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 […]

Craft beer, folk culture and a Folk Festival on Delmarva
A national festival is coming to our region. The National Folk Festival has been celebrated annually in cities around the U.S. since 1934.

Since its beginnings in the ’30s, the Folk Fest has been held […]
15 photos that show what MARSH Fest is all about
MARSH Fest was introduced to the world on Saturday, and while it might have been the premiere festival of its kind on Wallops Island, it went off without a hitch. Part of MARSH Fest’s success has to be due to the sheer variety of what the festival offers. Do you want to watch a guy […]

Pumpkin ale: A round-up of the local fall brews
The changing of the seasons from summer to fall signifies lots of great things to come, like cozy sweaters, pumpkin patches and haunted hay rides. Pumpkin ale is another one of those great things–at least, to some of us. What would seem like an innocuous enough drink to enjoy during the most festive time of […]
