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 […]
We Braved the Storm!: Photos from Brews on the Beach ’18
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 […]
Art X Festival to Feature Shore Craft Beer Garden
Having outgrown the 17-year-old annual “Arts Alive” festival, this weekend (Aug. 25-26) the Town of Ocean City in conjunction with the Art League of Ocean City is premiering Art X, a larger affair that’s inclusive of all kinds of art. The two-day festival will feature artists displaying and selling their work around Northside Park, plus […]
Beer Watch: Local Brews Round-Up for July
Here are some good places to enjoy a beer this summer: At a barbecue. Beside the pool. On the beach (in a cozy or opaque generic container depending on where you’re beaching). On a balcony, at a ballgame and, most importantly, at your local brewery. Luckily on Delmarva there’s no shortage of local craft breweries […]
A week of cheap beer pairings in Ocean City? Yes, please!
Before you’re thrown off by the headline, let me just clarify that it’s not the quality of the beer that’s cheap (no Michelob Ultra here, people), but the food and craft beer pairings that are inexpensive during Shore Craft Beer Restaurant Week, coming up June 4 – 10 in Ocean City. It’s an issue in […]
Merging craft beer with the arts
We already know that craft beer is an art in itself, as much as any culinary process is considered an artistic exploit. Merging the art of craft beer with more traditional arts — painting, sculpture, even music — makes for a pairing as great as the classic IPA-with-a-basket-of-mozzarella-sticks combo (or something as equally greasy). Traditional […]
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 […]
Introducing Bethany’s Beer on the Beach: Shore Craft Beer’s first Delaware Festival
Local artists and local beer kick off the Art League’s exhibits this FeBREWary
Art and beer make a fantastic pairing. The Ocean City Center for the Arts is helping us kick off FeBREWary this year by featuring local craft beer at their monthly First Friday reception. The public is invited to meet the artists and sample the local beer at the free opening reception on February’s First Friday, […]
