DelaWeAre statewide beer collaborations return

DelaWeAre, a statewide collaboration to help grow the Delaware craft brewing industry, has returned this fall. Breweries from across the Small Wonder state have released their versions of DelaWeAre beer. 

For this year's version, craft beer fans in the 302 can expect India Pale Ales. Hoppy goodness is guaranteed, but IPA is a pretty broad category, so there will be a variety of color and hops content, and range of alcohol by volume percentages.

Regardless of subcategory, IPAs are always in style. “Last year, we brought stouts to the table. This year, we’re giving the people what they want: IPA,” said Jimmy Vennard, Delaware Brewers Guild president and founder of Autumn Arch Beer Project. “Our statewide collaboration is one of the highlights of the year. I’m eager to see the creativity the guild members bring to the table this time around. It’s safe to say Delawareans are going to enjoy these.”

Participating breweries include Apothecary Brewing, Autumn Arch Beer Project, Bellefonte Brewing, Big Oyster Brewery, Crooked Hammock Brewery, Dewey Beer Co., Dogfish Head, JAKL Beer Works, Lewes Brewing Co., Volunteer Brewing Company and Wilmington Beer Works.
