Dogfish Head Brewery Mentioned in TIME
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Our client Dogfish Head Brewery located in Milton, Delaware was mentioned in an article on TIME this weekend. Here’s an snippet:
It is uncertain how fast craft beers will continue to grow, but Herz said the indicators are good. After a shakeout in the mid 1990s, the nation’s remaining 1,400 craft brewers have a stronger hold on shelf space and restaurant menus. Anheuser-Busch and Coors are making their own line of full-flavored beers. And the Brewers Association’s book “Start Your Own Brewery” has sold more than 1,000 copies. “A brewery in every town is not so crazy to think about in the future,” she said. “It all goes back to the movement of consuming products that are locally produced.
“Who would have ever thought that Denver, Colo., would become the Napa Valley of beer?” she said. More than 60 breweries lie within in a 100-mile radius of Denver.
Their small size gives craft brewers the freedom to explore the outer limits of beer, and they are being rewarded by consumers who value good flavor, said Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton, Del.
“This hasn’t happened because of some half-billion dollar advertising campaign on behalf of the big brewers,” he said. “It’s truly the consumer becoming self-educated.
“It’s a kind of a blue-collar connoisseurship. Anybody can afford to buy the world’s best beers. But if you wanted to buy a bottle of the world’s best wine, you’d have to spend thousands of dollars.”
Look for a brand new feature rich custom website for Dogfish Head Brewery this Fall. Meanwhile head to downtown Rehoboth Beach, DE and enjoy food and drink at the Brewpub, or take a tour in their Milton facility.
