How we score

The editorial take

Brew Works is the only production brewery and taproom DE, offering a broad range of house beers and ciders. The award-winning lineup spans ales, lagers, sours, and ciders, with named selections like Perry, a Bosc and Bartlett pear cider, and Acclamation!!, a hazy double dry-hopped Mosaic beer. The taproom serves its beer beyond the brewery, supplying Delaware bars, restaurants, hotels, and venues. The Alamo Room hosts ticketed events including Pilates & Beer, Yoga Works, Nerd Nite and Vinyl Pop-Up Shops, some of which include a beer or cider.

What should I order?: Start with Perry, a cider made from Bosc and Bartlett pears, or try Acclamation!!, a big hazy double dry-hopped beer brewed entirely with Mosaic. For a different direction, Autonomous Spy is a single-varietal cider using only Northern Spy apples. If you prefer a beer with floral notes, Antinomy offers an easy-drinking high-alcohol profile with Czech Saaz dry-hop character.
Who will enjoy this place?: This brewery appeals to drinkers interested in a range of fermented beverages, from hop-forward ales to fruit-driven ciders and mixed-fermentation beers. The taproom and its ticketed events, such as Pilates & Beer and Vinyl Pop-Up Shops, draw those looking to combine a drink with an activity. The distribution to Delaware bars, restaurants, hotels, and venues means the beer is also available beyond the brewery.
When should I go?: Consider visiting during one of the Alamo Room's ticketed events, such as Pilates & Beer or Yoga Works, which include a beer or cider. The taproom is also a destination for those wanting to try the house beers and ciders directly.
What should I expect to spend?: The Pilates & Beer class is priced at $15 and includes a beer or cider. Other event and drink prices are not detailed in the available information.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: Brew Works is DE's only production brewery and taproom offering craft ales, lagers, sours, and ciders. Its beer and cider are award-winning, and its products are served at Delaware bars, restaurants, hotels, and venues. The Alamo Room hosts ticketed events like Pilates & Beer, Yoga Works, Nerd Nite and Vinyl Pop-Up Shops.
