This is what a Craft Beer destination looks like
The Eastern Shore is a craft beer destination not because most bars here serve rare craft beers, but because they serve local craft beers. When I started covering the Ocean City HMRA show a decade ago there were two beer bars, and they always were packed. I collected bottle caps at the time and was […]

It Takes Two: Craft Beer Love stories
In the summer of 2015, we discovered the Shore Craft Beer challenges via a pamphlet my husband picked up for me at 3rd Wave Brewery. This is significant because not only does my husband drink very little, and drink no beer, he doesn’t even like beer. So it was purely with me in mind that […]

New plan: Drinking more Dogfish Head beer sooner
At the end of the spring season last year, Dogfish Head debuted “Seaquench,” which they billed as a session sour. Tart and a little salty, it was a massive hit well before its time. I first heard about it from DFH evangelist Dan Ryan at a beer tasting and book signing. In case I hadn’t mentioned […]

Celebrating four years of 3rd Wave
According to the absolute first Google search return, fruit and flowers are the appropriate gift for the fourth anniversary. I’m sure they were referring to wedding anniversaries, but the idea, the internet said, behind fruit and flowers is in the hope and support of fertility and renewal. That was enough to register it as a […]
Revelation Brewing opens
I’ll do a more thorough story in the coming weeks but for now, here’s the quick and dirty guide to Revelation Brewing Company in Rehoboth: If you’re completely unfamiliar, this is the brewery that has had its own trials and tribulations over the last few months. Frankly, I had to trash my last grand opening […]

Blue Earl Brewing and the State of the Beer
I’ve been promoting my Delaware Beer book lightly this summer, mostly trying to find a way to get people engaged with the concept of drinking local as well as the instance of it. You might not know that Americans only started drinking beer that was imported from a massive central brewery a little more than 100 years […]
Taking it up a notch: Argilla Brewing Co
Argilla Brewing Co. at Pietro’s Pizza celebrated their 4th anniversary in March, but its history goes back further. Steve Powell’s dad and uncle opened the first Pietro’s Pizza shop back in 1978 in Prices Corner in Wilmington with a second location opening on Churchmans Road in Newark in 1985. They finally settled in Pike Creek, where […]
