Dogfish Head Craft Brewery to Celebrate Record Store Day with Launch of Catchy Chorus, New Music-Themed Beer

MILTON, Del., March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Official Beer of Record Store Day for eight consecutive years, Dogfish Head will celebrate this year's holiday, slated for Saturday, April 22, with the release of a new, music-themed beer, Catchy Chorus. Brewed in collaboration with Record Store Day, an organization dedicated to showcasing the culture of independently owned record stores, Catchy Chorus is a double dry-hopped double IPA inspired by the four "magic chords" (E, B, C#m & A) that make up many of the world's most popular melodies.

Blending Eureka, Bravo, Calypso and Azacca hops, Catchy Chorus comes together in hop and grain harmony to build an unforgettable sensory song. Clocking in at 9.0% ABV, this symphonic sipper is bursting with citrusy and tropical aromas and flavors. Catchy Chorus is now making its way to taps and shelves in 4pk/16oz cans in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Track some down using Dogfish Head's Fish Finder. 

"As a bunch of beer geeks with music problems, Record Store Day is always one of our favorite days of the year, here at Dogfish Head," said Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer, Sam Calagione. "We are honored to continue our partnership with Record Store Day, working alongside them to bring together independent beer and independent music stores, and what better way to do just that than by brewing a beer rooted in the notes that collectively create so many top hits!" 

To complement the launch of Catchy Chorus, Dogfish Head is teaming up Brooklyn Bowl to host Record Store Day-themed events in select cities across the country.
