(Milton, DE) – Milton’s town council unanimously approved the re-zoning of land adjacent to Dogfish Head‘s brewery on Monday night. The company can now take steps towards building a new warehouse and further exploring what could be a nearly $50 million expansion.


@dogfishbeer
Dogfish Head Brewery
Thank you to our Mayor & City Council for the unanimous vote for re-zoning. We appreciate your support & will work to make Milton proud!

 

According to a Delaware Online report last week…

Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione said the company could build enough capacity on its current land to generate up to 2 million barrels of beer a year, compared to the roughly 145,000 barrels it brews now, he said.

Dogfish Head must now pass a site plan review before building on the newly-acquired property.

Expect to see lots of new jobs opening up in Milton in the coming years.

Dogfish vote was unanimous. Councilwoman Duby was absent and Councilman West abstained because he was not at the public hearing. #SussexDE
