Delaware on Tap brewery app expands

The happiest season of all will now also be the hoppiest, with the addition of four new craft breweries to www.VisitDelaware.com’s Delaware on Tap mobile app.

Each location offers a unique atmosphere and special take on the brewmasters’ art. They bring the number of craft breweries, wineries, cideries and meaderies included in Delaware on Tap to 36.

Now, planning an adventure using Delaware on Tap is easier with the addition of geo-notifications that let users know about nearby restaurants, attractions and other craft beverage spots.

The new breweries are: Thompson Island Brewing Company, Rehoboth Beach; Brick Works Long Neck, Millsboro; Crooked Hammock Brewery, Middletown; and Autumn Arch Beer Project, Newark.

They are part of a growing craft beer scene in Delaware that ranks second in the number of gallons of craft beer produced per adult resident over age 21 and ninth in economic impact per capita, according to the Brewers Association.

The app also provides tips on events, tours and transportation options. It even keeps track of the number of places visited through a virtual pint glass that fills as a user checks in at each location.

Users who visit 10 stops will receive a free commemorative pint glass.
