    Going to Delaware on May 14. Looking for something new, been to Dogfish. Any suggestions?

    Mispillion? I've never been to the brewery, but I've enjoyed their canned stuff.

    2SP - Two Stones Brewery in Ashton or pubs in Newark, Hockessin and Kennett Square, PA. They brew their own beer.

    A second vote for Mispillion River, very small brewery in Milford, great beers available year round (Space Otter, Black Tie, Reach around) they should have a few brewery exclusives too

    Where in Delaware are you heading? North/Wilmington, Mid/Dover, or South/Rehohoth?

    Burley Oak and Evolution in MD. No more than an hour from scenic Seaford. Evo more like a half hour.

    Agree 100% Both great breweries. No food at Burley Oak, but the selection is awesome. Evolution has good food and Great Beer as well. I am headed to both in July

    Mispillion River, 100%.

    Went to Mispillion, Dogfish Head, and 16 Mile in October. DFH is cool for the tour, but everything they had at the brewery was exactly what I had in bottles. Mispillion is small and quaint but 100% worth the visit for the beers. They have a great list and Not Today Satan, Black Tie, Holy Crap, amongst others are well worth it.

    16 Mile, meh.

    All that have been mentioned are worth a pitstop if you want to make a day roadtrip out of it. Get your food at Evo though or DFH Rehobeth.

    Mispillion and 16 mile are solid

    I second RAR. They are doing it well. Great beer with crowlers to go. If you make it that way hit up Ocean Odyssey or High Spot for lunch

    Small local beerfest the 14th in downtown Cambridge right in front of the high Spot. $25 a head and the band they get is quite good...all the local MD Breweries should be pouring....I "volunteer" to pour as my son in laws bro in law puts the thing on....I usually tend to be at the DFH trailer if you wanna say hey!!

    Off the top of my head I would say 20 at a minimum? Nothing that has a really massive wow factor but a very solid selection-Evo, DFH, RAR, Burley Oak, Calvert, Fordham, Brewer's Art, DC Brau, Union Craft, 3rd Wave and some others I am drawing a blank on. Decent weather it should be hoppin'...this is probably my 6 or 7th time pouring always a good crowd-maybe 300 to 40 folks. Right on High St in front of the High Spot. You can always kill a few hours and head to RAR to kick back..never a bad meal at High Spot either....

    Give Blue Earl Brewing (Smyrna, DE) a shot. Beer is great and last time I was there there was an awesome food truck outside.
