The kids get to Trick-or-Treat on Saturday evening.  And while our little ghouls and goblins sample different candies, we adults get to taste different autumnal brews.  Don’t be spooked by one of the many beer events Delaware Hop Scene has on tap for you.  They’re not scary, they’re fun!  NorthDelaWHEREHappening.com is happy to post the eerie beer events that DHS has shared with us this week.  Here are our top picks for Wednesday, October 28th through Tuesday, November 3rd.  Be sure to take a look at the full sortable calendar of beer events at DHS.  Happy Halloween!
