Once Around the Sun 2026 Bottle Release
Our annual barrel-aged Imperial Stout returns for Thompson Island’s birthday weekend.
This year’s Once Around the Sun spent six months aging in a peated Scotch whisky barrel, developing layers of oak, rich chocolate, dark fruit, and earthy smokiness.
Available in bottles while supplies last.
7th Anniversary Beer Dinner | 6:00 PM
Celebrate seven years of Thompson Island with a special four-course beer dinner from Sous Chef Shannon Zabel, featuring seasonal dishes paired with Thompson Island beers.
Advance tickets required.
Stone Jack Ballers Live | 6:30–8:30 PM
Keep the birthday celebration going with Stone Jack Ballers, Delaware’s premier jam band, live in the Beer Garden.
This free performance is part of the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival and brings an energetic night of live music to Thompson Island. Grab a table, order a beer, and settle in for jam-band favorites, great food, and good times during one of the Delaware beaches’ biggest music weekends.
