The first weekend of December we headed up to Delaware for the Sutton family Christmas celebration. We wanted to stop through DC and check out some sights but it was a cold rainy day so we nixed that plan and decided to head to the Dogfish Head brewery in Milton and then on to the Brew Pub in Rehoboth Beach!
They have majorly expanded the brewery since we were there, so we enjoyed a few free samples and then hopped on the tour to check out the new production.
They added this new warehouse out back. The piping is sending the beer out to the warehouse to the new bottling line and soon a kegging line out there.
And boxed!
Piping, heading back to the brewery:
We did a little bit of shopping
Then headed to Rehoboth. We enjoyed dinner and a couple of brewpub exclusive drinks:
And we found some World Wide Stout from 2010.... that would never just sit on a shelf in Raleigh, if we could even get that beer in NC.
We stayed the weekend at Mommom Pat's... Her Jack Daniel decoration, including the lighted bottle Trey made her a couple of years ago:
Lounging around with my favorite tiny dog
The next morning we did some shopping, we always have to hit up the Amish stores. Here was a horse & buggy that all of the Amish "drive" around town.
More crazy bottles sitting on the shelf that flew off in Raleigh:
Saturday afternoon was "Christmas" at Mommom Pat's. McKenna got a "computer" and was pretty excited about it. It's amazing what little kids know and understand. At one point she said "my computer needs charging" What! She's 2!
Enjoying our new glass "solo cups" and some Christmas brew.
Nevaeh got a pipe cleaner creations book so we spent the evening creating EVERY pipe cleaner animal in the book. I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or her :)
This looks like an awesome trip... but those glass solo cups are brilliant! Would make such a fabulous gift for a total beer-lover!
