Hopper’s Tap House, one of the largest and most craft beer-centric bars on Delmarva, is looking just a little bit different these days than it did when it opened just over two years ago.

What’s new this summer at Fin City? Well, that’s up to you.
Fin City has a lot in the works for a summer full of beer “reel-eases” and easy drinking out on the Assawoman Bay (if you’ve never been, they brew up in the rafters of Hooper’s Crab House in West Ocean City). Even so, this year’s Beer of the Summer could actually be determined by you. […]
Beer on the Boards: What’s in store this summer at Backshore?
Backshore Brewing Co. is now entering its sixth season on the Ocean City Boardwalk, and things at the brewery are really heating up — pun only a little intended.
