内容简介 Entrepreneurial dreams do come true! Starting with nothing more than a home brewing kit, Sam Calagione founded Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and made it America′s fastest growing independent beer. This unconventional business story reveals how Calagione found success by dreaming big, working hard, and thinking differently–and how you can do it too.
"Rarely is a book as good as a beer but this one is. It′s written with humor, humility, and passion, essential ingredients for any entrepreneur."
–Bob Guccione Jr. founder of Spin magazine and Gear magazine
"Brewing Up a Business will inspire both entrepreneurs and aspiring small business people to have the confidence in following their dreams."
–Jim Davis Chairman and CEO of New Balance
"Sam Calagione embodies the spirit of a true Delaware entrepreneur. Starting out as the smallest brewery in the nation, Sam′s ambition, acute business sense, and vision have allowed Dogfish Head Craft Brewery to successfully enter an extremely competitive market as Dogfish Head continues to leave an indelible mark on the beer industry."
–Ruth Ann Minner Governor of Delaware
"Everything you want to know about succeeding in business you can learn from beer. At least you can if it′s the remarkable story of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Brewing Up a Business is like a ′how–to′ manual for entrepreneurs. With humor, creativity, and wisdom, Sam Calagione has crafted a new kind of business book that′s as unique as his great beer!"
–Joe Calloway author of Becoming a Category of One and Indispensable

编辑推荐 Review
"Solid writing and a no-nonsense style...with a welcome avoidance of business jargon make this an enjoyable and practical read." (Library Journal, May 1, 2005)
For those who like their business advice mixed with tales of the trials and tribulations of starting a new business, this book will go down as smoothly as a pint of Immort Ale, one of Dogfish Head's signature brews. While chapters cover much tried-and-true territory, including entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, leadership, and employee relations, Calagione manages to keep the advice he dispenses fresh by relating it to his own often humorous experiences in starting what is now one of the fastest-growing breweries in the country. Stories of hand-delivering beer from a U-haul in dicey neighborhoods and securing labels with rubber bands after running out of glue attest to both the author's determination and his anything-goes entrepreneurial spirit. Solid writing and a no-nonsense style coupled with a welcome avoidance of business jargon make this an enjoyable and practical read for anyone either interested in the brewery business or thinking of creating his or her own start-up. Recommended for public libraries and large business/entrepreneurship collections.—Susan Hurst, Miami Univ. of Ohio, Oxford (Library Journal, May 1, 2005) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
