Rock on! Dogfish Head’s Firefly Ale

3 Jul

I’m all about good music and a good brew so naturally I thought this was pretty sweet.

 

From the Shanken News Daily:

“Milton, Delaware-based Dogfish Head Brewery has created a limited edition beer to serve at this month’s inaugural Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware. Dogfish Head’s Firefly Ale is an English-style Pale Ale brewed with Marris Otter barley and English heritage hops, as well as a late addition of American Calypso hops. The 5%-abv offering will be available on tap at the festival alongside six additional varieties of Dogfish Head brews. Featuring musical acts such as The Killers, The Black Keys and John Legend, the Firefly Music Festival will run from July 20-22.”

Video: Where’s The Party? presented by Carlsberg featuring Axwell

Thanks to the fine folks at Carlsberg, beer isn’t the only reason why you should love them.  Check out this killer video from their Where’s The Party? promotion from this past summer featuring Axwell.  Sick video and I’m sure like me, you’ll want to be there next year.  Carlsberg and Axwell teamed up to visit Gothenburg, Stockholm, Bastad and Visby as part of the quest to bring a slice of Miami and Ibiza to Sweden.

Reel Big Fish & Goldfinger – 11 7 10 – House of Blues – Las Vegas

So last night I went to see Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger. Yes that is not a typo, a group of us decided to relive our youth.  And you know what, it was worth the $31 (we all got a good laugh remembering how it use to cost like $8 to see these guys).

Goldfinger put on one heck of a performance and even had Branden Steineckert from Rancid sitting in on drums. Really though I was excited for Reel Big Fish and the first song out of the shoot, “Sellout.” I thought how awesome that the band plays the song their probably most recognized for first!  That definitely set the tone for their performance and as the show went on I started to remember a whole bunch of the songs that I have not heard in easily a decade.  Closing with “Beer” was pretty much a given and definitely had the crowd still rip-roaring ready to rock out and leave on a high note.  Overall it was a far better show than I was expecting and beat spending a Sunday night on the couch.
