It was nice to finally visit the production facility, and we got a behind the scenes tour from Drew, one of the brewers. There are 5 beers on tap in the tasting room and you get four tokens; the 5th beer is always 60 minute for those not wanting the odd-ball beers. The bottle and case prices are very good, so stock up. The merchandise is high-priced.

Oh how they have grown since I got warm beer from them right from the porduction line.

This is probably one of the easier breweries to find. The signage was fantastic and their was plenty of parking. The tour wasn’t as extensive as I’ve seen but frankly if you’ve seen one brewery tour you’ve seen them all. The biggest thing was not seeing the bottling line. Those things are cool. After you take the free tour you get free 2 oz. samples of 4 beer. As others have mentioned you can only sample the beers if you take the tour. They also have an extensive selection of DFH merch, including beer soap and these awesome screen-printed posters. they also had 6 packs and cases for sale as well as their latest bombers. The highlight of the trip was getting to see Sam Calagione in the tasting room though I didn’t get to talk to him. He seemed very personable.

Enjoyed the tour, great notes of the mash as you enter. Tour is canned, but great to see the bones of the business. After the tour you get 4 free pours. We were the last tour before thanksgiving, so all the employees and Sam himself were hanging out in the pouring room. Awesome! They have some limited release beers and tons of merch in the pouring room. One of the better brewery visits I’ve been on.

It was great to visit the Dogfish brewery. Their facility is breathtaking - lovely cedar notes fill your nose as you walk through the front door. The big treehouse is cool to see up close outside. Inside the taproom they have 4-6 taps, bottles for sale and 4 / 6 pks for sale. You can get some good deals on bottles to go. They also have lots of merchandise throughout the taproom. I believe you can only get beer on tap if you take the tour. And if you want to take the tour, you must make reservations weeks in advance - check their website for details. The tour was very informative and included 3 stops - the brew house, the fermentation tank area and the barrel room where the huge Palo Santo tank is alongside 2 oak tanks. They did not show us the bottling line b/c they were bottling at the time - but you could see it through some tanks. At the end of the tour you get (4) 4 oz samples. They change frequently. Our tasting included Chateua Jiahu, Raison D’Etre, 90min IPA and 120min IPA!

Really enjoyed this brewery tour. You got four 4 ounce glasses of their delicious beers for free. They had a bunch of beers in bottles that I wouldn’t be able to get from home. The tour guide was friendly, fun and knowledgable. I’ve always digged the vibe that dogfish head gives off. The tour started out a bit scattered but thats the only complaint. Spend way too much there.

Cool to see what happens when a micro gets to go big-time. Loved the oak and palo santo tanks. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, but definitely gave the canned tour to our group of homebrewers. Wish we could have had a bit more of the nitty gritty. Also cool to see the original Sabco system. Free samples were nice - included Midas Touch, the newly re-worked Raison d’Etre (now dry as a bone), and finished with Palo Santo. Lots of cool stuff in the gift shop. Neat Burning Man treehouse out front. Worth a visit.

Cool tour with a nice guy, gave us a thorough tour but was mindful that most of us were really just dying for the free samples. The giant palo santo tanks were awesome. It was cool being able to smell the wood and then taste it in the beer. Everyone there was very friendly, and they have a nice selection of merch and most of their available beers by the case, pack, or bottle. Great brewery. Looking forward to doing it again.

Fun tour, can’t complain when the tour and samples are free. The tour isn’t terribly extensive, but I thought seeing their giant palo santo and oak tanks was worth the visit in itself. The staff are definitely excited about their workplace and the brews, which makes things fun. If you make the effort to go to this tour, the Rehoboth brewpub is a must (way better than the DFH alehouses around DC).
