Dogfish Head Brewery Founder Visits Narragansett

The team at Horizon Beverage Co. showcased Dogfish Head brews and ready-to-drink cocktails during a summer sales meeting at Boon Street Market in Narragansett. Sam Calagione, Brewer and Co-founder of Delaware-based Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Distilling Co., joined the event first for a dinner presentation, followed by an outdoor public event for craft beer fans on Aug. 15. Calagione, who gained media fame as an early advocate for the craft beer industry, presented several of the brand’s beers and ready-to-drink cocktails, including Dogfish Head Citrus Squall Imperial Golden Ale, SeaQuench Ale, Strawberry & Honeyberry Vodka Lemonade and Blood Orange & Mango Vodka Crush. In 2019, Dogfish Head merged with longtime U.S. craft beer pioneer Boston Beer Co., best known for its Samuel Adams brand, which launched in 1984, and whose portfolio now also includes Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Twisted Tea and Truly Hard Seltzer. Guests also enjoyed tastes of Dogfish Head Punkin Ale and 60 Minute IPA on tap at the venue’s bar.
