About this episode

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum interview Sam Calagione, co-founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, discussing the brewery's history and innovations.

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Sam Calagione, co-founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Opened in 1995 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Dogfish Head began as the smallest commercial brewery in the United States and grew into one of the most celebrated and innovative craft breweries in the country. Dogfish Head is based in Delaware with a brewpub and distillery, a seafood restaurant, a harbor-front beverage-themed motel, and a production brewery and tasting room in Milton. Sam served as CEO until the brewery's merger with Boston Beer Company in July 2019, and his innovative style has earned him a James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine, Spirits, or Beer Professional. He is also the author of five books including Brewing Up a Business and Off-Centered Leadership. https://www.dogfish.com/ @DogfishHead _____________________________________________ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!: The Beer Accountant: https://www.paddymaccpa.com/brewerysolutions Patrick McDonald Email: pmcdonald@paddymaccpa.com 267-566-4077 - Licensed CPA Norris McLaughlin P.A. https://norrismclaughlin.com/ted-zeller Ted Zeller - Epi 91 Email: tzeller@norris-law.com (484) 765-2220 - Liquor Attorney Cascade…
