Stewart's Brewing Company, 15 years: They grow up so fast!

Holy, moly. I, too, thought I was in Stewart's inner circle of distribution lists when Ric Hoffman asked if I knew about their anniversary doings...which began this past Wednesday. NO, I did not! Although, an enterprising youngster like me should have stopped by their website to see if anything new and interesting was going on. So bad on me in that regard... ...and on to the point. Stewart's Brewing of Bear, DE is in the midst of celebrating its 15th anniversary of opening the mashtun door on 7/27/1995. And, here's what they've got cooking here 15 years later in 2010. Other than taking the show on the road, as they typically do, to Ommegang's BCTC event in Cooperstown, NY, back at the fort in Delaware, they've got a bunch of fun stuff going on for us all to enjoy in helping them to celebrate 15 years. Maybe I'll use one of these dates as an excuse to deliver on a long-promised visit.
