Dewey Beer Co.

A custom brew pub in Dewey Beach which offers plenty of vegan options along with bar food favorites?  Hmm, there must be some other feature that has been drawing local and tourist crowds for years?  Ahh, yes, a beer menu that is almost as extensive as the food menu, with beer-by-beer brewing details to aid in your draught selection.  Dewey Beer Co. is a microbrew pub that offers food, not the other way around.  Fruited sours and IPAs are its specialty, and so are the accompanying burgers, dogs, and fries, and its only-found-here, vegetarian cheesesteak sandwich.  While salads and veggie options render DBC appealing to almost every appetite, most enjoy DBC for its extensive microbrews, loud music, and fun vibe, with the usual bar food favorites an added option.  Found in the heart of the Dewey Beach strip, you are equally close to the beach or to the various clubs that define weekend nights, a prime location no matter your ultimate destination. While families are welcome, DBC is more of an adult experience, especially when you lunge into the various beer samplers that tease you into another round or three, as long as DBC’s famous nachos continue to hold out.  It is hard to drive a mile in the Delmarva region without finding a ‘we-brew-it-on-premises’ micropub, so what can they do to stand out?  Well, brew a better mousetrap is one idea, and DBC has certainly found its microbeer niche.  As for food, drinking all that beer tends to lead to the munchies, and while DBC’s kitchen does not disappoint, it also does not have that much local pub style food competition.  DBC has found a sweet spot of good food, good beer, and a fun but not raucous vibe sure to please all patrons no matter your food or beer preference, because DBC has something for everyone in your party.
