Beer Notes: Fall Festivals to Frame Your Beercation

September is the month when beer festivals really come into their own. This week on Beer Notes we are talking about regional craft beer festivals. Oktoberfest in Munich actually starts in September as  do many Octoberfest festivals here in the United States.  The beer centric festivities don’t slow down as we slide into the namesake […]

Let Evo’s BrutAle DriPA and Stalker Hefeweizen be your valentines this year

Evo love on tap

We’re back today with more beer profiles, and yes, that’s a triple entendre: Here we’re describing the local craft beer’s flavor profiles, while also profiling who they are and what they’re all about and displaying a little dating profile of sorts to match you with your dream beer this Valentine’s Day. We already presented 3rd […]

What do Candy Kitchen, Wildberry, and 30 Days in the Hole all have in common?

They’re all Tall Tales beers, first of all, and they’ll all be available at Shore Craft Beer Fest: Love on Tap at Seacrets on FeBREWary 23rd. Candy Kitchen was brewed in collaboration with Ocean City’s iconic candy shop, and is possibly the sweetest beer you’ll find on tap at the annual beer festival. It’s a […]

Beer under the gray October sky: Photos from OCtoberfest 2018

We were a little nervous looking at the forecast the week leading up to OCtoberfest, but when everyone on the Eastern Shore began canceling their Halloween events scheduled for the 27th, we just held our breath and crossed our fingers. It wasn’t a beautiful day, but it didn’t rain and we didn’t totally freeze. And […]

Howlin’ Good Time: The Dogs of Shore Craft Beer’s OCtoberfest

Not only is OCtoberfest the biggest annual craft beer festival in Ocean City, but it’s also the one that’s most kid- and pet-friendly. In our preparations for the 2018 OCtoberfest on Oct. 27, we stumbled across a photo album from last year’s event — and what stands out the most, aside from the day’s beautiful […]

One decade of Brews on the Beach is in the books, following this year’s annual West Ocean City beer fest that ALMOST got rained out but then, thankfully, didn’t. Below are some of our favorite photos from this year’s Brews on the Beach. If you missed it, or if you made it out and just […]

Bringing Virginia’s Top Breweries to the Shore

We love our local breweries here on Delmarva. However, we wouldn’t be able to advertise our upcoming beer festival in Chincoteague as a totally keepin’-it-local experience if we didn’t bring in breweries from all over Virginia. Our featured brewery at the April 28 festival is Black Narrows, Chincoteague’s first craft brewery that first opened its […]

Chincoteague: The Perfect Island for a Perfect Beer Festival

Last year was only our first Shore Craft Beer Fest: Chincoteague, but the day was just so perfect that we had to do it again. (And hopefully again and again and again until the end of time.) If you’ve ever been to a beer festival in mid-spring, you know that it’s the perfect time of […]
