How Victory, Dogfish Head, Yards, Flying Fish, and Iron Hill Breweries ignored common sense and changed Craft Beer.
Friday, July 16, 2010 at 9:45AM Bill Covaleski of Victory Brewing, Sam Calgione of Dogfish Head, Gene Muller of Flying Fish, Tom Kehoe of Yards, Mark Edelson of Iron Hill and Greg Koch of Stone brewing reminisce about the early days of Craft Brewing in the mid 90's when there was no market, no distribution and no money. Thank god we were smart enough to get this historical reunion on tape! Like their beers they'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, but rest-assured, you'll always come back for more.
If you're a fan of craft beer, brewing or just good old fashioned American entrepreneurism then you'll want to save this in the archives and share it with all the other beer lovers you know.
Highlight: Keep an ear open for Sam's only HR policy for the first decade of Dogfish Head's existence (6:00).
Bonus:
Don't miss the Class of '96's 'If I we're not a brewer' sketch.
