Epitomizing the soul of Dogfish Head since 1995, Brewings & Eats originated as the smallest commercial brewery in the United States and the beginning of the Dogfish Head story. Brewing only two or three 10 gallon batches a day on a glorified homebrew system, Dogfish founder Sam Calagione had the flexibility to indulge his off-centered whims, wandering into the brewpub’s kitchen to grab handfuls of raisins, a cup of maple syrup, and even a scoop (or two) of roasted chicory.
It wasn’t long before Sam’s ever-hungry imagination lead him to experimenting with small batch vodkas, gins and rums, and in 2002 he began honing recipes and building a loyal cadre of spirit drinkers among guests. Serving up a menu of wood-grilled dishes and live music on the weekends, Brewings & Eats became known as the home of Original Beer, Original Spirits, Original Food and Original Music.
After over two decades in Rehoboth, we opened the new Brewings & Eats right next door to our original space with the same commitment to world-class food, beer, spirits and music. Our scratch-made brewpub menu features original pub fare like our Crab Corn Chowder, Seafood Tacos, House Baked Pretzel Bites and wood-grilled Indulgence Burger, alongside a selection of wood-fired pizzas from our stone hearth oven, sandwiches and tacos, soups and salads, and entrees! Phew! Stop by for a selection of off-centered ales including cask beers and Brewpub Exclusives only available at Brewings & Eats, as well as creative cocktails. We can fill up your Crowler or growler to-go!
Throughout the pub, you’ll find artwork celebrating the creative, rebellious connection of three American art forms: punk rock, hip-hop, and craft brewing. Our state-of-the-art stage hosts regional and national acts all-year-round, strengthening our sentiment that the enjoyment of a beautiful beer while listening to original music at the same time is an exponentially awesome experience.

Over the course of our visits, we also tried the Citrus Squall, a PB Martini, an Espresso Martini, and an Old Fashioned. Each drink was prepared with consistent attention, though the two martinis and the 30 Minute IPA remained the memorable choices for me. The IPA was particularly agreeable and worked well as a steady table companion.
The food was satisfactory and somewhat more refined than standard pub fare. The chicken sandwich leaned a bit dry, although the macaroni and cheese was pleasing, especially when brightened with hot sauce or a drizzle of hot honey. The salad was the standout dish for both of us, while the grilled cheese with soup followed closely. We also ordered a burger, which was dependable and well put together.
We intend to return to Dogfish whenever we visit or pass through Rehoboth, and we remain genuinely appreciative of the drinks and the measured, thoughtful service provided by the staff.
