Of course we want to do our run with it, but we even have one of our-- we're actually really good friends with the crew over at Falling Sky Brewery , which is a much smaller brewery .But they make all their own foods and stuff there.
And I wrote up a proposal for a television series based on a fictional family that owned a baseball team and a brewery in St. Louis.And I took it around.

Sam Calagione: Positive Contact on the duct tape. We sent out four cases around the country on pallets randomly to test that vinyl would brewery that never went out of business. Ken Grossman's the first guy that kind of was a bike repairman, sat down with a drill, built his own mash tun, started in a room this big,
discount our beer or dumb it down particularly in the late '90s I had to take all the profits from my restaurant Brewery and pushed in my commercial Brewery to keep it from going bankrupt um but you know we've been really lucky to look now at what's happening in thebeer industry and see that we really haven't had to shift what we were doing in in these 14 years to a small degree
that's never been done before and is only seen there uh unless we really like it and then we'll bottle it at the big Brewery the next year and we have our 100 Barrel brew house so innovation hashas only uh been ramped up as we've gotten more resources uh to to uh to to
Chimps are terrible, terrible people. The brewery workers are fine, because they're drinking beer.

So all right, so let's start us out. Ninkasi Brewery -- what does Ninkasi mean? So Ninkasi was the ancient Sumerian goddess of fermentation.
And he learned to brew there. Manhattan Brewery failed under three different owners. It was like the second owner was dumber than the first owner, and the third was the dumbest of all.
Catamount, up in Vermont, which was one of the pioneer, one of the my generation of brewers, failed. Brooklyn Brewery has actually grown at 25% pace.
And they're barrel aging and trying out different yeasts. Peekskill Brewery , which you see there on the bottom left, is really easy to visit from here, actually. It's right across the street from the Peekskill train station, and they've got one of the first coolships in New York state.
And it was like 18 million $0.05 glasses a year. Every brewery was a local-- it was a hyper-local business. You sold in the neighborhood.
You sold in the neighborhood. Every brewery was a microbrewery. Their names were invariably the name of the street they were on, the neighborhood they were located in, or the founding family.
vast majority of small breweries in this country or individually when a brewery like ours that might be mid-sized reaches out to make a beer with a brewery like Shorts in Michigan or the Brewery in L.A. that are maybe, you know, less than one tenth of our size, even though Dogfish is only one fifteenth of one percent domestic market share, we are sizable and established now that we can use our outreach and our resources to engage with these smaller breweries. And we learn as much as they do when we do these projects. But knowing we're,
ago cause they were showing the Brew master show down there and they decided that's what they wanted to do with their week's vacation. If these people are gonna come that far to the brewery then of course they're gonna say, since Dogfish has a reputation for experimentation, of course when they get to the source they're gonna say, "What's new? What haven't I tried? What's just being brewed in your pub right now?" So then these people drove from Brazil
But anyway, brief history of Allagash -- I started the company back in the summer of 1994. Spent about a year basically just building the brewery , cobbling it together with a lot of dairy equipment. We were extremely small. It was a 15-barrel system -- like I said, with dairy product -- not very sophisticated. Then, I ran it alone for the first year, brewing
Never had any intention on working with my husband, but I'm really thrilled to be the co-founder of a brewery now. I homebrewed when I was in my early 20s, so I've been a big fan of craft beer for most of my adult drinking years.
You can imagine what that's going to look like. It started in the brewery , and then as you see it eventually got taken outside to all places that are legal to have alcohol. But yeah if you-- we have our own YouTube channel, so go check out Toss Me A Beer.
And then we turned pro and that shot was taken for the "Improper Bostonian" in 2012. This is our brewery back in 2012. This is like a clean day for us.
That's something atypical of what a lot of the sour beers that are out there in the market-- those are usually kettle sours, which they kind of cook it We'll have a brewery in there, a kitchen, and a coffee bar-- which is something-- kitchen and coffee bar are all new for us.
That's something atypical of what a lot of the sour beers that are out there in the market-- those are usually kettle sours, which they kind of cook it A certain other brewery in the Boston area is having some very widely publicized labor issues right now.
So much attention. Yeah. This is a brewery that I haven't been to yet but I know is really popular when it comes to this general area.
And so we also have that on the other side of us that also is perfectly located for the new arena. And Founders Brewery just opened across the street from us, now, which will also bring people to the area. We're bridging the gap between the arena and what is quote, unquote, "Midtown," on the other side of Martin Luther King, where it was kind of the Cass corridor.
So we've always been trying to be aggressive with our opportunity and our capacity. And so the typical brewery constraint, we see it literally hundreds and hundreds of times, is people-- they don't have enough cash. They don't have enough credibility.
Chimps are terrible, terrible people. And the brewery workers are fine.
produced that until 1888 um he died and actually he got sick so she took over the brewery and ran the brewery which was not a very common thing for a woman to be running a big business number one but also a brewery was not a very common thing but she ran

It is a small brewery ?
Is it a brewery run by somebody who's under 26?
Or is it a brewery that-- well, I'm going to say, no.
A craft brewery is a brewery really controlled by one individual vision.
That's a craft brewery .
The owners of the brewery are half Italian.
Because an old brewery in Belgium had done the same thing in the '90s, and I loved it, and I wanted to do it.
fit either brewery . And I'm like, what the hell is this?
that you have to check ahead of time. But I view our brewery sort of as a microcosm possibly of future beer drinking trends, because we, as brewers, drink in dog years.
I convinced him that it was not a completely lunatic thing to try to start a brewery . And we started Brooklyn Brewery . That was 1988 when we sold our first beer.
The pioneers I describe as a period from 1965 when Fritz Maytag from the Maytag washing machine fortune, bought an old failing brewery in San Francisco called the Anchor Brewing Company and brought back Anchor Steam beer, which was a particular kind of beer, a lager beer actually brewed at warmer temperatures like an ale
So Jack is a real entrepreneur, a very quirky personality. Jack started New Albion Brewery in Sonoma. And that was really the first home built brewery .
Actually, I remember Ken Grossman saying something like, you know, what Jack was doing was just kind of a glorified home brewing operation. So Ken started his brewery in Chico in a garage basically cobbling things together the same way Jack had done.
There is an interesting story about Red Hook which I think illustrates a lot of the way things were back with the pioneers. Red Hook Brewery in Seattle, started by Paul Shipman who was a wine salesman. Shipman was determined that he was going to brew really original beer.
And it was a period of incredible innovation. New Belgium Brewery in Colorado started up making only Belgian style beers. Allagash up in Maine started up, Stone in San Diego, Russian River in California,
