Dogfish Head hit 200,000 barrel mark in 2013, a milestone that only 11 other regional brewing companies had achieved the year prior.
Dogfish Head production numbers soared to 202,000 barrels, up 17 percent over last year.
It’s not the 30-plus percent growth that some other craft breweries have enjoyed in recent years, but that’s just fine for Adam Lambert, the company’s vice president of sales, who said he prefers “slow and steady growth.”
Lambert attributes Dogfish Head’s continued ability to grow in the “high-teens” to its diverse portfolio of offerings — one that included 38 different styles in 2013. Collectively, Dogfish Head’s IPA-styled beers accounted for 79 percent of production, or about 159,000 barrels.
“We have a very well-rounded portfolio of IPAs,” Lambert said. “ It is well-defined, creative and there aren’t two in the same style.”
