We’ll be dropping our final anchor of the trip at Southport General Store for a 30th Anniversary Festival back where it all started, in Southport, Maine! Way back in the early 90s when Sam was writing the business plan for Dogfish Head, he actually pulled the company’s name from a spit of land out in Southport, where he would spend summers with his family. So now, 30 years later, it’s only fitting to end our anniversary boat tour there! The 30th Anniversary Festival will be filled with off-centered goodness from live music, delicious BBQ, raffles, freebies and so much more!
