Known for a full range of styles

Founded in 1995 by Sam Calagione in Rehoboth Beach, later expanding to a production brewery in Milton. Dogfish Head pioneered 'off-centred ales for off-centred people' — experimenting with ancient ingredients, continuous hopping and esoteric recipes decades before it was fashionable. The 60 Minute and 90 Minute IPAs became American craft classics; the brewery is now part of the Boston Beer Company.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
