With the absence of sales tax, Delaware is a great destination for shopping. Shopping is nice and all, but this tiny state is also the home of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. If you are a beer connoisseur, this is a perfect way to get a behind the scenes look at one of the best microbreweries in the United States. (Well, that is for you to decide after you taste test.)
Settled in Milton, Delaware, Dogfish Head Brewery is a perfect stop if you are heading to the beaches or if you are just driving through the state and need a pit stop. Open Monday through Saturday, from 10:45am-7pm, the place offers free taste testings, free tours, and a fully stocked brew shop.
When you arrive, you should definitely take a tour first. All you have to do is sign up at the front desk when you walk in. The tour will give you a better idea of the history of the company and the way that the company functions. For around an hour, bartenders/tour guides lead groups on a journey through the facility which includes seeing fermentation, bottling, storing, and more.
Do not be surprised if there are several people in your tour group who are home brewers. Dogfish Head Brewery was actually started by a home brewer who eventually became very successful.
