Giant Jenga tournament, specialty brews and more precede Sept. 17 festival
The suds are rising for Dogfish Head’s Analog-A-Go-Go Festival at Bellevue State Park on Saturday, Sept. 17.
Join the momentum at the Analog-A-Go-Go Kickoff Party at Trolley Square Oyster House on Wednesday, Aug. 24, from 6-10 p.m. Participants will have chances to win tickets to Analog, along with Dogfish swag and other cool stuff. And it’s not a Dogfish party without rare and seasonal Dogfish brews on tap and specialty Dogfish craft cocktails.
“They have such a passion for unique, quality brews and we are thrilled to be featuring some of their hard-to-find and limited release editions here,” says general manager Erik Holzbaur.
The night will be kept appropriately off-centered with a giant Jenga tournament. For those interested in competing, email vanessa@trolleysquareoysterhouse.com before Aug. 12.
Six years ago, the Analog festival was born and has been held annually at Dogfish’s Milton brewery until now. This year, the festival is undergoing major changes “in celebration of all things indie craft,” Dogfish founder Sam Calagione says.
The biggest change is venue—from downstate to Bellevue State Park just outside Wilmington—to accommodate a lineup and crowds expected to be bigger than ever. Live music, a cask beer festival featuring 10-15 breweries, a craft spirit garden, a marketplace, and local and regional food will be featured. Bands include headliners Built to Spill, plus Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Talib Kweli, Ra Riot, Beach Slang, and Fiancé, bringing to Bellevue indie rock, New Orleans-style jazz, hip-hop, punk and experimental pop representative of the “off-centered” Dogfish brand.
Tickets to the party, which are limited and $10 each, are at kickoff.ticketleap.com. For more information, visit trolleysquareoysterhouse.com and analogagogo.com.
