Thanks to the nonsense that is real life, we’re a little late with this review of a beer that was crafted for Record Store Day which happened on April 22, 2023. Dogfish Head, the Official Beer of Record Store Day for the past eight years, brewed up a beer called Catchy Chorus.

Here’s a bit more information about this beer taken directly from a recent press release:

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!”

With that many hops used to make one beer, the first words that popped into our heads was “hop dare”. Will this beer be an aggressive, hoppy assault on our palates, or has Dogfish Head done it again and crafted a well-balanced and flavorful sipper? Click play on the following video to find out!
