Revelation Craft Brewing Company

Revelation is a fun little brewery in a quiet corner of Rehoboth. We loved chilling there on a Friday evening after visiting a couple of bigger, crowded beer jawns nearby.

10 beers on tap, of which I got a flight of 4: Berliner (too sour), Saison Peach (decent), Hellacious Chocolate Stout (good, the best of them all), S'morter Porter nitro. The wife got their Grandmother-in-Law DIPA an it was fantastic.

The place is great even if the beer is not, and we look forward to stopping by again in our next visit to Rehoboth..

Very small indoor location with a much larger tented area. Not a lot of car parking, but plenty of bicycle racks with a pizza truck across the alley. Option to take on locals on a driveway hoop next door. Beers are solid.

My type of micro brewery.

V - Great vibe. Off the main road. Sort of hidden in a neighborhood. Very small with some outside area. But the vibe is great. What I want in a brewery tap room. Not a lot of parking available. 4.25

Q - Unfortunately the beer quality didn't match the vide. 3.75

Sel - A narrow selection of average beers. No Blgian or English styles - 3.75

Ser - Was very good. Tender easily described the beers. Was friendly and helpful. Only one person working the bar, so it the place got any busier there may have been a timing problem. 4.0

Visiting Rehobeth and wanted to check out some of the smaller local breweries. We were the only customers in the tasting room when we arrived on Sunday night. Very small tasting room with the door wide open. As it’s 47 degrees outside it’s really cold in the tasting room with the door open. All the seats are very close to the door cause it’s a tiny place. Politely asked if the door could be closed. No. That’s it no explanation nothing. Started drinking our beers with our coats on. Asked why it wasn’t possible to close the door because it’s really cold and we are the only customers. “ The owner says the door has to stay open.” So our group of five people was one and done. Will never return to this place. Beer was average at best. Beertender was not friendly in the least and why the door could not be closed is beyond me. Place left us cold both literally and metaphorically.

Small tasting area with some outdoor seating. Lots of locals, many biking to the venue. Near complete selection of the primary brews on draft. Also have multiple coolers for take out 4 packs. Add this to your destination list. Stop in for a quick sip or take a few to go.

 

 

 

 

Never even heard of this place before until visiting Delaware this past weekend. Located on a side street, in a small poll barn type of building with a tent connected that also houses a fire grill pizza truck. The cool thing about it is the way it's laid out in the interior, it connects the food truck to the brewery giving a connected feel since it's all under the same roof. I also noticed alot of bike traffic. The local bicycle scene likes this place. ... and it's pet friendly.

The beers were solid. I'd definitely visit again next time in the area. Dogfish Head dominates this part of Delaware, I'm glad to see other breweries popping up - much needed. Revelation is off to a good start.

We stopped here during our beercation to try their beers. The place is located in a small metal building in an older mixed light industrial and residential area. Parking is available two lots down the street. The taproom is small, and the seats at the bar are most of what is available. Several TVs were noted. A garage door opens to a new tent out in front of the building that is said to be a year-round feature, so good luck in the winter. (I was told that they bought the sides with the tent.) There is ample picnic table seating in the tent. The vibe is just average for a pub. They were not busy on a Thursday mid-afternoon, so service was very good along with the conversation from the bartender.

There were 13 beers on tap (plus a nitro), and we chose 6 of them for a sampler flight. All of them were brewed very well to style, andeachl of them exceeded its respective style characteristics so that we gave an overall B grade to them. We didn't put any in an 'exceptional' category, but 4 of the were notable – Downtown Donut Brown (nitro); Conan the Juiceman; Razz Sour (truly sour, not just tart); and Peach Berliner.

No food is available here. Beer to go is available in 32 oz. browlers (a plastic howler meant for use by bicyclists) and growlers. We really liked the beers and would return if we are ever in this area again.

 

I stopped here, just because I wanted to change it up from Dogfish Head. I thought the beer selection and brewery were just average, but glad I stop to check it out.

 

I'll just add on to what others have said. SMALL but nicely intimate place. Very laid back. Some small tables by the bar that seats perhaps 12. Nice gamut of beers, perhaps 10 available. I like the fact there wasn't 4 IPAs or that everything was 6% plus. The girl running the bar said they actually had 4 IPAs at once before. Some sessionable brews going on. The Manajuana (sp?) Brown was quite interesting, as was the Great Balls of Fire stout.I well needed and great alternative to DFH. No lines here!!! Only complaint was everything was colder than it needs to be. otherwise a nice new addition to the local scene for sure.

 

Not sure if my overall visit was the norm, but one thing that has to be the same is that this is a tiny place. Off the main road, there is a bar not more than 15 feet from the brewing area (but separated from it). Maybe about 20 seats at the bar, a couple of tables, and a small outside area. Not sure how far into the lot beers can be taken. Extra notes: one unisex bathroom; windows show brewing area, including ability to see brewing notes of some fermenting beers.

The clientele seemed fairly laid back, and I think a few bikers stopped by while we were there. It was busy most of the time. The service was extremely friendly, but for the crowd, they were understaffed with only one server/bartender.

The beers were nice, mostly lower ABV offerings with a few IPAs, a few darker ales, a couple sours, and a couple odds and ends on their dozen (+/-) taps (plus a cask). The Berlinerweiss stood out, while their IPAs were decent. The darker beers were hit and miss.

If we weren't in such a relaxed, no worries mood, the slowness of service would've been a bit annoying. Not sure if this was normal or an anomaly. Seemed like a fun place to stop on occasion for a beer or two, though, especially coming back from the beach before dinner.

Shout out to Tom for getting us in touch with Patrick at Revelation. In our visit we tasted 5 beers. Beers were all fantastic. It was a pleasure speaking with Patrick about his passion for beer and hearing about their plans for the future. We visit the area every summer, and will be sure to stop in again.

 

This place has been open about 3 weeks. Apparently one of the Dogfish Head Brewers started this place. I walked to it from my place in Rehoboth. They cater to the bike crowd, what with selling plastic growlers called "browlers." There were in fact some bike riders straight off the bike path when I stopped by. All the beers were solid, which is a good sign. They had like 9 beers on tap, one cask, one nitro. Good diversity. The bartender was a nice retired guy, but I knew more about beer than he did. That's ok, he was very personable. Glad there's a new place in town.
