Restaurant Review: Dew Point Brewing Co.

You know that old adage about buying property that says the three most important aspects to consider before purchasing are location, location, location. The Hoffman Family, who own and run Dew Point Brewery, got that one exactly right.

It is difficult to imagine a better place to have a brewery than the old Garrett Snuff Mill. A gorgeous old brick building that still has the smoke stack in the middle of the yard and ivy growing up the sides. While the brewery itself is easy to find with your GPS, the tasting room is a bit of a hunt. It is around the back of the building and up a flight of stairs.

Delaware's Covered Bridges

I have written before about my love of covered bridges. I admit that I was not aware that northern Delaware had some covered bridges until I stumbled across one of the three one day while I was driving somewhere else.

A bit of research showed that only three "authentic" covered bridges exist in Delaware, all in New Castle county. While some covered bridges exist in Kent and Sussex counties, they are not deemed authentic. To be so, the bridge must be constructed with tresses, not other methods. Who knew?
