Delaware’s breweries bring back collaboration scheme
The brewery collaboration initiative to help grow Delaware’s craft brewing industry, named DelaWeAre, is being revived this week.
According to the Delaware Brewers Guild, breweries from across the state will all begin releasing stouts during the first week of November.
Delaware Brewers Guild president and founder of Autumn Arch Beer Project Jimmy Vennard told Craft Brewing Business: “With the cooler weather that time of year, stout makes perfect sense. We look forward to our statewide collab every year, I’m excited to see what the Guild members come up with this time around.”
Participating breweries include: Bellefonte Brewing; Big Oyster Brewery; Crooked Hammock Brewery; Dew Point Brewing; Dewey Beer Co; Dogfish Head; First State Brewing Co; Iron Hill Brewery; JAKL Beer Works; Lewes Brewing Company; Stewart’s Brewing Co; Twisted Irons Brewery; Volunteer Brewing, and Wilmington Beer Works.
The Delaware Assembly representing the state is currently in the process of mulling a bill legalising alcohol delivery from restaurants and breweries via third party vendors.
At present, the state has a three-tier distribution system that requires producers — like breweries and wineries — to sell its products to wholesalers, who in turn sell it to retailers. However, Delaware is one of the smallest states in the US and the aim of the bill is to assist vendors and intrusive am element of quality control.
