Dogfish Head: Round 2

This was our second time going to the Dogfish Head Brewery... this year we planned ahead and booked a tour EARLY since last year we randomly decided to go there and the tour was booked. The tour lasted over an hour! It was cool, we were told all about the history of Dogfish Head and then got to see "behind the scenes" of their brewery and warehouse. They are in the middle of a lot of construction, they are under-going a $52 million expansion!
