About This Event
Hosted by the Independence Seaport Museum and Home Brewed Events, Drink the Delaware is a festival where attendees not only can enjoy samples from local breweries, cideries, distilleries, and more but also learn about how water is used in the process and why it’s important to keep our region’s waterways clean. Hear from experts in related industries and services, sample drinks that utilize water from the Delaware River, and spend the evening celebrating this underappreciated, but critical resource.
