my co-worker Sophie pointed this article in the New Yorker out to me recently. while it initially appears to be an article about “extreme beer”, it’s more of an excellent writeup on the history of Dogfish Head and Sam Calagione. even if you’ve read Sam’s book, this article provides an alternate view into the psyche of Sam and the process that goes into brewing up a radical beer. the article is a long, but if you’re interested in beer and brewing, you’ll likely not notice — it’s an engaging read and well worth the time.

It is a long read, but definitely worth the length. Very interesting insights into the world of dogfish head and craft brewing. Thanks for sharing.
Interestingly, despite my love of many of the dogfish head beers, I still found myself agreeing with the brooklyne brewing company philosophies more.
