(More) beer to drink music to!
As beer geeks with a music problem, we couldn't resist teaming up (once again!) with this legendary band on a brand-NEW beer, Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager!
Clocking in at 5.3% ABV, this brew is an easy drinking American Rice Lager brewed with carefully selected rice and sustainable Fonio grain from Africa, hopped with a mix of Lemondrop and Contessa hops, and brightened with lemongrass, lime and lemon peel. The resulting beer is crisp, clean and super-sessionable with a splash of citrus for a drinking experience reminiscent of sunshine and daydreams.
So go on and take a sip of this goodness that'll have you feeling like you're walking in the morning sunshine.

The good vibes keep rolling down to the ingredients
Fonio is one of the world’s oldest cultivated grains that's prized for thriving where other crops tap out. This tiny ancient grain grows fast, needs very little water, and flourishes in poor soil conditions without heavy fertilizers or intensive farming. All that adds up to one seriously low‑impact crop that’s gentle on the land and resilient in the face of a changing climate.
