Sam Calagione has been focused on brewing beers with culinary ingredients since 1995 when Dogfish
Head first opened as the smallest craft brewery in America. Today, Dogfish has grown into a 400+ person
company and is one of the most recognized breweries in the country. Dogfish Head is based in Delaware
with Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, an off-centered brewpub and distillery, Chesapeake & Maine, a
geographically enamored seafood restaurant with a James Beard nominated cocktail program, Dogfish
Inn, a harbor-front beverage-themed motel and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, a production brewery and
distillery featuring a Tasting Room & Kitchen. Dogfish currently sells beers, spirits, and canned cocktails
across the U.S. In July 2019, Dogfish Head proudly merged with the Boston Beer Company. Sam’s
innovative style and collaborative spirit has earned him a reputation as one of the industry’s most
adventurous entrepreneurs and brewers. Sam has authored four books and was named the James Beard
Foundation’s Outstanding Wine, Spirits, or Beer Professional in 2017. Sam, Mariah, and their family
reside in coastal Delaware.
