With games, seating and a heated tent in winter, Thompson Island Brewing Company’s beer garden is worthy of USA Today’s list of the best beer gardens in the U.S. SUBMITTED PHOTOS
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.
