Brewery Facts
- Dogfish Head was founded in 1995 in Rehoboth Beach, DE by a husband and wife team, Sam and Mariah Calagione.
- The brewery is named for a geographical formation in coastal Maine where Calagione spent summers as a kid.
- Once the smallest craft brewery in the US, Dogfish Head rose to become the 13th largest brewer in the US before being acquired by Boston Beer in 2019.
- The partnership with Boston Beer was first discussed owner-to-owner between Calagione and Jim Koch at the Beer Advocate Extreme Beer Festival; the two felt the brands had a natural affinity.
- Dogfish Head is beloved among craft beer enthusiasts for being one of the earliest adopters of “extreme” brewing; making ultra-hoppy IPAs and experimenting with , unusual ingredients well ahead of their time.
