Wilmington Beer Week is happening now through the 16th.

There are so many events happening throughout the city, including tastings, meet and greets with area brewers, and demonstrations, that you should just visit the official page, linked below.  The 'events' link will take you to the full calendar:

Today, there are events at Domaine Hudson, Union City Grille, and Columbus Inn.  Monday there's a 16 Mile Brewery event at Piccolina Toscana.  The rest of the week includes 3-5 events each evening at other noteable eateries such as: Deep Blue, Vinoteca 902, Washington Street Alehouse, Chelsea Tavern, the Queen Theatre, and Harry's Seafood Grill.

Participating breweries include: 16 Mile, Dogfish Head, Old Dominion, Fordham, Twin Lakes, Yards, Sam Adams, Victory, Evolution, Clipper City, Harpoon, Flying Fish, (we like our nautical themes here on the Mid-Atlantic seaboard...), Sam Adams, and Saranac.

Wait, NO LANCASTER?   But they're local and their Milk Stout and Strawberry Wheat are so goo-oo-ood!  Screw that overly-hoppy Philly noise (ever tried to get a drinkable beer at Johnny Brenda's, unless Milk Stout is on the menu?  GOOD LUCK).  Also, let's have some Leinenkugel's next time, dear organizers.  It ain't summer if I can't get my hands on some Summer Shandy.  Until then, that plinking sound you hear is me shedding a tear in my ... beer.

One last note: the can't-miss event of the week for true beer aficionados (I know, I know - revealing that I like fruity beers makes me not one) is the "American Craft Beer Tasting. More than a Dozen U.S. Craft Breweries at World Cafe Live at the Queen".  This will take place Friday from 5:30-9:30.

Happy Drinking!
