So we left the big city D.C behind, and headed out to Rehoboth Beach, DE. Friends had lent us their condo for the week and we were planning on having a relaxing old time, along with a couple of brewery tours thrown in for good measure! First stop after dumping our luggage – Dogfish Head Brewpub! We tried a couple of Brewpub exclusives:

Shark Beer: Golden ale fermented with Kolsch yeast, wet hopped with Galena hops! 

Bed Burglar: Amber ale, with my favourite (!!) Nelson Sauvin hops

Odd-ummm: Honey beer, brewed with local peaches – like Festina Peche on steroids!

We also had the 75 minute on cask…O…M…G…! So good

The food was also fantastic! Brent and I both had the burger, which is made from beef from the cows that eat the spent grain from Dogfish. Absolutely the best burger I’ve eaten in a really long time. My mum had the chowder, which she raved about, and my dad’s roast beef sandwich was a hit

We got a couple of growlers to go; one of Punkin’ and another of the Shelter Pale Ale, and headed home via the supermarket for some juicy steaks and chilled out for the evening Tomorrow – Brewery Tour!

More D.E. to come!
