Kernza® Featured in New Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead Beer

The Delaware-based brewery Dogfish Head partnered with the Grateful Dead on their new Juicy Pale Ale, a beer brewed with Kernza perennial grain, granola, and El Dorado and Azacca hops. This beer is now available at retailers nationwide, making it one of the most widely available products in the US containing Kernza. The Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale also builds on the significant momentum Kernza is seeing in the craft brewing industry, as innovative brewers continue to incorporate the perennial grain in new products for its unique flavor and environmental benefits, contributing to an increasing level of Kernza adoption in the marketplace.

This beer is not the first by Dogfish Head to use Kernza—the brewery also released their Kernza® Pils in collaboration with Patagonia Provisions in 2022 in an effort to scale regenerative farming practices. To see where to purchase the new Juicy Pale Ale at a store near you, head to the beer tracker on Dogfish Head’s website, select “Dogfish Head x Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale” in the “style” dropdown menu, and enter your city or zip code.
