What is your favorite thing about Delaware? “I love how close we are to four major metros and yet, how close we also are to the beauty of maritime nature.”
As the head of Delaware’s most successful brewery, the story of Sam Calagione’s rise in the local business world has been well-told since he founded the off-centered Dogfish Head Craft Brewery company with his wife, Mariah, in 1995. He’s still actively involved in the doings of Dogfish, which is now a Boston Beer Company brand, most notably by making creative recipes for all kinds of beverages with his thousands of coworkers. Their brand has expanded to major brick-and-mortar presences in Rehoboth Beach and Milton.
