We’re less than a month away from vinyl’s biggest day of the year, and we’ve put together a lineup of Record Store Day celebrations that’s sure to make your head spin! Between our Milton brewery Tasting Room, Brewings & Eats, Chesapeake & Maine and the Dogfish Inn, we’ve got a little something for everyone on Saturday, Apr. 21. Check it…

Record Store Day Events by Location -

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton
We’ll be kicking off our Record Store Day festivities in the Tasting Room on Saturday, April 21 at 11 a.m. with a 200 (750ml) bottle release of Bourbon Barrel-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout. Available while supplies last, bottles are priced at $30 each and will be sold on a first come, first served basis – limited to two bottles per person. The beer will also be on tap in the Tasting Room while supplies last.

Bourbon Barrel-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout enhances the flavors and adds to the complexity of fan favorite, World Wide Stout. After being aged in Palo Santo barrels with Madagascar vanilla beans for one month, the brew is transferred into empty bourbon barrels where it’s aged for an additional six months. Clocking in at 18.4% ABV, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout is smooth with velvety notes of toasted vanilla and roasted malt, and ages with the best of them.

After the bottle release, folks are encouraged to stick around for even more Record Store Day merriment. DJs will be spinning tunes all day and there’ll be a ton of awesome Record Store Day-themed giveaways, including:

- Flaming Lips prize packs (Flaming Lips turntable mat and T-shirt, and a Dragons & YumYums beer label signed by the Flaming Lips)
- Dogfish Head + Record Store Day prize packs (Dogfish Head hat and T-shirt, and a Record Store Day bottle opener and pint glasses)
- Copies of ‘Music to Drink Beer and Make Love To’ (Dogfish Head’s Record Store Day vinyl collaboration with Sony Legacy Music)
- Flaming Lips T-shirts
- And – the star of the show – a Dragons & YumYums beer-filled copy of The Flaming Lips limited-edition vinyl, ‘The Story of Yum Yum and Dragon'

Winners will be chosen throughout the day, with the exclusive beer-filled record being given away at 4:30 p.m. – must be present to win!
