They currently provide a great core lineup, suitable for washing down goodies from their bar-friendly menu. So it only seems right that Dewey Beer Company proclaims that their beers travel “30 feet or less” from their tanks to your glass. Word on the street is that locals and vacationers have been spotted sipping a beer … or two … in Dewey Beach. This essentially doubled their beer production, allowing them to provide their popular brews to other restaurants and bars. Shortly after they christened Big Oyster Brewery at Fins Ale House & Raw Bar on Coastal Highway, Jeff Hamer and his team opened yet another brewery/pub on Kings Highway in Lewes.
The name Fins is synonymous with fresh oysters, seafood and spicy bloody marys. The biggest is Crooked Hammock Brewpub on Kings Highway, and they’ve already distinguished themselves with additional locations in Middletown and Myrtle Beach, S.C. It recently won the “Thirst Extinguisher” cocktail competition at the Lewes Fire Station.īack in 2015, three restaurant-based breweries opened in rapid succession, and each one has earned a name for itself. My favorite is the Fire Storm (think Moscow Mule - with an attitude).
He and his wife Mary have been cranking out tasty rum, vodka, gin and seasonal spirits since 2015, and recently introduced some strikingly delicious canned cocktails. Like many of our local craft distillers, Greg is an alumnus of the Dogfish Head operation. One of our most creative spirit masters is Greg Christmas of the award-winning Beach Time Distilling. Proprietors Zack and Marissa King bubble up a number of custom spirits to wash down their lunch, happy hour and dinner goodies. They say that we ignore the spirits at our own peril, so I hasten to tell you about Milford’s EasySpeak. Take a short drive to Harvest Ridge Winery near Dover – they have great events, and wait ‘til you taste their reds! To the south, family-owned Salted Vines Vineyard & Winery offers tastings, events, and venue rentals. Yet another vineyard is a bit north of the beach, but their ever-increasing line of vintages is making inroads down south. In addition to their beautiful grounds, Nassau Valley hosts weddings, private parties and corporate events throughout the year. Sussex County oenophiles have reason to rejoice! Nassau Valley Vineyards in Lewes produces a wide variety of wines. And it’s not going to be just about beer – the Revelation partners are bringing a kitchen and event space to that highly visible spot. Rehoboth’s own Revelation Craft Brewery is putting the finishing touches on its second location in the former 16 Mile complex in Georgetown. When Dogfish Head’s pocket-size brewery first opened on Rehoboth Avenue, legislation sparked by the owners and others blazed a trail for an army of home brewers to make their foamy contributions to the budding craft market. But bubbling (or maybe brewing…) just under the surface is a siren song that lures even more food and drink enthusiasts to the Delaware coast: craft breweries, wineries and distilleries. The James Beard Foundation, along with the Wine Spectator, TripAdvisor, the National Restaurant Association and the Michelin Guide have all paid tribute to our culinary culture here at the beach.
