What’s Happening & WHERE This Week in Craft Beer!

Beer Flight

$3 Wednesdays at Iron Hill Brewery Newark
Sullivan’s Steakhouse Wilmington Winter Beer Dinner with brews from The Brooklyn Brewery, Lagunitas, Otter Creek, Wolavers, and Wyerbach

The Chadds Ford Historical Society is hosting a “Tavern Talk” called Bugging Out

Tavern Talks is a new monthly series, aimed exclusively for adults 21 and older, that focuses on unexplored aspects of early American history and culture with hands-on activities, food and drink tastings, demonstrations, and more! During this month’s Tavern Talk, guests will have the opportunity to learn about how Colonists used bugs by tasting different types of local honey from Swarmbustin’ Honey, watch demonstrations on using cochineal (a bug used to dye clothing), talk with an 18th century beekeeper, and sample different honey-based beverages that were drank by the Colonists.

Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen is hosting the inaugural Newark First Responders Wing Championship

World Cafe Live at The Queen Grilled Cheese & Craft Beer event

The folks at The Queen have taken two of the best things on earth — Grilled Cheese and Craft Beer — and paired them together in unexpected and delicious ways. How does a Yards Saison paired with Old Bay cheddar on brioche with a mini crab cake sound? Or maybe an Italian Cacio de Lazio on Herbes de Provence bread with tomato and kalamata olive puree along with New Holland Brewing’s Golden Cap Saison Ale?

If that isn’t good enough, after four delectable cheese and beer courses, we finish off with a dessert to die for. Perhaps a Victory Storm King Stout Strawberry shortcake with drunken berries and fresh orange whipped cream?

SUNDAY, March 13th

Sunday Funday beer

MONDAY, March 14th

Tell us of your Monday Beer Event

TUESDAY, March 15th

Taco Tuesday Madness at Two Stones Pub Newark, Two Stones Pub Wilmington, and Two Stones Pub Kennett
