REHOBOTH BEACH, DELAWARE

Birthed in 2016 as a pilot brewing test station, REVELATION BREWING COMPANY soon operated as a bustling residential neighborhood pub in Rehoboth Beach – and since 2023, a production facility in Georgetown, Delaware (at the former 16 Mile brewery) opened about thirty miles away from this beach town watering hole.

For those “pouring and consuming” Revco beers onsite at the gray aluminum Rehoboth barn house, a casual pub atmosphere surrounds the cozy joint. Its snug concrete-floored main space features an L-shaped bar with twelve draught taps and two sidled TV’s. Interestingly, the bar top’s lacquered surface includes black and white photos of Delaware’s brewing history.

Just outside, aluminum-tabled wicker seats fill the tent area. Splendid homemade wood-fired pizzas went well with Rev’s highly sessionable suds.

Musky barnyard hay contrasted sweet corn sugaring and biscuity bottom of 1791 Pilsner, a polite light body with herbal Saaz hop sash.

Dry Mexican lager, Equilibrio, left spritzy lemon-limed fizz on tortilla-chipped corn malts, leaving a slight tequila hint on its easygoing profile.

Classic lime-juiced ginger beer, Sussex County Mule, a blonde ale based on a mule cocktail, gained tart orange spot and botanical chamomile snip.

Gluten-free Citra-Amarillo-hopped Truth In The Juice Hazy IPA merited stylish attention with its lemon-sugared tangerine tang and millet-grained biscuity rice base given slight marshmallow vanilla fluff.

Brisk grapefruit-peeled orange rind bittering fronted dry Mother-In-Law IPA, a smooth medium body with grassy-hopped herbal pining and mild peach-mango-guava splash.

Dry-hopped Imperial IPA, Grateful Nation, serenaded orange-peeled grapefruit tanginess and zesty tangerine twist with lacquered pine atop sugary pale malts.

Bettering its nebulous dark lager-related stylish competition, Schwarzbier’s dewy mossing soaked dehusked dark malts, prune-stewed black cherry tartness, black-red licorice spicing and musty grape tannins.

Light-roast coffee oiling paraded sweet coconut toasting for Cocoa Nut Joe Porter, a peat-mossed, dark roast-hopped medium body with dried-fruited mocha java center gaining buttery chestnut-pecan conflux.

Soft-toned Irish nitro stout, Brother Phineas, combined chocolate wheat sweetness, light cocoa powdering and nutty coffee mildness.
