BEERCATION – Delaware
The first brewery stop in Delaware was Thompson Island in Rehoboth Beach. Here I enjoyed some mussels along with a Motueka Smash, a west coast IPA made with pale malt and Motueka hops with an ABV of 6.8%. It is described as having notes of stone fruit, tropics and pine.
The next stop in Delaware was, you guessed it, Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton. It was here where I had a flight of tasting room exclusives that included Festina Peche, a Sour Fruited Berliner Weisse with a 4.5% ABV and 8 IBU, I Hear You Like Talus, an American IPA at 6.8% ABV and 40 IBU, Negronia, a farmhouse ale aged in Dogfish Head Distilling Co. Mellowtious Gin barrels, infused with botanicals at 10% ABV, Saison Verdante, a farmhouse saison clocking in at 5.5% ABV with 20 IBU.
The last stop in Delaware was back in Rehoboth Beach at the Dogfish Head Chesapeake & Maine Restaurant, where I enjoyed their $15 Maine lobster dinner along with Dogfish Head Brewery and Distillery offerings.
This concludes the Delaware visit. On to New York State.
