“Brian and Bryan were integral contributors to the success and growth of Dogfish years ago and we love opportunities like this; both of these gents have continued to grow as leaders and brewers after leaving Dogfish and they are bringing their expanded skills and experience back to our community of talented and passionate coworkers,” says Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head CEO and founder.
Selders will return to Dogfish at the end of May with the new Rehoboth brewpub as his base camp.
Selders will continue to keep the pipeline of brewpub exclusive beers full, brew experimental beer with Sam and other Dogfish brewers and represent the brand at Dogfish Head hospitality locations and events.
Selders first joined Dogfish in 2002 and has enjoyed a two-decade-long career in the brewing world, including his last stint with Dogfish Head as the Head Brewer.
Selders, aka DJ Little Guy, along with Calagione, aka Funkmaster I.B.U., are founding members of The Pain Relievaz, the world’s one and only beer-geek, tongue-in-cheek, hip-hop ensemble, a release noted.
For a couple years, Selders took a short break from Dogfish, working in the graphic design world and in management roles in the brewing industry.
In his new role, Hollinger will be charged with overseeing brewing, production, packaging and logistics.
Hollinger originally joined Dogfish in 2009, working in various management roles in the engineering department. He was an engineering/brewing technology leader on the team that oversaw some of the biggest equipment and facility expansions in the 22-year history of the company. In 2011, he ventured outside of Dogfish to undertake and lead operations teams in a central leadership position at a southern craft brewery. Hollinger returns to Southern Delaware with his wife and daughter. For more information about Dogfish Head happenings, visit
