Sit down, grab a beer, and make yourself comfortable because this week I am going to steamroll you all with a shocker.

July 02, 2004

Beer aficionado Sam Calagione began now famous Dogfish Head Brewery nine years ago with the aid of three small kegs and the propane burners beneath them. Though difficult to brew in, these twelve-gallon barrels allowed young Dogfish Head to try virtually anything they wanted in regard to styles, recipes, and ingredients. The subjects of these experiments were the suds swilling vacationers of Delaware’s Rehobeth beach.
