16 Mile Brewing Co

If you take the tour– make sure it’s with SARAH she is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met Great Job 16 Mile

Awesome beer in a laid-​back atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and kept up with a busy bar. I tell all my friends that if they’re going through the area, they have to stop here.

Great watering hole for craft beer, it is a nice a hangout and a fun option in an otherwise dead town. One of only a handful of fun places to chill with friends.

Five stars for the epic Christmas tree bonfire.
Everybody was so nice. We really liked the atmosphere and, of course, the Christmas Tree bonfire — when I tell you truckloads of trees came in with their owners to participate. it was something — it all just felt local and wonderful. We had a flight and enjoyed our time there. I can’t remember any of the beer names because I was too carried away with the activity around us, but we’ll definitely be back.

Awesome Beer, Awesome Crowd, They host a «cruise in» once a month for the local car guys to get together in their parking lot and catch up. They also host food trucks in their parking lot, and you can bring your own food. They have a ton of variety in their beers, so there’s something for everyone. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed.

Love this place! Always stop in to fill my growlers when I visit my grandparents in Delaware. Glad to see they are bottling their beers now. Filled a growler with the Oyster Stout, which is my favorite beer from 16 Mile, and probably one of the top 15 – 20 beers that I’ve ever had. Also filled a growler with Blues Golden. The bartender was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the beers. She encouraged us to try samples. Hope to hang out in the tasting room next time!

One of the most friendly paces I have been to. Great people, unique and one-​off craft beers at the brewery. I highly recommend stopping by for a flight or two.

I had an amazing experience yesterday. Stopped in for a beer sampler and stayed for the afternoon. My wife and I had an 8 beer sampler. Beers were consistently good. Whatbmadebthe place so special was Sarah, behind the bar. She was very conversational and eventually had us talking to the people all around us. Stop in and ask for Sarah. Good beer, great conversation.

Stopped in a few months ago to have one beer and stayed for another. It was reasonably active with people of all ages but mostly 30s.
I don’t tend to go for the trendy over-​hopped IPAs and liked the porter (maybe it was stout) quite well.
The flights are a good way to test the waters here.

Passing through Delaware? Are you a fan of craft beer? If so, then you should come on down to 16 Mile Brewing Co! (No I don’t work for the brewery, nor am I a used care salesman).
My buddies and I came here this past 4^th of July weekend. For three out of the four of us, it was our first visit. My friend who had previously been here had been once before and kept telling us how great it was. I should also note that he is not a big craft beer guy so I was a bit skeptical; however, he did not steer us wrong.
I give credit to 16 Mile for serving up brews that not everyone may be used to. If you’re visiting a craft brewery in America, there’s more than a 75% chance that they are serving American style brews and rightfully so but it’s always nice to find an alternative to that. In this case, 16 Mile is that alternative. Their specialty is English style brews which is to say some beers will rely more on the malt than hops.
We tried samples of their beers including their blonde, sour, english IPA, bitter, and American ale and American IPAs. I really enjoyed most of the beers and also found the tour to be very informative.
There is no food served but plenty of beer to go around. I highly recommend checking out 16 Mile for solid beer, friendly service, and a place to relax away from all the craziness of the beach.

Beer was great. Only one complaint that I have is wheres the food? You need to be serving food man, come on.

I’ve patiently been hoping that the beer would come around but it never did. After touring the brewery two years ago I hoped that I was wrong because the staff was so nice. Stopping again today for «THROWBACK THURSDAYS» I realized that the beer hadn’t changed and the bartender was not customer centric. We asked about the Thursday special and she charged us full price because we rang in at 3:58 PM. She indicated that it was because of the computer but we specifically asked prior to ordering. Certainly a petty ante action.

2.75 is what i would give if i could. Bartender was good but none of the beers WOW’d us. The killer tiller (Hot Hot hot) was the most interesting which I mixed with the Russian Imp (we had to buy the bottle they had nothing dark on tap) since the Stout was not a typical full mouth Imperial we r used to.

Really not very good, they give you way too much for a tasting and it is all mediocre. They should focus on narrowing what they grew and making that better. Also, the atmosphere was subpar. I hope that they improve, but for now it’s not worth going to Georgetown to get this beer, stick to dogfish head

Went on the tour good Friday at 1p. Sarah was our guide and we really enjoyed the tour, I tried three beers but I’m not a beer drinker. I Did like the baby’s lunch though. The tasting room is big and pretty and we were able to see the bottling line in progress and meet a lot of the staff as well as the one of the owners Chad, everyone was friendly, we also bought a growler filled with baby’s lunch and a four pack of another beer. We got the amber cheddar which smelled awfu did taste good though, they also sell scrapple which we purchased two packages. They do a beer flight which is 8 samples for $ 16. Can’t beat it, tours are on Fridays and Saturdays,

Awesome little brewery. Much larger than we expected, with great selections, great staff, and friendly service! Sarah was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable of their process and fun too!

Friendly staff & great beers plus bring your own food. They have a food truck on site but it wasn’t open when I was there. Prices are good (esp for the samplers). You should definitely hot this place on your way to/​from the beach. I think there were 16 of their beers on tap. We tried about 10 and were impressed with them all!
Support your local brewery!

Wow. I am a huge craft brew fan. I went here trying to find a favorite among to 20 or so available. One was worse than the other. They have a very hot and spicy brew which was good for what it was, but still tasted bad. When I told the sales manger how bad everything tasted he asked me if I had a bad reaction to the spicy beer. I responded that everything tasted bad. He looked at me incredulously.
I cannot describe just how bad this beer tastes. I had to stop for gum afterward to get the taste out of my mouth. Keep driving right past it. That is a fact! I am shocked that any «brewer» would have such a lack of taste. For the love of God, please taste things before you serve them!

Yet another GREAT reason to pack a few empty growlers for a trip to the coast of DE! The beer is great, the staff are friendly and the inside of the tasty room is very warm and welcoming. As other Unilocalers have mentioned, they don’t serve food because it’s NOT a brew pub. You’re welcome to bring your own grub which is a good idea if you plan on hanging around 16 Mile for more than a few hours.
With all the great beer on tap, you can easily spend some time chatting with the friendly staff or if you stop by on a Saturday, make sure to take the free brewery tour (and bring closed toe shoes). Most of our family trips to the beaches of DE consist of a stop at 16 Mile for a growler fill (or two, or three) of their Inlet IPA.
For the gentleman criticizing 16 Mile for using UK malt, you should talk to the staff to learn why! 16 Mile brews UK style brews which avid beer fans know must use UK grown malt. Even if they don’t use locally sourced grain, they are a small local brewery that definitely deserves our support.
I for one am a beer drinker and a huge fan of 16 Mile Brewery. If you’re in the area or on your way to Rehoboth, Dewey or Bethany Beach, stop in for a few pints.

16 Mile has two awesome things going for it. The first is really, genuinely good beer. The second is a great, friendly atmosphere. Even if you, like me, are visiting from states away you get that feeling that you are now part of the group. Both times I visited they had 7+ of their own brews on tap and while I, like every beer drinker, have my favorites all of them are solid beers. That being said I highly recommend the Old Court and Harvest, and if it’s fall, the oyster stout.
Please do pay attention, 16 Mile is a brewery, not a Brewpub so the most you will find in the way of food are munchies pulled from behind the bar. This is certainly not a complaint, as the beer is good enough to stand on it’s own.
16 Mile is the kind of brewery I love to visit. The space feels comfortable, the people are friendly, and the beer tastes darn good. It has cemented itself as a staple on every trip to Delaware.
