USA Today names Thompson Island Brewing to Best Beer Garden list

USA Today recently released a list of the top 10 beer gardens in the United States, and Thompson Island Brewing Company in Rehoboth Beach is among the readers’ choices.

“When we designed Thompson Island, we incorporated all the elements of a successful gathering spot: games, music, sports and comfort,” said Lauren Bigelow, who oversees the beer program. The company also owns Ocean View Brewing Company.

The tented, heated courtyard includes plenty of seating, and in the exterior courtyard, people can play cornhole, giant Jenga, ping-pong and Connect 4.

There is live music on weekends, and Thompson Island features $6 food specials on Sundays during the football season.

The courtyard is also the site of the beer dinners, even in winter.
