Delaware Nature Society to benefit from Benevolence Nights
Abbott’s Mill is one of the nature areas that will benefit from two Dogfish Beer & Benevolence nights
During the month of August, both the DuPont Environmental Education Center and Abbott’s Mill Nature Center will benefit from Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats Benevolence Nights. In conjunction with this month of benevolence, Dogfish will also release “On a Wing and a Beer,” a blonde stout brewed in partnership with the Delaware Nature Society on Wednesday, August 7 at their Rehoboth location.
“Brewed with coffee, cocoa, blueberries and bee balm, On a Wing and a Beer celebrates the birds that stop off in Delaware as they migrate as well as the insects that help pollinate the plants around us,” explained the Dogfish website. “This blonde stout, which is 7 percent ABV, contains shade grown coffee and cocoa with native Delaware ingredients of blueberries and bee balm.”
DuPont Environmental Education Center will also benefit from the benevolence nights
That evening, from 4 to 9 PM, Delaware nature Society will also receive 10 percent of the night’s sales at the Rehoboth brewpub, located at 320 Rehoboth Avenue.
On August 21, Dogfish Head Brewing and Eats will hold a second Benevolence Night to benefit the Delaware Nature Society. According to the company, their deep roots in Delaware led them to holding Beer & Benevolence Nights as way of giving back to the community that has helped them nourish those roots and grow.
Over the years, Beer & Benevolence has raised millions in support of various organizations including the Nature Conservancy, the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal Improvement Association, Delaware Botanic Gardens, the installation of bicycle repair stations and pumps, Habitat for Humanity and now Delaware Nature Society.
