MILTON, Del., April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In celebration of its 10th consecutive year as the “Official Beer of Record Store Day,” Dogfish Head joins forces with Grateful Dead to launch a vinyl compilation album, which will be available in participating independently owned record stores from coast-to-coast beginning on Record Store Day, Saturday, April 12. The record, titled ON A BACK PORCH VOL. 1, consists of live versions of classic Grateful Dead tunes, all thoughtfully compiled from the band’s archives by Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione, and Grateful Dead Archivist & Legacy Manager, David Lemieux. “Spanning the years 1969, 1973, 1977, 1989, and 1991, ON A BACK PORCH, VOL 1 touches upon all eras of Grateful Dead music, and features classics such as ‘Eyes Of The World,’ ‘Here Comes Sunshine,’ and rarer cuts including ‘Easy Wind,’ and ‘Big Railroad Blues,’” said Lemieux. “Mastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer, David Glasser at Airshow Mastering, ON A BACK PORCH VOL. 1 will get you in the mood for sipping your favorite Dogfish Head beer on a back porch in July, or any of the other 11 months of the year.” Designed to complement back-porch beer-sipping, ON A BACK PORCH VOL 1 best pairs with Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead’s latest collaborative beer, Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. Clocking in at 5.3% ABV, this year-round offering is a refreshing, light-bodied pale ale brewed with Kernza® perennial grains from The Land Institute*, granola, and heaps of good karma. The addition of El Dorado and Azacca hops brings waves of pineapple, mango and passion fruit notes for a vibrant tapestry of alluring aromas and flavors. Available from coast-to-coast, on draft and shelves, in 6pk/12oz cans and single-serve 19.2oz cans. Track some down using Dogfish Head’s Fish Finder. “As a self-proclaimed ‘beer geek with a music problem,’ Record Store Day has always been one of my favorite days of the year,” said Calagione. “And this year, I get to celebrate one of my favorite days by partnering with Grateful Dead on a beautiful beer and with David Lemieux on a wonderful album!” A highly anticipated annual holiday, Record Store Day is a celebration of the culture of independently owned record stores, and the important roles those stores play in their respective communities.

In 1965, an entire generation was linked together by common ideals, gathering by the hundreds and thousands. This movement created a seamless connection between the band and its fans. As the band toured, Dead Heads would follow. Not because it was a part of popular culture but because it is a true counterculture that exists to this very day-one that earnestly believes in the value of its beliefs. By 1995, the Grateful Dead had attracted the most concertgoers in the history of the music business, and today remains one of the all-time leaders in concert ticket sales. Eventually, the caravan evolved into a community with various artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs supplying a growing demand for merchandise that connected them to the music. Today, the connection is as strong as ever, and their final tally of 2,318 total concerts remains a world record. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and received a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. In 2024, the Grateful Dead celebrated their 62nd Top 40 album on the Billboard chart, a feat no other artist has achieved, and commemorated in the 47th class of the Kennedy Center Honorees. The Grateful Dead were the 2025 MusiCares Persons of the Year honored at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards.
