Delaware online offers a timely guide to winter beers from local breweries.

As Ric Hoffman, who runs the brewery at Stewart’s Brewing Company in Bear puts it:

“You want a darker beer for the cold weather. One that warms you and puts meat on your bones.

A nice touch to the article is the addition of suggested dishes to have with the beers. For instance, chocolate cake or pecan pie with Stewart’s barleywine or southwestern cuisine with Iron Hill American barleywine. How about spicy foods like barbeque, Indian and Mexican with Dogfish Head Pangea (which features ingredients from every continent)?
