Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats (Rehoboth Beach, DE)

6/21/08

I've reach beer mecca. Over the course of the last several years, my wife and I have tried to get to Dogfish Head and have never been able to plan the drive out to Rehoboth Beach.  Finally, on a trip to DC, we rented a car and headed out on a Saturday morning to check out the home of off centered ales for ourselves.

And, we weren't disappointed.  Pints of 60 min IPA, India Brown and Raison D'etre were all fresh and well served by our friendly bartender.  In addition, their more exotic ales on tap, Theobroma (Aztec beer) and Palo Santo Marron (Paraquayan wood aged), are beyond belief to have two such cool beers on tap at the same time.

Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but the pizza was very good and the onion rings were better than ok.  Neither matched the beer, which is a high bar, so order up some food, and drink more DH--don't waste time when you're drinking at mecca.

Pub opens noon-ish, as it says on the door, so don't rush down. Hit the beach or the bar next door for an early beer (cheese plate and DH on tap were both great).  A nice walk on the beach is a great idea give you some time before needing to drive home.
