Dogfish Head–Firefly Ale Hitting Taps Now

From Dogfish Head:

Hello there. In the run-up to the East Coast’s premier music Festival, Dogfish Head’s Firefly Ale is hitting taps around the mid-Atlantic.

Firefly Ale, a 5% ABV English-style pale ale, will first be flowing this week at the Craft Brewers Conference in Washington, D.C. From there, you’ll be able to get a taste at two free shows at Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, Del., and at our vinyl and cask-beer fest Analog-A-Go-Go.

Finally, Firefly Ale, along with half a dozen other off-centered ales, will be available at The Brewery presented by Dogfish Head at Firefly Music Festival.
