Milton, DE
The Dogfish Head Brewing Company, founded in 1995 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, began as the state's first brewpub and operated with a modest 12‑gallon system that allowed for frequent production runs. The limited capacity of the early setup encouraged experimentation, leading to a wide range of unconventional ingredients and styles. Visitors to the Milton, DE facility can observe the evolution from a small, propane‑heated system to a modern brewery that still values recipe innovation.
