Drinking some beer for a good cause sounds good to me.

Kane Brown at Bottle & Cork

Twenty-two year old Georgia native, Kane Brown shot to the top of the charts after independently releasing his viral sensation “Used To Love You Sober” to digital retailers. Named as an “Artist To Watch” by Billboard, HITS and Huffington Post, Brown developed an underground swell of fans by posting original and cover songs to his personal social media channels.

After joining forces with RCA Nashville in January 2016, Brown answered fans' demands and released “Used To Love You Sober” to country radio as his debut single. He is currently touring with more than 35 sold out shows, and will join Florida Georgia Line later this summer.

Check him out: 1807 Coastal Hwy, Dewey Beach. Call 302-227-7272 or visit bottleandcorkdewey.com for tickets.

Beer release

For this highly anticipated brew, Mispillion Brewing Company took Holy Crap! and aged it in an Elijah Craig barrel for six months. This aging process imparted smokey, bourbon notes into the caramel sweetness of the red ale.

And behold, the Merde, a barrel aged imperial red ale. The bottles will be sold for $20 each.

If you go: 255 Mullett Run St, Milford. Call 302-491-6623 for details.
