Wilmington Brew Works Adds Second Location
Wilmington Brew Works (WBW) is expanding its presence to the Brandywine Hundred neighborhood with the launch of BREW WORKS NORTH, located at Branmar III on Marsh Rd, a space previously home to Bellefonte Brewing Company.
Calling it “a modern take on a retro pub,” the new space will feature competition cornhole lanes, dart boards, a billiards room, and plans for pinball, shuffleboard, and foosball tables. BREW WORKS NORTH will serve a variety of WBW’s craft beers and ciders, along with guest taps from other local breweries, and house cocktails made with Delaware spirits. It will be a 21+ space and allow outside food. Opening is slated for mid-to-late spring, with the original Miller Rd. location remaining unchanged.

Together again and back for an epic encore, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Grateful Dead continue their long, strange trip together with the launch of a new collaborative beer, Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale, a refreshing 5.3% ABV brew now available nationwide.

Fans can celebrate at a special launch event on March 12 at Brooklyn Bowl’s New York location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, featuring a live performance by Grateful Dead tribute band, Bushwick’s Dead. Tickets are available at BrooklynBowl.com/Brooklyn.

Claymont Resident Turns Hobby Into A*dam Fine Jerky
Claymont resident Adam Chesia, a wine industry professional, turned his pandemic hobby into a thriving side business — A*Dam Fine Jerky. Unsatisfied with store-bought options, he experimented with homemade recipes, infusing many with beer, wine, or spirits to create unique flavors. After rave reviews from friends and neighbors, he decided to take it to the next level.
Ten varieties are available, including two gluten-free options, with such flavors as Jalapeno Margarita and Mexican Lager with Tajin. Each batch is hand-cut, marinated for up to 48 hours, dehydrated, and inspected to ensure top quality. Chesia takes pride in his craft and hopes the public agrees.
