Local Flavor You read about it in Delaware Today. Now taste it: Dogfish Head Craft Brewery will do a special tapping of Delaware Native Ale at the Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats brewpub in Rehoboth Beach for Delaware Today readers on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at noon. This is good stuff, people: a lightish ale the color of hay with hints of local peaches and pears, locally grown hops—a rarity—and a yeast harvested in the wild at Fifer Orchards in Wyoming.
