November 25, 2024 | Zeke Ottemiller
The holidays are right around the corner and, let’s be honest, they can’t get here soon enough. The Big Man may be loading some extra coal onto his sleigh this year, but that doesn’t mean we should do away with good spirit and cheer. In these trying times, I find connection and community (and beer) are a suitable remedy for a case of the bah humbugs.
DelaWeAre Statewide Collaboration Returns
October 31, 2024 | Zeke Ottemiller
DelaWeAre, a statewide collaboration organized by the Delaware Brewers Guild, returns this fall. Fourteen breweries from across the Small Wonder will be releasing their version of the beer in the coming days. Stout season is in full swing in the First State, so brewers have worked up a rendition of this style. Beer drinkers might assume something dark, roasty and heavy. However, Stout is a pretty broad category, so expect to see a variety of ABVs, IBUs and even SRMs across Delaware.
Dewey Beer Co. | Sun Camp (West Coast IPA)
October 7, 2024 | Zeke Ottemiller
Moving from San Diego to a small coastal town in Delaware was not as hard as one might imagine. Arriving to the East Coast in mid-January, I immediately missed the nearly perfect weather, but have now embraced seasonality and the beauty of change. When I find myself longing for SoCal, it’s not the sunshine, the surf or the endless summer that I am missing, it’s the beer. That is until Dewey Beer Co. released Sun Camp, a 6% West Coast IPA I now turn to when I’m California dreamin’.
