Staas Brewing Company - Delaware

Where to start...we love Staas. We love everything about this brewery. It is owned by a phenomenal husband and wife team. Donald and Liz treat us like old friends every time we stop in. It feels like home to us when we walk through the door. They brew such delicious beers, but the beer that keeps us coming back is their ESB (English Extra Special Bitter). Do not let the word bitter scare you away. They have hands down the best ESB I have ever tasted. The perfect maltiness complemented by the smooth mouthfeel. It is an easy drinking English beer. I can sit and drink it all day long in fact, I have done that, and that made for a stupendous day. Pre-COVID Staas would have food trucks in the evening. But this is post-COVID and we do not need a reminder that our world is different. Staas currently is not having food trucks. After talking to Donald, he mentioned the lack of food trucks is by design. His thought is it encourages his patrons to support locals restaurants in the area if they want food with their Staas pint. That is exactly what we did, we supported a local restaurant while having a beer at Staas. What a thoughtful decision by Staas. I highly suggest next time you are in Delaware, you get a to go pizza from Mohio and a pint of ESB at Staas. You will not be disappointed. Say hi to Liz and Donald for me too. Cheers!

Enjoyed our first visit to Staas Brewing. They have unique beers on tap that you won't find just anywhere. I enjoyed the apricot wheat and my husband loved the classic ESB. Super casual atmosphere, fun to sit out front and people watch. Also enjoyed the music, classic tunes! Will definitely return, cheers!

Nice stop on the Ale Trail. Third brewery within a city block. Craftsman like interior. Music was nice loud (which I enjoyed). Good selection of beer with friendly service. We almost walked past the brewery until we noticed the artwork in the window.

. Doesn't open until 3pm on Saturday, plan accordingly. Wish it opened earlier. I really enjoyed the Pluggy's Town Porter- vanilla Porter. New shuffle board table is a plus. They sell flights.

Staas is the better known Delaware brewery. It has pretty good beer. This has been around a few years. It's pretty cramped at the bar. There's a few outdoor seats and indoor tables. I had the Baumholder. It's a German style beer. This is about $5 for a pint. It's served in a traditional biergarten style glass. This has hints of banana and pepper. It's best served with a lemon. This helps bring out taste. It's not that big inside. It doesn't have a menu. They often have food trucks.
