Hundreds of people enjoyed the latest beers from local and regional breweries at the inaugural 86 Hook & Ladder Brew Fest Sept. 9 at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. 

Attendees could enjoy a variety of beers while noshing on food, listening to a live band and participating in raffles and giveaways. Thompson Island Brewing Company also unveiled the Engine 86 IPA especially for the event.
