Today's longread in the "startup stories" theme is about a topic near-and-dear to many of us -- craft brewing! This story focuses on the founding of Dogfish Head Brewing, which is one of the most popular and highly-regarded breweries in the U.S. Founder Sam Calagione built the brewery up from little more than a backroom operation to a national brand known for pushing the boundaries with "extreme beers" that have won a host of international awards. A great story probably best enjoyed with a great beer...cheers!
