Popular 90s rock band Dave Matthew's Band is now being immortalized in the form of a craft beer called 'Warehouse Pils.' Designed to commemorate the band's 25th anniversary, the new brew gives fans a perfect way to show their support for the American rockers.
The tribute beer was created by a craft brewer called Starr Hill Brewery, which resides in the band's hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia. The name Warehouse Pils comes from the title of the band's official fan club 'Warehouse.' The beer itself is a dry-hopped German Pilsner that boats a mild hop flavor and a clean malt finish. According to Starr Hill Brewery, the beer is "perfect for those warm spring and summer days, as well as enjoying with your favorite DMB song!"
