FOX TV Buys Rights For Sitcom based on Dogfish Head Brewery

From Delaware Online:

Next time, it could be the backdrop for a prime-time family sitcom on network TV with characters based on the real-life Dogfish founders, Sam and Mariah Calagione, and their two children, Sammy, 13, and Grier, 11.

Fox has purchased the show, which would star its co-creator, actor Ken Marino (“Party Down,” “The State”), a longtime friend of Sam Calagione who helped him paint the brewery’s flagship Rehoboth Beach brewpub before it first opened.

While Fox has first dibs on the show, it does not necessarily mean the show is definitely a go. It is in the very early stages of development, having only been pitched to Sony TV three months ago. Calagione says the project has not been gestating long. In fact, Calagione knew nothing of the pitch before it happened.
