Local breweries are popping up all over Delmarva and craft beers are becoming more and more popular.
What goes better with a brewery than a beach? That’s exactly what Crooked Hammock in Lewes thought. Jon Schorah, brewer and brand development manager of Crooked Hammock and Chef Dominic Pandolfino join us in the studio.
Jon brought in some samples for us to try including Shoobie – a Belgian blonde ale, Mootzy’s Treasure IPA, and Wai Ola – a California coconut ale. Chef Dominic with Crooked Hammock is pairing the Wai Ola beer with mussels in the DelmarvaLife kitchen.
