CREEM MAGAZINE
Yes, THAT Creem Magazine, as in 'America's Only Rock n’ Roll Magazine’ is coming to Analog-A-Go-Go!! Born in 1969 in Detroit, this raw, unfiltered, unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll magazine ushered in a new era of raucous, participatory journalism. For decades, they broke barriers, rattled cages, and connected people to music in a way that has never been replicated, and after a 33-year hiatus, they’ve returned to bring the focus of music journalism back where it belongs — on the fans.
We teamed up with Creem Magazine to bring their mascot and icon of the rock underground, Boy Howdy!, to life ... as a beer! The folks from Creem will be on-site selling merch and copies of their magazine, alongside pours of their beer.
MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY
We’re so excited to be teaming up with the Morrison Hotel Gallery out of NYC for this year’s Analog-A-Go-Go!! As the world leader in fine arts music photography, the Morrison Hotel Gallery represents over 125 of the most highly acclaimed music photographers out there. Their shots have made an indelible mark on music culture by forever capturing an emotional connection to the music that resonates with us all.
The gallery will be on-site selling some stunning prints of musical greatness, while also offering pours of their collaborative spirit with us, Old Fashioned Rock n’ Roll.

Breweries
At this year's festival, you'll have the freedom to sample the beers you're interested in. Instead of using a predetermined sample card like we've done in the past, you'll use drink tickets to get as much, or as little, of any beer as you’d like. PLUS, we'll have select beers available to purchase as full pours, too!
Dogfish Head
Oak-Aged Black & Blue - 10% ABV
Our brash and boisterous Belgian-Style Ale Brewed with blackberries and blueberries to bring the beautiful bouquet of a Burgundian Beaujolaos then borne into foeders, blooming bit by bit into a blissful blend of berries and beneficient breaths of oak.
Boy Howdy! Creem Ale - 5.5% ABV
In collaboration with
CREEM Magazine, we brewed an unfiltered American Cream Ale (duh!) that celebrates our mutual love of all-things rock 'n' roll. Featuring organic corn and Michigan-grown hops, a nod to CREEM's Detroit roots, the brew was split and fermented separately with lager and ale yeasts. We got a power-trio of 2 fermentations and a microbiome, so kick out the jams, beer drinker! Boy Howdy! That's good!
Smooth Jamz - 6% ABV
We are harkening back to our analog roots and will be pouring a cask of Jamaican Export Stout. It is brewed with Strata Hops and a yeast that throws a lot of strawberry and stone fruit notes
Piercing Pils - 6% ABV
Our PEARY good Czech Style Pilsner was brewed with a white pear tea and pear juice, resulting in a complexity that pierces right through the spicy Czech Saaz hops of this pils.
The Pain Relieva - 6% ABV
Fruited sour inspired by the Painkiller cocktail, brewed with pineapple, Cara Cara orange, toasted coconut and a dash of nutmeg
Sah’Tea - 9% ABV
This Ancient Ale is a modern take on a 9th-century Finnish beer, brewed with rye malts and lautered it through juniper needles and berries. We then caramelized the wort over white-hot river rocks and added black tea and chai masala to get a complex yet quaffable blend of light spices and fruity esters with notes of pine, caramel and bready malts.
Old Fashioned Rock n' Roll Cocktail - 27.5% ABV
We teamed up with our pals at the incredible
Morrison Hotel Gallery to create a ready-to-pour spirit, exclusively for Analog-A-Go-Go! Clocking in at 27.5%, Old Fashioned Rock n’ Roll has the orange zest, classic bitters and sweetness from rock candy that you dream of in your old fashions. We do, indeed, like that old fashioned rock and roll!
Dewey Beer Co.
Loud Print IPA - 8% ABV
Brewed with Citra, Simcoe Cryo & Nelson Sauv, we’ll have more info on this beer soon!
Thrills Fresca - 5% ABV
The Thrills you know and love, with hibiscus, strawberries, mango and watermelon.
Angel City
Srirachelada - 4% ABV
Like a Michelada, but with Sriracha (as if a Michelada wasn’t good enough already!). This ale was brewed with the brines of banana peppers, clamato juice, Sriracha chili sauce, worchestershire and lime juice. The result is a slightly spicy ale, with a touch of salt and lime.
Juniper Bay Mandelo - 7.3% ABV
Who doesn’t love a sour with a little hint of herbs?? Brewed with the botanicals of Juniper berries, bay leaves and Mandelo (a mandarin and pomelo hybrid), this sour was barrel-aged for 10 months to simulate a London-style gin with a little extra tartness.
The Veil
yellowferrari3 - 8% ABV
This DIPA was brewed and triple dry-hopped with the freshest Galaxy and El Dorado, leaving mouthwatering impressions of lemon, yellow starbursts, and soft melon.
Lord Whangdoodle Churro Chupacabra - 11.5% ABV**
A churro beer?? Are you kidding me?! This Imperial Milk Stout was aged in Maple, Heaven Hill, Utopias, and Apple Brandy Barrels for 33 months and then conditioned with fried churros, Vietnamese cinnamon and vanilla from Peru and Madagascar. We hope you bring your sweet tooth!
Angry Orchard
Edu - 6.9% ABV
A tart, funky, and complex cider made from bittersweet and sharp apples, taking its cues from traditional Spanish cider makers. Spontaneously fermented and aged in oak foeders.
Bud Break - 7.1% ABV
Bud Break is blended across multiple vintages utilizing culinary and bittersharp fruit. You’ll get notes of apple flesh, pear juice, and melon on the palate and aromas of honeysuckle and lavender.
One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Minutes - 5.4% ABV
Semi-dry cider steeped with Mosaic hops from Dogfish Head with apple skin and melon flavors with hop aromatics. Still gluten free!
Other Half Brewing
Have A Juicy Day! - 7% ABV
A juicy tropical IPA hopped with our selected lots of Citra, Citra Incognito, Nelson Sauvin, Kohatu, Motueka and Centennial.
BA Snowbirds 7 ( Almond topped molasses maple banana ice cream) - 13.6% ABV**
We've done a number of Snowbirds variants over the years but this has to be our favorite. In addition to Snowbirds usual marcona almond, coconut, and cacao nibs we also add maple, molasses, wild thai bananas and some milk sugar. Very decadent. Aged in a mix of 14-22 month bourbon barrels.
** some samples may be 2 tickets due to higher ABV
