April is ON and American craft brewers are welcoming the warmer weather with an interesting roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around.
Dogfish Head & Grateful Dead Collaborate In 2025 (Milton, DE) – Continuing a decade long partnership with the Grateful Dead that began in 2013 with the release of American Beauty in 750ml bottles, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery has announced its latest collaboration with the legendary band.
Brewed with Kernza® perennial grains from The Land Institute, granola and heaps of good karma, Dogfish Head / Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale is a 5.3% light-bodied refresher that will be available all year.
“As a beer geek with a music problem, few things in life are as sensorially sensational as enjoying a great beer while simultaneously listening to some great music,” said Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione….
“In 2025, Dogfish Head is turning 30, and my favorite band of all time, Grateful Dead, is celebrating its 60th anniversary. With its layered, nuanced flavors of tropical hops complemented by its malty body, our Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale is as compelling and joyful as the band’s music itself.”

Blonde Ambition (Dallas, TX) – Lakewood Brewing has a new addition to their popular Seduction Series, a line of beers inspired by the family-owned brewery’s legendary Temptress, the top-selling craft stout in Texas.
Texas blondes have a reputation the world over, and Lakewood Temptress Blonde is no exception, it’s an uber-inventive take on the stout concept that was crafted with warm-weather drinking in mind.
“Temptress Blonde is a beer for the senses,” said Wim Bens, founder and president of Lakewood Brewing Co. “A Golden Stout is designed to make you do a double take. Its bright golden hue deceptively disguises traditional stout flavors—vanilla, coffee (supplied by LDU Coffee), and malt sweetness. But don’t be fooled by its lighter color—Temptress Blonde boasts an impressive 9.1% ABV.”
