Founded by Sam and Mariah Calagione in 1995, Dogfish Head used to be the smallest microbrewery in the United States when Calagione first started with three very small kegs with propane burners beneath them and produced only 10 gallons of beer per day. Twenty eight years later, it is one of the most well-known and largest craft breweries in the United States. 

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery was acquired by The Boston Brewing Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM) in 2019, in a deal that paid Sam Calagione and his family $127.7 million in shares of The Boston Brewing Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM), and $173 million in cash to its shareholders.
