ABV), is a fruited kettle sour brewed with pomegranate, green tea, ginseng and ginger, and folks attending Analog-A-Go-Go can expect to see it as one of the many samples available at the festival.
So, dial your pals up on your corded phone, set the alarm on your analog clock, dust-off your record player & hop on down to our Milton brewery for a fest that you don’t want to miss!
