Sam on Dogfish Head’s 2015 Start

Dear Client: Last year was a big one for Dogfish. They said goodbye to longtime sales VP Adam Lambert, promoted COO Nick Benz to CEO, posted another year of double-digit increases and announced some interesting new initiatives, to include an imminent new cider brand. They opened a boutique namesake Inn at Lewes, Delaware, too. How will they follow such a year? "We're actually maybe 25,000-30,000 barrels above budget revenue overall for the month of January," founder Sam Calagione told CBD.
