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 […]
Finding the right space: 3rd Wave Brewing
You say pineapple, Evo says Pinehople
If you’re subscribed to this, you know Pinehople is out. We spoke about it on the Beer with Strangers podcast and it is getting more than a little traction around the Internet. But if this is the first you’re hearing of it, let me bring you up to speed: Pinehople is the newest release from […]

Ocean City Brewing Company Nuckin Futz with Baked Brie covered with maple syrup and candied walnuts
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. Yes, it is a mouthful, but more than that there’s a behind the scenes story. Because of the wonderfullest mixup of the day there were too many candies walnuts. That meant I […]
Dominion Morning Glory Espresso Stout with Stilton
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. I love Morning Glory Espresso Stour because the coffee beans and hops work as a team for a mellow bitterness that is even further tempered by the malt. That’s what gives it a […]
Fin City Capitano’s Winter Stout with Smoked Cheddar
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. First (and this may or may not be news to you) most people can’t get Capitano’s Winter Stout. OK If you count Asia most people can’t get craft beer, but I’m making […]
Mispillion Space Otter with Red Dragon cheese
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. Red Dragon cheese? Is that really a thing? Yes, and it is an awesome thing. Just as with the Maytag Cheese this selection was off my radar and, as many other people said, […]
Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale with Smoked Gouda
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. I was really excited to see this pairing on the list because the Indian Brown is one of my favorites. Not only is it a really accessible beer, it is one of […]
Assawoman Angry Clown Brown Ale with Maytag Blue Cheese
This is a continuation of a blog about the Shore Craft Beer Talk and Tasting held at the Clarion Fountainebleu in early 2016. The difficulty here is both to not oversell the cheese and not undersell the beer. Maytag Blue Cheese is better described on this link, but I’ll say it has almost the consistency of […]
