Dogfish Head Miami

In honor of Record Store Day and Miami Beer Week, our team at Dogfish Head Miami is partnering with beloved Miami record store Sweat Records to host a day full of celebrations showcasing music, art and beer on Saturday, Apr. 23. As the Official Brewery of Record Store Day, our locations across the nation have previously brought together independent beer and independent record stores, collaborating with world renowned artists and bands including Jimmie Allen, Galaxie 500, Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam and the Miles Davis Estate.

This year, Dogfish Head Miami will join in the Record Store Day festivities, beginning at noon on Apr. 23, with the launch of a new, Sweat Records-inspired beer, Sweat?...Stout! and celebration of the vinyl release of Richie Hell's exclusive Record Store Day album, Gumbo Limbo Remixes. From 3-7 p.m., music, beer and art lovers alike can catch DJ DISCOSEXO on the turntables. The Record Store Day fun continues with a special performance by Richie Hell with live percussion at 8 p.m.

“There’s nothing quite like the full-sensory experience of enjoying an awesome beer while listening to an amazing album on vinyl,” says Dogfish Head founder and brewer Sam Calagione. “The enjoyment of a beautiful beer alongside an amazing album is an exponentially awesome experience, and we at Dogfish take every opportunity we can get to weave together the art of brewing and our love of music.”

Our partnership with Sweat Records spotlights local artists through the Sweat?...Stout! beer release and Richie Hell’s exclusive Record Store Day vinyl drop. The brightly-colored Sweat?...Stout! cans were designed by Francisca Oyhanarte to mirror the iconic album cover and vinyl design. Brewed with our friends at Sweat Records for Record Store Day, this tropical stout is inspired by the record store’s hometown, Little Haiti. This sessional and surprisingly refreshing stout is brewed with fair trade Haitian coffee beans, fresh-pressed Florida sugar cane juice and toasted coconut flakes. Fermented with lager yeast, this stout has a clean, crisp finish that will have anyone that imbibes spinning records all night long. The 16-ounce, four-pack cans will be available for purchase for $16. To add to the fun, the first 50 people that purchase a four-pack of Sweat?...Stout! will receive a free poster with art by Francisca Oyhanarte.

Brooklyn Bowl – Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Nashville, and Las Vegas

Music has been a part of Dogfish Head since before Dogfish Head. So, it’s a natural fit for a brewery that makes ‘Analog Beer for the Digital Age’ to be the Official Beer of Record Store Day!

To kick things off, join Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione and Carrie from Record Store Day on Friday, Apr. 22 at Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn for panel where they’ll chat all things music and beer. We’ll then roll into an amazing show by Handsome Boy Modeling School. Click here for details!
