Dogfish Head Wants You To Spend The Night
In spring 2014, we’re opening the Dogfish Inn on the harbor in historic Lewes. Right smack between our Milton brewery and Rehoboth brewpub, it’s the perfect place to enjoy all that Dogfish Head and coastal Delaware have to offer.
Here at Dogfish Head, we have places to eat, places to drink and places to play. The missing link? A place to stay. We’re fixin’ to change that. In late spring of 2014, the 16-room Dogfish Inn will open in downtown Lewes, Del., at what is now the Vesuvio Motel.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of craft beer fans from around the world make a pilgrimage to Dogfish Head’s coastal Delaware brewpub and brewery. For nearly a decade, we’ve helped host some of these folks at the Dogfish Head Brewmaster’s Suite at the lovely Inn at Canal Square. Our migration a few boat-lengths down the canal will give us a bigger home base dedicated to exploring all of the off-centered opportunities in this beautiful part of the state.
“We’ve already got great excitement from the Department of Tourism, Delaware Economic Development Office and the Governor’s Office for this project,” says Dogfish Founder and President Sam Calagione. “And we’re excited to work with the local agencies as well because we’re very confident that this motel will bring a lot more business not just to Dogfish but to the other local retailers and restaurateurs in Delaware.”
Dogfish is more than just a brewery, and the Dogfish Inn will be more than just an inn. For starters, it’s in just the right spot: overlooking the harbor in historic Lewes, at the halfway point between our brewpub and distillery in Rehoboth Beach and our production brewery in Milton.
We’ve teamed up with Studio Tack in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Lighthouse Construction in Magnolia, Del., to design and renovate the property and bring some Dogfish vibes to Lewes. There will be a bunch of fun stuff to do at and around the Inn, so stay tuned and start thinking about your first trip!
