Partnership

LNK made a minority investment in Dogfish Head, one of the leading brands in the craft beer industry.

LNK partnered with Dogfish Head as the company grew its business and maintained its premium positioning in the industry.

Background

Dogfish Head has proudly been focused on brewing beers with culinary ingredients since the day it opened as the smallest American craft brewery in 1995. Dogfish Head has grown into a leading craft brewery and has won numerous awards throughout the years including Wine Enthusiast’s 2015 Brewery of the Year and the James Beard Foundation Award for 2017 Outstanding Wine, Spirits, or Beer Professional.

In addition to beer, Dogfish Head offers scratch-made spirits that are batch-distilled with culinary and botanical ingredients. The company also has several restaurants and Dogfish Inn, a beer-themed destination.

LNK was a terrific partner and played a critical role in the Dogfish journey. We are a much stronger company now thanks to our partnership with LNK.
