Delaware Beer: The Story of Brewing in the First State

Más información sobre el libro

Delaware's craft beer scene is rich with history, beginning with the rise of German lagers in the 19th century. Following Prohibition, homebrewers revived the industry, with Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head playing a pivotal role in reforming state beer laws. This opened the door for brewpubs like Stewart's and Iron Hill, which combined food with their unique brews. By 2009, production breweries such as 16 Mile and Fordham & Dominion emerged, showcasing innovative brewing and highlighting the local drinking culture. Beer writer Tony Russo captures this dynamic evolution.
