Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton, Delaware

We stopped at Dogfish Head for lunch before heading to Cape Henlopen, and we were happy that we did. Dogfish Head is known for its “off-centered” ales so any beer lover would be delighted to visit. Families will also be pleased to know that their Milton location is a totally kid-friendly brewery that offered delicious food and a great atmosphere.

We went on a nice day so that we could take advantage of the outdoor patio. We were able to easily snag a picnic table with a great view of the steampunk treehouse that’s featured prominently on the grounds. (Unfortunately, visitors can only enter as part of a brewery tour). The kids were delighted to find an open Cornhole board as well as a sand bocce court. 

They were happy to explore the grounds while we waited for our order of pizza and calzones. When the food was ready, we were pleased to discover that the food at Dogfish Head is just as amazing as the beers. The brewery also offers a wide range of non-alcoholic drink choices for kids that would enjoy a juice or other beverage. 

We found that arriving early (around noon) afforded us the opportunity to enjoy a mostly empty patio. I would imagine that as the day wears on, the outdoor space is more likely to fill up. They do not have coloring pages so be sure to bring your own if you think you’ll need some!
