Brew Works North Now Open
Wilmington Brew Works has opened Brew Works North, an adults-only taproom in the Plaza III shopping center on Marsh Road. The opening followed a legislative push to update Delaware law, led by Rep. Debra Heffernan and Sen. Dan Cruce, allowing WBW to operate a second site.
Featuring bar games such as darts, pool, cornhole, and skee-ball, Brew Works North offers a bright and bold retro-inspired design that contrasts with the original Miller Road beer hall. It serves WBW beer and cider, as well as guest taps from other Delaware breweries and cocktails crafted with Delaware-made spirits. Snacks are available, and outside food is permitted. While WBW will continue to brew its beer at its original location, the new site will house the brewery’s expanding hard cider production.
