Sam and Mariah Calagione started dating in high school, and have been on a wild ride ever since. Their biggest, craziest adventure? Founding Dogfish Head Brewery and forever changing the landscape of American craft beer. From the moment Sam started home-brewing in his NYC apartment, he infused his beer with unusual ingredients like cherries, maple syrup, roasted chicory, and licorice. When he and Mariah officially launched Dogfish Head in 1995, it was the smallest brewery in America's smallest state. 24 years (and countless pints) later, it was acquired by the Boston Beer Company for $300 million. Along the way, Sam and Mariah had one random experience after another: writing a bill to legalize their own brew-pub, winning best recipe at the Delaware Punkin Chunkin, and inviting Ricki Lake to their first tasting at Sam's apartment (spoiler alert: she showed up).This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

January is a unique time of year. It signifies a fresh slate and new beginnings. It's also cold and snowy, and it presents the perfect opportunity to slow down after the hustle and bustle (and perhaps overindulgence) that the Christmas season sometimes brings. For some (including Joe), it may also mean giving up alcohol and becoming healthier.In this week's episode of the Craft Parenting Podcast, Joe and Caroline dive into the history of Dry January, list some of the options that are available, and discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks.Remember, if you are participating in Dry January this year, you can still support your favorite Craft Breweries, even if you aren't drinking.

Coronado co-founder Rick Chapman discusses how Weekend Vibes IPA was the catalyst for spurring the San Diego brewery's growth.   Narragansett Beer owner Mark Hellendrung shares how the Rhode Island legacy brand reversed fortunes and is now producing over 100,000 barrels.    And Surfside co-founder and CEO Clem Pappas breaks down the growth of the canned cocktail brand, which was the fastest growing spirits brand in the U.S. in 2024.

John E. Streetz, Head of the Streetz Artz Alliance, has been curating craft shows at suburban craft breweries for years. Odds are, you've probably been to one (either planned or accidentally). They're great events that pull in an eclectic mix of area artisans… and are a perfect complement to the neighborhood breweries that host them.   As the multi-location Krampus Market was underway in Blue Island, John jumped in my car outside Blue Island Beer Company (13357 Old Western Ave) to talk about how he started building these events, how they're developed, and what the future might have in store.   Next up for the Streetz Artz Alliance:   Saturday 12/14/24 - Winter Craft Market (Church St., Itasca) Sunday 12/15/24 - Flipside Holiday Bazaar (Flipside, Tinley Park)   __   Car Con Carne is also sponsored by Easy Automation: easy-automation.net   Transform your living space with cutting-edge home automation.
