(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.

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.
