We're music junkies here at Dogfish Head, and one of our favorite times of year is when the Firefly Music Festival rolls through our neck of the woods. And guess who just happens to be the official craft beer of Firefly?
To celebrate this growing East Coast extravaganza, we've brewed up Firefly Ale, a sessionable pale ale that we like to think is a highlight for more than a few festival-goers.
Firefly is an English-style pale ale brewed with Marris Otter barley and English heritage hops (because the Sex Pistols invented punk rock). To add a fruity and citrusy aroma, there’s a late addition of American Calypso hops (because the Ramones invented punk rock).
This very approachable balance of hops and grain can be found at our pop-up pub at Firefly and on the road at some of our favorite beer-and-music venues. Don't miss it!

Slight haze on pale. Tap mad mex. Barely any smell. Odd unique old ale leather feel with unknown spices. Has some of that old country taste in there.

Tap at Rehoboth brewpub. Mild aroma and taste. Mildness all around. A good session brew id imagine. Light amber delicate lacing. A little fruitiness on the sniff.

On tap at the brewpub. It’s a clear, pale golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is quite fruity, but weak, with some citrus notes and a touch of pale malts. Some bitterness in the flavor, it’s subtle and fruity, with some citrus and pale malts. Dry, medium bodied and soft on the palate, medium length finish. Sure a decent one, but a tad boring in this line-up. 150621

Draft at Holy Hound. Hazy pale yellow color, huge white head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of black pepper and biscuit dough (I thought my notes said burnt dog, but I figured it out). Taste is crisp, clan peppery hay.
