Psssst!
Have you heard about Sam’s new book?
You know SAM! Sam Calgione, founder and behemoth brain behind Dogfish Head Craft Brewery!
Sam and Dogfish Head have gained such a strong reputation among craft breweries that long queues piled 4-people-deep wait with dogged determination to feast on delectable cuisine and quaff the off-centered beers at their Delaware beach spot, Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats, Rehoboth Beach. The new brewery at Cannery Village in Milton, Delaware is another sign of the poppin’ success brought to center stage by the folks at Dogfish Head, and they are pleased to show-it-off in brewery tours every Friday at 3 p.m..
Calagione has gone from “OH MY GOD! WHAT AM I DOING?” to developing saavy success that grew out of a passion for brewing and a dedication to off-centered beer lovers. His passion is so intense that it spills out of his heart and into the pages of his book, where it can be shared with other passionate entrepreneurs.
Brewing Up a Business – Adventures in Entrepreneurship from the Founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is a mighty tale of adventure. From the first few pages that document a feisty teenager bestowed with “ejection-seat honors” from Northfield Mt. Hermon Prep School through a young man’s decisive commitment to change the laws of Delaware, and into the annals of brewing history where he established a brand, grew an idea and walked into the halls of leadership, this fascinating account is a master game-plan for any entrepreneur in his or her quest for business knowledge.
The discovery of the uniqueness that IS Dogfish Head was the result of an evolution of inspiration, errors, and observation, with an eye on what ignited the taste-buds and spirits of his established clientele. Calagione has a talent for making lemon drops out of lemons, as well, and is a valuable model for anyone with an entrepreneurial twitch for adventures in business.
For the beer lover with hop-lovin’ taste-buds, Sam details his “killer-app” 60 Minute IPA and the process that produces it, Immort Ale and Lawnmower Light; the joys of developing a brewery restaurant; the keys to effective marketing; management skills; leadership skills; and much more.
Brewing Up a Business – Adventures in Entrepreneurship from the Founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery – just new in May, 2005, would make a great Father’s Day or birthday gift – one that would actually be welcome and READ!
Cheers!
