In the company of Dewey Beer Company (in photos)
Nestled just south of Rehoboth is Dewey Beach, a small, seaside Delaware town that’s home to none-other than Dewey Beer Company. Like many modern microbreweries, Dewey Beer Company boasts a wooden storefront accompanied by a very wooden interior. Fire hazards aside, I found this to be a very comforting environment on the frigid April evening […]
Chincoteague’s Black Narrows Brewing Co. is as local as local gets
“There’s always places that you keep coming back to because you feel connected to them,” said Black Narrows co-owner Jenna Chapman. “Chincoteague always called us home.” Jenna co-founded Black Narrows with her husband Josh Chapman, and her parents Wendy and Bob Huntley are the brewery owners. They’re not exactly ‘teaguers (for non-teaguers, that means native […]
Crooked Hammock to release highly-anticipated Hand of Buddha on March 23
Lewes, DE — Even as the Shore gets pummeled with a wintry mix of rain, snow and high winds well into the first week of spring, Crooked Hammock is looking forward to warmer weather with the second-year release of their spring seasonal. Hand of Buddha Cream Ale will be released on March 23 at 5 […]
A look inside the first brewery on Virginia’s Eastern Shore
BL and I trekked out to Chincoteague as soon as we heard that Black Narrows Brewing Co. was finally open. We’d been anticipating it for awhile; after meeting owners Jenna and Josh Chapman and sampling some of their beers at MARSHFest over the summer, we were practically counting down the days til their brewery in […]
Burley Oak puts a new spin on the New Year’s toast
New Year’s Eve in Berlin, MD is typically celebrated with all the traditions one might expect from a small town New Year’s Eve party: community members coming together for food vendors, music, champagne and the ball drop at midnight. But this New Year’s Eve in Berlin is going to be just a little bit different. […]
For the new Dewey Beach Brewery: The Name Is the Location
Until now, or, technically, until halfway through this past summer, Dewey Beer Co. was the only brewery in Dewey Beach. Then a restaurant that’s been just off of Dewey’s Coastal Highway for 26 years finally got the chance to brew its own beer. The new brewpub of Gary’s Dewey Beach Grill, called 38°-75° Brewing, after […]
Sharing beer ideas at 3rd Wave
It has been something of a tradition at 3rd Wave brewing to hold a homebrew competition and to brew the winners beer as part of the prize. This year, for the second time in a row, the prize went to Salisbury homebrewer Ryan Psolka. Last year, Psolka won with a Razzle Dazzle raspberry sour ale […]
Trying new things at Evo
I’m trying to be more experimental with the foods I eat and the beers I drink whenever I go out. This is coming from someone who ordered chicken tenders every time she went out well into high school and who spent 2013-2017 (the college years) drinking Natty Boh exclusively. (Yes, I write for a craft […]
Fall is time for experimentation at Backshore Brewing Co.
When you work at the beach, summer doesn’t seem as short as it does when you play at the beach. With its spot on the boards, Backshore Brewing stays busy all year, but from June through August it is a little insane. Usually. Recent months have been a little less insane because they were able […]
Tall Tales: Creating a craft beer narrative
This week, Tall Tales Brewing in Parsonsburg released the first of a series of beers in its “Conspiracy Theory” line. The premise is pretty simple, name beers after famous conspiracies from the faked moon landing to aliens building the pyramids to who really was responsible for the JFK assassination. The beer names go well with […]

A popular brewpub in the coastal town of Lewes, Delaware, Crooked Hammock Brewery captures the summer lifestyle both in their atmosphere and their brews and is […]
Enjoying an endless summer at Crooked Hammock
Crooked Hammock Brewery is set just off the highway, steps from where most of the Cape May Lewes Ferry travelers set off for their Delmarva excursions, but it feels as if it is a world away. Built with the summer in mind, this year-round brewery and restaurant has a little something for everyone. Crooked Hammock is […]
