Behold ... the main event!
Music venue meets record fair meets beer festival
On Saturday, Nov. 8, our Milton Brewery will be transformed into a music venue meets record fair slash beer festival. We’ll be pouring 18+ samples of beer, spirits and cocktails while dropping the needle on three decades of off-centered goodness. And because no groove is complete without some music, local record stores are bringing their vinyl collections for you to flip, find, and take home.
We're also teaming up with our pals from Relix to brew an exclusive beer specifically for this event, Pan-Am-Jam-Band. You'll be able to sip the beer, meet the folks behind this incredible publication and grab a copy of their magazine.
So get ready to sip, snack & spin!

Event happenings
What’s a birthday bash without some killer live music? We’re turning up the volume at Analog-A-Birthday with a lineup that pays tribute to our roots and keeps the jam going strong:
- Live music by One & A Quarter from 12 - 1 p.m.
This high-energy ‘90s cover band is bringing the noise and the nostalgia in honor of our Dogfish beginnings back in that glorious decade. Expect throwback anthems, singalongs, and all the grunge-era goodness your flannel-loving heart desires. - Live music by Bushwick's Dead from 2 - 4 p.m.
This genre-blending jam band is ready to melt faces and move feet with improvisational magic and extended jams that'll have you swaying ‘til the sun goes down.
But that’s not all ... take a spin through our vinyl record music market, press your own custom T-shirt on the spot, and soak in all the off-centered goodness you’ve come to love from Dogfish Head.
