Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, known for its innovative approach to brewing, hosted its inaugural PickleBrawl event April 6, drawing pickleball enthusiasts and beer lovers alike to its location in Milton. Attendees enjoyed sampling Dogfish Head's specialty pickle-inspired brew paired with an array of pickled delights, as well as local non-pickle food trucks.
PickleBrawl proved to be a hit among the crowd, with participants praising the event's fun atmosphere and the brewery's inventive beer offerings. Together with the First State Pickelball Club, the event raised a total of $1,000, which was donated to the Beebe Medical Foundation.
