For the latest entry in our Six Pack Series, we’re matching six musical artists with six beers. From classic rock to punk rock and from IPAs to a Gose, we’re turning this six pack up to 11! I present to you a band and a beer.
Green Day and Tree House Brewing’s Green
Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famers? Opening for the Super Bowl? Slacker punks no more! It’s only fitting to pair Green Day with Tree House Brewing, one of the nation’s finest breweries. To represent this band, let’s have a “Green” IPA. “When I Come Around,” there better be Green in the fridge; if not, I’ll become a “Basket Case”!
The Zombies and 3 Floyds Zombie Dust
It’s the time of the season for …. Zombie Dust! This full-bodied and hoppy pale ale is the perfect accompaniment even when “She’s Not There.” And if she is, and is reaching for your last Zombie Dust, “Tell Her No”!
Ryan Adams and Samuel Adams’ Octoberfest
The Adams connection runs deep here. From Sam to Ryan. Although Sam Adams is from Boston, it’s available nationwide, even in “New York, New York.” Since this beer only comes around once a year, crack it open and say, “Damn, Sam.”
The Rolling Stones and Stone IPA
Nothing “Starts Me Up” like a Stone IPA! It’s the perfect West Coast IPA, whether out surfing or chasing “Wild Horses.” Every sip brings pure “Satisfaction.”
Lost City Angels and Lost Nation’s Gose
I’ve always loved Lost Nation’s Gose. On my last few trips up north, I couldn’t find this beer on the shelves. During my last visit, “Tonight’s the Night” and “Today’s the Day” thatI found the Gose! It’s a lighter beer, brewed with coriander and sea salt. I can’t wait to get my “Lips” on this beer!
The Grateful Dead and Dogfish Head’s Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale
Well, this is just a lay-up. Last year, Dogfish Head literally released a Grateful Dead pale ale. It’s great too. It scratches that juicy itch while staying highly sessionable. When I heard this beer was released, I was “Truckin’” over to my local packie to pick some up. I’m just worried that Casey Jones bought the last six-pack! If he does, I’ll keep searching “Til the Morning Comes.”
Exploring these six bands and these six beers will keep you humming all day! From the Dead to Green Day, let these artists be the soundtrack to your next beer.
