Firefly Music Festival, the east coast’s largest music and camping festival, and Dogfish Head, announced the festival debut of a brand new Firefly Ale featuring ingredients chosen by fans.
The official craft beer of the festival since 2012, the Firefly Ale mashup is brewed with guava puree and coconut flower nectar, and is full of tropical fruit notes with a subtle sweetness, a release stated.
During the week of March 12, the two companies looked to Firefly Music Festival supporters to help create a fan-curated twist to Firefly Ale.
With a pale ale as the base, supporters could choose between grapefruit, yuzu or guava to include as the new ingredient for the 2018 remix of Firefly Ale which will be available on draft in the Dogfish Head location at the Firefly Music Festival in June.
Firefly and Dogfish have been partners since 2012, the inaugural year of the festival.
This year the brewery will feature new enhancements to the Dogfish tent, including a ‘SeaQuench Ale Shade Station’ for attendees who want to enjoy a cold beverage, a Dogfish merchandise shop, and two can bars with 19.2oz cans of 60 Minute IPA and SeaQuench Ale.
The brewery will also have a number of its brews available at the Firefly site near the Dover Downs complex.
Firefly Music Festival returns to The Woodlands for the seventh year June 14 – 17.
Along with headliners Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Arctic Monkeys, and The Killers, the lineup also features ODESZA, Lil Wayne, Logic, Martin Garrix, SZA, alt-J, Portugal. The Man, Foster the People, MGMT, Mike D (DJ Set) and others.
Festival passes and lodging options are currently on sale through FireflyFestival.com.
