And after celebrating more than 60 years in music, the Grateful Dead\u2019s longtime partnership with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is bearing even more fruit with a new lager collaboration.<\/p>\n \n\tAvailable year-round nationwide, Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager<\/a> is an American Rice Lager that\u2019s described as a \u201ccrisp, clean and super-sessionable with a splash of citrus for a drinking experience reminiscent of sunshine and daydreams,\u201d according to the brewery. It\u2019s made from rice and sustainable African Fonio grain, as it\u2019s hopped with a blend of Lemondrop and Contessa hops, as well as features lemongrass, lime and lemon peel for brightness.<\/p>\n \n\tThe beer itself is bright, flavorful and ideal on a summer day with a crisp and clean finish, as well as notes of lemon and lemongrass.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFans of the Grateful Dead are totally engrained in its culture and can easily identify when something doesn\u2019t fit seamlessly with the band\u2019s ethos,\u201d says David Lemieux, the Grateful Dead\u2019s archivist & legacy manager, in a press release<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s Dogfish and the Dead\u2019s shared values of creativity and nonconformity, and their laser focuses on remaining true to themselves that has made this partnership so successful.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tGrateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager, which is 5.3% ABV (Alcohol by Volume), isn\u2019t the band\u2019s only collaboration with Dogfish Head. Last year, the band and brewery partnered with the fan-favorite Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale<\/a>, a light and breezy pale ale that was Dogfish Head\u2019s most successful launch to date.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFans felt the genuine connection between our brands with Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale and I\u2019m certain they will with Grateful Dead Citrus Daydream Lager, too,\u201d continues Lemieux.<\/p>\n \n\t\tDOGFISH HEAD X GRATEFUL DEAD\t<\/p>\n \n![\"Dogfish](\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Dogfish-Head-Grateful-Dead-Dead-Citrus-Daydream-Lager-BB-Embed.jpg?w=942&h=623&crop=1\")
