The Flaming Lips! is the latest in Dogfish’s 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 Sam Calagione, CEO/founder, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. “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.”
Dragons & YumYums will be a lip smackingly tart pale ale clocking in at 6.5% ABV, Dogfish Head says. This intensely tropical yet subtlety bitter ale is brewed with a combination of dragonfruit, yumberry, passionfruit, pear juice and black carrot juice providing an explosion of fruit in every sip.
Acclaimed for their elaborate, over-the-top live shows, Flaming Lips’ sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, while lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles. “The Flaming Lips are one of the most innovative and collaborative bands of all time and Dogfish shares a similarly playful and adventurous point of view,” says Calagione. “Their art is a full-on otherworldly sensory experience and we strive to create that same intense sensational experience for craft beer drinkers in the development of our liquid art.”
